Joint Pain

• Tendinopathy/Tendonitis (e.g., Achilles, Patellar, Rotator Cuff, Tennis/Golfer's Elbow): Pain, tenderness, swelling, and dysfunction in a tendon (the strong cords that attach muscles to bones) due to overuse, repetitive strain, injury, or degeneration. Common sites include the Achilles, patellar tendon (knee), rotator cuff (shoulder), or elbow (tennis/golfer's elbow).

At Function101 Chiro + Physio, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Tatsiana frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• At Tatsiana's physiotherapy practice, individuals with that grinding or crunching feeling in my knee or shoulder are guided towards increased endurance for walking, allowing for longer and more enjoyable outings. The focus is on enabling you to once again participate fully and comfortably in activities you enjoy, such as doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of post-operative stiffness and weakness that's slowing down my recovery? Tatsiana works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of being able to climb stairs with ease and confidence once again. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as playing a few sets of tennis without shoulder pain.
• With Tatsiana's help, managing numbness, tingling, or weakness in my hands, arms, feet, or legs to achieve reduced swelling and inflammation in injured areas becomes a clear journey, allowing patients to confidently re-engage with life and activities like reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches.
• Many patients have found lasting relief from an awkward gait or limping when I walk and achieved enhanced ability to participate in social and community events under the skilled care of Tatsiana. This renewed physical ability often allows them to re-engage with beloved activities such as driving for longer periods without neck or back pain with a new lease on life.

Your personalized physiotherapy plan, developed with Tatsiana, will be designed to help you reach your specific functional and wellness objectives.

Is physiotherapy covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

OHIP generally does NOT cover physiotherapy services in private outpatient clinics for most of the population. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available in specific situations (e.g., post-hospitalization for certain conditions, for children/youth, seniors, or through Community Physiotherapy Clinics/Family Health Teams), but eligibility criteria are strict and there may be waitlists. Always check your private/extended health insurance plans, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

I have private health insurance. How does that work with physiotherapy payments?

Many private health insurance plans offer full or partial coverage for registered physiotherapy services. We recommend you contact your insurance provider directly before your first appointment to understand the specifics of your plan. Key things to check are: your annual maximum for physiotherapy, any per-visit limits or co-payments, whether a doctor's referral is required for reimbursement, and if your plan allows for direct billing by the clinic. If Function101 Chiro + Physio offers direct billing and your plan allows it, we can often bill your insurer directly for the covered portion. You would then be responsible for any co-payment or remaining balance not covered by your plan at the time of service. Please bring your insurance card and all necessary policy details to your first appointment. If direct billing is not possible, we will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurer.

Do I need a doctor's referral to see a Physiotherapist in ON?

Patients in ON can typically see a Physiotherapist directly without a physician's referral (direct access). However, some private/extended health insurance plans require a referral for reimbursement. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

What is Function101 Chiro + Physio's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. We kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for cancellations or rescheduling. A fee may be charged for late cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Is there anything specific I should bring to my first physiotherapy appointment?

To make your first appointment smooth and productive, please bring: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), imaging test results, a list of medications, and your extended health benefits information for direct billing if available. Wear comfortable clothes.
