How Many Physiotherapy Sessions Will I Need?

The number of sessions depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients feel significant improvement after just a few visits, while others with chronic or complex conditions may benefit from a longer-term plan. Your physiotherapist will review your progress regularly and adjust the frequency and duration of your sessions to ensure optimal outcomes.

Can Physiotherapy Help With Post-Surgery Recovery?

Yes. Physiotherapists play a key role in post-operative rehabilitation by helping you regain mobility, strength, and confidence after surgery. A tailored program will guide you through safe exercises and strategies to speed up recovery and improve long-term results.

Do I Need a Doctor’s Referral for Physiotherapy?

In most cases, you do not need a doctor’s referral to see a physiotherapist in Ontario. However, some extended health insurance providers may require a referral for coverage. It’s a good idea to check your policy or speak with your insurance provider before your first appointment.

How Does Physiotherapy Contribute to Overall Wellness?

Physiotherapy plays a pivotal role in enhancing overall wellness by focusing on the prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal issues. Through personalized treatment plans, physiotherapists address existing injuries and implement strategies to prevent future occurrences. Techniques such as manual therapy, acupuncture, dry needling, and therapeutic exercises are employed to improve mobility, strength, and function. While physiotherapists often collaborate with other professionals like chiropractors and registered massage therapists to ensure comprehensive care, physiotherapy's focus on functional improvement and injury prevention makes it a cornerstone of overall wellness.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend this clinic enough. A kind, welcoming environment with knowledgeable and professional staff, who you can tell genuinely care about their clients. This clinic has team members with various specialties, and over the last four
months I have an exceptional care experiences with Milay (Physiotherapist), Vince (Registered Massage therapist), Lukas (Pedorthist), and Junmo (Chiropractor). The team has excellent inter-disciplinary communication, and work together to address your needs holistically. When my primary care physician misdiagnosed me, they were able to solve the mystery and help me advocate for the care and tests I needed. Such a welcoming and supportive team - they are skilled and knowledgeable, and very kind and personable.
If you are in need of a physiotherapist, chiropractor, pedorthist or massage therapist, definitely try out Be Active - I have never had such overwhelmingly positive experiences with a healthcare team (I’ve also never left a google review before, so that tells you something!).
Thank you to everyone involved in my care, and also to the lovely reception staff who are always so kind :).

I’ve been seeing Junmo Lee for a few weeks now, and the difference is amazing. I came in with chronic back and neck pain, and after just a few adjustments, I felt real relief. Junmo Lee is professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about their patients. The office is clean, welcoming, and the staff are always friendly and helpful. I really appreciate how they take the time to explain everything and tailor the treatment to your needs. If you’re looking for a chiropractor who knows what they’re doing and truly wants to help, I highly recommend BeActive Physio!

What Is LSVT BIG?

LSVT BIG (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment – BIG) is an intensive, one-on-one physiotherapy program proven to help individuals with Parkinson’s Disease improve:

Walking speed and stride length
Balance and upright posture
Arm and leg movement
Functional tasks like dressing, writing, and getting out of a chair

Backed by decades of clinical research, LSVT BIG retrains your brain and body to use larger, more purposeful movements, helping to counteract the slow, small motions caused by Parkinson’s.

What Are The Benefits of LSTV BIG Treatment?

Using customized, full-body exercises based on the principle of “Think BIG!”, LSVT BIG teaches your body how normal movement should feel again. At first, these larger movements may feel exaggerated — but they are actually closer to normal, healthy movement patterns. With practice, they begin to feel natural.

Clinically Proven Benefits:

Faster walking with longer strides and fuller arm swings
Better balance and core rotation (twisting at the waist)
Improved fine motor skills like buttoning shirts or handwriting
Greater ease with large movements like getting out of bed or dressing

Because Parkinson’s affects body awareness, the program emphasizes high repetition, home practice, and real-world functional assignments. This helps you consistently use BIG movements in everyday life — increasing confidence, comfort, and control.

In just one month of focused therapy, LSVT BIG can unlock noticeable, life-changing improvements in function and independence.

Who is LSTV BIG Treatment For?

		This program is designed for individuals diagnosed with:
Parkinson’s Disease (at any stage)
Atypical Parkinsonism
Other neurological conditions that affect movement 

Early intervention is key. Those in the early stages or newly diagnosed can benefit greatly by starting LSVT BIG early — helping to maintain and improve function before symptoms progress.

Parkinson’s Treatment Physiotherapy Oakville FAQs

How Is LSVT BIG Different From Regular Physiotherapy?

LSVT BIG is uniquely structured to address the motor challenges specific to Parkinson’s disease using high-intensity, amplitude-focused training. Unlike general physiotherapy, it is delivered in a standardized, research-based protocol with certified therapists. The core idea is retraining the brain and body to recognize and maintain “bigger” movements—something people with Parkinson’s often underestimate.

The program also emphasizes neuroplasticity, meaning it helps the brain form new pathways to support better movement. LSVT BIG isn’t just exercise—it’s a therapeutic approach proven to reshape how patients perceive and control movement in real-world situations.

When Should Someone With Parkinson's Start LSVT BIG?

The best time to begin LSVT BIG is as early as possible after diagnosis. While it’s effective at all stages, early intervention offers a chance to delay the progression of symptoms and build stronger movement habits before more advanced motor decline sets in.

Even if someone is not experiencing major mobility issues yet, the program can serve as a proactive measure—improving awareness, coordination, and daily functioning. Think of it as “prehabilitation,” where patients invest in their future mobility, independence, and quality of life by starting early and staying consistent.
