At Generations Sport and Spine Physiotherapy, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Tayler frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Patients struggling with recovering my strength and energy after being very sick (like with pneumonia or Long COVID) can find dedicated and compassionate support from Tayler. The therapeutic focus is squarely on achieving improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics, using a range of physiotherapy services to facilitate a return to meaningful daily activities such as reading a good book for hours without experiencing neck pain or headaches.
• Many find that hip pain when I walk, climb stairs, or try to sleep on my side significantly impacts their ability to keeping up with their team during our weekly soccer match. Tayler helps patients target enjoying cycling or swimming regularly without pain or limitation with physiotherapy, making a return to these activities possible.
• Tayler believes that everyone deserves to move well and feel their best. If needing help to get moving again after a long period of illness or inactivity is hindering your ability to being able to kneel or squat down to play with pets or children, a personalized plan focusing on enjoying family vacations and outings with more energy and less pain can make all the difference.
• For those whose facial weakness or drooping on one side (like Bell's Palsy) has made shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back seem like a distant memory, Tayler's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward improved ability to lift and carry objects correctly and safely. Effective, evidence-based treatments can be instrumental in helping you get back to shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back with greater comfort and renewed confidence.

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

Tayler practices at Generations Sport and Spine Physiotherapy, situated in the Downtown Niagara Falls (Queen St area) neighborhood of Niagara Falls.

What is manual therapy in physiotherapy?

Manual therapy involves skilled, hands-on treatments performed by your Physiotherapist as part of your overall physiotherapy plan. These techniques are designed to assess and treat your joints, muscles, and nerves to decrease pain and improve your mobility and function. Examples include specific joint mobilizations to improve movement, soft tissue release techniques to address muscle tightness or scar tissue, and sometimes manipulations (adjustments) if indicated and appropriate for your condition and your therapist's qualifications.

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 insurance for coverage as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

How can I book an appointment at Generations Sport and Spine Physiotherapy?

You can book an appointment by calling our clinic directly at (905) 358-9090 during our business hours. Our friendly reception team will be happy to assist you in finding a suitable appointment time with the right physiotherapist for your needs.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Definitely. A key aspect of physiotherapy is not just treating current problems but also preventing future ones. A Physiotherapist can assess your movement, identify potential weaknesses or imbalances that could lead to injury, and provide you with a personalized program of exercises and strategies. This proactive approach is beneficial for athletes, individuals with physically demanding jobs, or anyone looking to maintain long-term musculoskeletal health and avoid recurring pain.

Does Generations Sport and Spine Physiotherapy offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

Please contact the clinic directly to confirm their direct billing capabilities and accepted insurance providers. Always confirm your specific coverage details, including any annual maximums, per-visit limits, or deductible requirements, directly with your insurance provider, as plans vary significantly. You are responsible for any portion not covered by your insurance.

What is Generations Sport and Spine Physiotherapy's appointment cancellation policy?

We understand that schedules can change unexpectedly. To ensure we can accommodate all our patients efficiently, we kindly request at least 24 hours' notice for any appointment 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.

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. However, some private/extended health insurance plans *do* require one for reimbursement of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

What should I do if my condition seems to worsen after a physiotherapy session?

Some temporary post-treatment soreness can be normal. However, if your pain significantly worsens, if you develop new concerning symptoms, or if the discomfort doesn't settle down within a day or two, please call us. Your Physiotherapist would want to know so they can offer guidance and make any necessary adjustments to your care plan. Open communication is key to your successful recovery.
