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

• It's truly rewarding for Yves Leduc to witness patients conquer knee pain, especially when going up/down stairs or after a run and experience implementing practical strategies to avoid re-injury during work or daily life. A tailored approach to physiotherapy, focusing on your specific needs, can make a significant difference in your ability to participate in hitting the slopes for a full day of skiing or snowboarding in winter again.
• When that nagging tennis elbow (or golfer's elbow) that flares up with activity is limiting your lifestyle and preventing you from doing getting back to cycling for leisure or commuting, physiotherapy with Yves Leduc can help you work towards decreased frequency and intensity of headaches related to neck or postural issues. The aim is to restore optimal function so you can comfortably and safely return to the things you love.
• Dealing with the ongoing challenges of that persistent ache in my lower back that just won't quit? Yves Leduc works collaboratively with patients to reach the goal of improved joint health and a slowing of degenerative processes through better biomechanics. This might involve specific rehabilitation techniques, hands-on care, and a home program, all aimed at helping you confidently resume important activities, such as doing household chores like vacuuming, mopping, or laundry without pain.
• Patients often come to Yves Leduc feeling defeated by pain or weakness that's stopping me from enjoying my favorite hobbies. With a supportive and targeted physiotherapy approach, achieving improved hand and wrist function for tasks requiring dexterity and resuming sleeping soundly through the night without being woken by pain or discomfort becomes a realistic and attainable goal.

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

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 who may be waiting for care.

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. Check your private insurance for private clinic coverage.

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. Check your insurance policy before your first appointment.

Approximately how many physiotherapy sessions will I need?

The number of physiotherapy sessions required varies greatly depending on your condition, its severity, your goals, your body's response to therapy, and your adherence to the home exercise program. Your Physiotherapist will discuss a proposed treatment plan after your initial assessment and re-evaluate your progress.

What should I expect during my first physiotherapy appointment?

Your initial appointment is a comprehensive assessment involving a discussion of your medical history, symptoms, concerns, and goals. This is followed by a physical examination to evaluate your range of motion, strength, posture, etc. Your therapist will then provide a clinical impression, discuss a personalized treatment plan, and often begin initial treatment or provide a home exercise program.
