About physiotherapy
What is Physiotherapy?
My role as a physiotherapist is to work with you to understand how you can achieve optimal health. I can help you understand possible causes for why you may be experiencing pain or what may have led to your injury as well as provide you with the tools you need in order to become pain free.
Is Physiotherapy for me?
It is not okay to live in pain. In most cases of orthopedic or musculoskeletal pain, physiotherapy can help. In your physiotherapy sessions you will be educated about your injury or condition and we will together work towards your goals while getting rid of your pain and allowing you to return to your desired activities.
How is Physiotherapy paid for?
Physiotherapy services are covered by almost all extended health insurance companies. Direct billing is available. If you do not have insurance or you go above and beyond what your insurance covers physiotherapy fees can be paid for out of pocket.
Currently, Origin Physiotherapy does not provide services that are covered by OHIP or WSIB. If you are looking for a physiotherapy clinic in Hamilton that is covered by either of these please contact me and I will be happy to provide you a list of clinics.
about massage therapy
What is Massage Therapy?
Massage Therapy involves the treatment of muscles and joints through hands-on
treatment techniques. Some of these techniques that can be part of a treatment session include
Swedish Massage, fascial release techniques, trigger point release, and manual stretching
techniques. Massage therapy treatments can help to reduce your pain, maintain movement in
your joints, and decrease tension and restrictions within the soft tissue.
Is Massage Therapy for me?
Massage therapy can be beneficial for multiple injuries and complaints. Whether you
need to decrease some tension in the shoulders or back, have chronic headaches, or are
experiencing muscle soreness from trying a new activity, massage therapy can help. A typical
appointment will begin with discussing your aches, pains, and treatment goals. Manual
massage techniques will then be used to help alleviate these areas of complaint and move you
towards achieving your goals. Near the end of each treatment, simple home care will also be
provided so that you are always a part of your treatment.
