What Is Physiotherapy?
Physiotherapy is a healthcare discipline focused on restoring movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness, or disability. Our physiotherapists use a combination of manual therapy techniques, therapeutic exercises, and specialized modalities to address the root cause of your pain — not just the symptoms. Whether you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with a workplace injury, or managing a long-term condition, physiotherapy can help you get back to the activities you enjoy.
Conditions We Treat
Our physiotherapy team has extensive experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical conditions, including:
- Back and neck pain — including herniated discs, sciatica, cervical radiculopathy, and degenerative disc disease
- Joint pain and arthritis — osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and joint stiffness affecting the knees, hips, shoulders, and hands
- Sports injuries — sprains, strains, ligament tears (ACL, MCL), rotator cuff injuries, tennis elbow, and runner’s knee
- Post-surgical rehabilitation — recovery after joint replacement, spinal surgery, ACL reconstruction, and other orthopaedic procedures
- Motor vehicle accident injuries — whiplash, soft tissue damage, and chronic pain following car accidents
- Workplace injuries — repetitive strain injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, and injuries covered under WSIB
- Headaches and migraines — tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches caused by neck dysfunction

- Balance and mobility issues — gait retraining and fall prevention for older adults
Our Physiotherapy Treatment Approach
Every patient at Reddy’s Physio Rehab receives a thorough initial assessment before treatment begins. Your physiotherapist will evaluate your movement patterns, strength, flexibility, and pain levels to develop a personalized treatment plan. Our approach combines several proven techniques:
- Manual therapy — hands-on techniques including joint mobilization, soft tissue release, and myofascial therapy to reduce pain and improve range of motion
- Therapeutic exercise programs — customized strengthening, stretching, and stabilization exercises designed to support long-term recovery
- Electrotherapy modalities — including ultrasound therapy, TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), and interferential current for pain management
- Heat and cold therapy — targeted application to reduce inflammation, relax muscles, and promote healing
- Education and self-management — guidance on posture correction, ergonomic adjustments, and home exercise programs to prevent recurrence
What to Expect During Your First Visit
Your first physiotherapy appointment at our Scarborough clinic typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes. During this visit, your physiotherapist will:
- Review your medical history and discuss your symptoms, goals, and any previous treatments
- Perform a physical examination assessing your posture, range of motion, strength, and areas of pain
- Explain the diagnosis and discuss a recommended treatment plan, including expected number of sessions
- Begin initial treatment if appropriate, which may include manual therapy and introductory exercises
- Provide you with a home exercise program to support your recovery between visits
Follow-up sessions are typically 30 to 45 minutes and focus on progressive treatment to help you reach your recovery milestones.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a doctor’s referral for physiotherapy?
No. In Ontario, you can see a physiotherapist without a referral. However, some insurance plans may require one for coverage, so we recommend checking with your provider.
How many physiotherapy sessions will I need?
This depends on your condition and recovery goals. Some patients see significant improvement in 4 to 6 sessions, while more complex conditions may require ongoing treatment over several weeks or months. Your physiotherapist will discuss a realistic timeline during your first visit.
What should I wear to my physiotherapy appointment?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows your physiotherapist to access the area being treated. For lower body issues, shorts or athletic pants are ideal.
Is physiotherapy painful?
Some techniques may cause mild discomfort, particularly when working on tight or injured areas, but treatment should not be painful. Your physiotherapist will always communicate with you and adjust the intensity based on your comfort level.
