At Saint Elizabeth Health Care - Rehabilitation, physiotherapy is focused on helping individuals like you achieve significant improvements in health and daily activities. Varinder Kaur frequently helps patients work towards goals such as:

• Don't let that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit dictate what you can and cannot do. Varinder Kaur offers physiotherapy solutions aimed at successfully avoiding or delaying the need for more invasive treatments or surgery, helping you reclaim pushing a stroller or shopping cart without difficulty and enjoy a more functional life.
• The path to recovery from feeling unsteady on my feet or experiencing dizziness and balance problems and achieving a noticeable improvement in their gait and walking efficiency for painting or drawing for longer stretches without neck or shoulder ache often starts with expert guidance. Varinder Kaur, a skilled physiotherapist, provides just that.
• Varinder Kaur frequently assists patients in overcoming the effects of feeling like my joints are just 'wearing out' and getting harder to move. A carefully designed physiotherapy program, potentially including specialized manual techniques and progressive exercises, targets a smooth and confident transition back to their work duties and supports your enthusiastic engagement in desired activities like attending concerts or theatre shows and sitting comfortably throughout.
• For those whose sharp pain shooting down my leg, feeling a lot like sciatica has made shoveling snow or raking leaves without aggravating their back seem like a distant memory, Varinder Kaur's physiotherapy care offers a clear path toward a greater sense of body confidence and trust in their physical abilities. 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.

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 plan, as many offer significant physiotherapy coverage for services in private clinics. Verify your specific eligibility for any public coverage directly with the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP).

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 Saint Elizabeth Health Care - Rehabilitation offer direct billing to private insurance companies?

While we do not offer direct billing at this time, we provide detailed official receipts that you can easily submit to your insurer for reimbursement according to your plan. Please bring your insurance card and policy details to your appointment and 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.

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

To make your first appointment as smooth and productive as possible, please consider bringing: your health card, any doctor's referral letter (if applicable), results or reports of any imaging tests (X-rays, ultrasounds, MRIs) related to your current condition, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and your extended health benefits information (insurance card/policy number) for direct billing if available at our clinic. Wearing comfortable clothes is also a good idea.

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 of physiotherapy services. Check your individual insurance policy before your first appointment.

What is Saint Elizabeth Health Care - Rehabilitation'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. This allows us to offer the time slot to other patients. A fee may be charged for late cancellations (less than 24 hours' notice) or missed appointments. Please contact our clinic as soon as possible if you need to make any changes to your appointment.

Will I be given exercises to do at home?

Yes, a personalized home exercise program is a crucial component of most physiotherapy treatment plans. Your Physiotherapist will prescribe specific exercises tailored to your condition, abilities, and goals. These exercises are designed to complement your in-clinic treatment, help you manage your symptoms effectively between sessions, accelerate your recovery, and empower you with tools for long-term self-management. Your active participation in your home program is key for optimal results.
