Sports Injury

• Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome (Runner's Knee / Anterior Knee Pain): Knee discomfort frequently experienced by runners, cyclists, and those involved in activities with repetitive knee bending, which physiotherapy can effectively manage through exercise and biomechanical correction.
• Stress Fractures (Activity-Related - Conservative Management/Rehab): Localized bone pain that typically worsens with activity and is relieved by rest, often accompanied by tenderness to touch over the affected bone.
• IT Band Syndrome (Iliotibial Band Friction Syndrome): An overuse injury resulting from repetitive friction of the IT band over the lateral femoral epicondyle (at the knee) or greater trochanter (at the hip).
• Shin Splints (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome): Inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue (periosteum) around the tibia, which requires rest, activity modification, and specific physiotherapy interventions for recovery.

Back Neck Pain

• Spinal Stenosis Symptoms: Symptoms like 'neurogenic claudication' – leg pain, cramping, or heaviness with walking or prolonged standing that typically eases with rest or bending forward (flexion).
• Herniated Disc / Sciatica / Radiculopathy: Symptoms of nerve compression originating from the spine, such as a 'slipped disc' or 'pinched nerve', causing radiating pain, altered sensation, or muscle weakness in a limb.
• Postural Back/Neck Pain: Pain and muscle tension related to ergonomic factors at work or home, muscle imbalances, and suboptimal body mechanics or movement habits.
• Whiplash Associated Disorders (WAD): Symptoms resulting from a whiplash injury, which can vary in severity (WAD Grades I-III) and duration, requiring a comprehensive physiotherapy approach for recovery.

• Core Stability & Strengthening Training: A progressive program designed to build a strong and stable core, improving your body's foundation for all movements and reducing strain on other structures.

• Don't let that 'arthritic' pain in my hands, hips, or knees dictate what you can and cannot do. Twinkle Parmar offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at reduced muscle tension and a feeling of greater physical ease, helping you reclaim walking up and down several flights of stairs without issue or breathlessness and enjoy a more functional life.
• The journey to better managing flare-ups with personalized strategies and feeling more in control of their symptoms when faced with persistent feeling generally stiff, achy, and less mobile than I used to be is made smoother and more effective with Twinkle Parmar's expert physiotherapy care, often leading to a fulfilling and active return to pastimes like attending and enjoying their children's or grandchildren's sporting events.
• The path to recovery from trying to stay as mobile and active as possible while living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and achieving a better ability to cope with the physical stresses of daily life for safely meeting the lifting requirements at their workplace often starts with expert guidance. Twinkle Parmar, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.

What kind of clothing should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?

It's recommended to wear or bring clothing that allows unrestricted movement and provides easy access for your physiotherapist to examine the body part being assessed or treated. For instance, if you have a knee problem, please wear or bring shorts. For shoulder issues, a sleeveless top or a top with loose armholes is often helpful. The goal is to make the assessment and treatment as effective as possible.

Can physiotherapy help prevent injuries or recurring pain?

Yes, absolutely! Physiotherapy plays a significant role in injury prevention and managing recurring pain. Your Physiotherapist can identify underlying risk factors such as muscle imbalances, poor movement patterns, postural issues, or biomechanical inefficiencies. By addressing these through targeted exercises, education on proper body mechanics, ergonomic advice, and activity modification, physiotherapy can help reduce your risk of initial injury, prevent re-injury, and manage chronic conditions more effectively, keeping you active and healthy.

What is physiotherapy and how can it help me?

Essentially, physiotherapy helps you get moving and stay moving effectively and comfortably. Whether you're dealing with an acute injury, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, or a condition affecting your physical abilities, your Physiotherapist will work with you. They'll use their expertise in body mechanics, rehabilitation, and pain management to create a personalized treatment plan involving exercises, hands-on techniques, and practical advice to help you achieve your functional goals and live a more active, fulfilling life.

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

In Ontario, you typically do not need a doctor's referral to see a physiotherapist. This is known as direct access. However, some private or extended health insurance plans may require a referral for coverage of physiotherapy services. It is strongly recommended that you check with your insurance provider to understand their specific requirements before your first appointment.

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

OHIP generally does not cover physiotherapy services provided in private clinics. Publicly funded physiotherapy is available through specific programs and in certain 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 waitlists may apply. It is essential to check your private insurance coverage as many plans offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions needed varies greatly depending on individual circumstances. Following your initial assessment, Twinkle Parmar will provide a better estimate of the number and frequency of sessions required to achieve your goals. Your progress will be regularly reviewed, and the treatment plan will be adjusted as needed.

Is there parking available at or near Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital?

Yes, there is ample free patient parking available on-site at Mackenzie Richmond Hill Hospital. Please look for designated patient parking spots.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your first appointment will involve a comprehensive assessment. Twinkle Parmar will discuss your medical history, symptoms, concerns, and goals for physiotherapy. This will be followed by a thorough physical examination to assess your range of motion, strength, posture, balance, and movement patterns. Based on this assessment, Twinkle Parmar will provide a clinical impression, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and may begin initial treatment or provide a home exercise program.
