Orthopedic therapy is a branch of physical therapy that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of musculoskeletal injuries, including those affecting bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints.

Orthopedic therapy is helpful for people recovering from surgery, injury, or those managing conditions like arthritis, tendinitis, sprains, fractures, back pain, or postural problems.

An orthopedic therapy session typically starts with an assessment of your injury or condition, followed by exercises, manual therapy, stretching, and strengthening techniques. Your therapist may also use modalities like heat, cold, or ultrasound therapy to support recovery.

Recovery time depends on the severity of your condition and your response to therapy. Acute injuries may heal in a few weeks, while chronic conditions could take several months of ongoing therapy.

Depending of your insurance, you may need a referral from a physician. However, with most insurances, physiotherapists can assess and treat orthopedic conditions directly without a referral.

At the moment, we do not accept OHIP, WSIB or MVA patients.

Currently, we do not offer direct billing for insurance claims. However, we provide detailed receipts for all services, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. If you have any questions about this process or need assistance, please feel free to reach out.

No, you do not need to be injured to see a physiotherapist. Preventative physiotherapy helps to identify and address potential musculoskeletal issues before they become major problems, ensuring long-term health and mobility. By incorporating preventative physiotherapy into your routine, you can enhance your strength, flexibility, and posture, reducing the risk of future injuries and improving overall quality of life.

Your therapist will evaluate your balance and symptoms, followed by exercises designed to help you improve your balance and reduce dizziness. These exercises may include head movements, eye tracking, or walking tasks. It may also involve specific techniques like the Epley maneuver for BPPV.

Yes, vestibular therapy is highly effective for many people with balance and dizziness issues. It can reduce symptoms and help individuals regain their normal activities. Success depends on the underlying condition and the patient’s commitment to therapy.

The number of sessions required depends on the condition being treated and the severity of your symptoms. Some people experience significant improvement after just a few sessions, while others may need ongoing therapy for several weeks.

A typical session will begin with an assessment where the therapist will ask about your symptoms and medical history. The treatment may involve exercises, manual therapy, biofeedback, and education on lifestyle modifications. You might also be taught pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels) or relaxation techniques.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is beneficial for individuals dealing with urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, chronic pelvic pain, post-surgery recovery, or complications from pregnancy and childbirth. It can also aid those with sexual dysfunction or post-menopausal symptoms.

Babies and kids are always welcome. We understand life can be busy and childcare is not always available.

It should not be painful, though some discomfort might be felt, especially if there is muscle tightness or pelvic pain. Your therapist will work with you to ensure you are comfortable.

The duration of treatment varies depending on your condition. Some people may see improvement in just a few sessions, while others may need longer-term rehabilitation.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is highly beneficial for both men and children, helping with issues like incontinence, pelvic pain, and recovery post-surgery. However, at this time, I am focusing on treating female/ assigned female at birth (AFAB) patients and am not currently offering services for men or children. We appreciate your understanding!

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow (or 'Qi') and restore balance. It is often used to treat pain, promote healing, and support overall wellness.

Acupuncture can treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, anxiety, stress, digestive issues, insomnia, menstrual pain, and fertility problems. It is also used to support recovery from surgery or injury.

Acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a trained professional. It’s important to go to a licensed professional to ensure proper technique and hygiene. Mild bruising or soreness at the needle insertion site may occur but typically resolves quickly.

Most people feel little to no pain when the needles are inserted, as the needles used are extremely thin. Some might experience a tingling or dull ache sensation, which is generally a sign that the treatment is working.

The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and individual responses to acupuncture. Acute issues may require fewer sessions, while chronic conditions could need longer treatment.
