When COVID happened and all physiotherapy clinics had to close their doors to in person practice, physio students were hit just as hard. We were actually getting ready to accept three students from Western that very week, and were very sad that we never had the opportunity to help them grow. Fast forward 3 months. Things are back to a new normal and we are excited for tomorrow because we get to WELCOME two Master of Physiotherapy Students from @westernuniversity to our cli...nics on the last placement of their academic career! You will get a chance to meet and work with these students over the next 8 weeks, which is great because usually placements are only 6 weeks and end way too soon! We are grateful to be able to show them what physio means to us and how our clinics help so many in the London community rehab their way to better health!

Happy Canada Day from Preferred Rehab Physiotherapy!

Your body has been through a lot over the past couple of months. The good news is starting Monday, June 8 you can give your body what its been craving for - massage therapy. Call or book online to secure your appointment before theyre all gone!

See you tomorrow London! Doors open at 9 am

As we mentioned in our previous post, we have been getting ready to see you in person starting Monday! Take a look at how our clinics have changed. Mandatory hand sanitization stations have been implemented at the entrance, plexiglass sneeze guards so clear you can barely see them, lack of a waiting room, arrows to direct patient flow, dedicated and isolated treatment areas, are just some of the changes you can easy see. Aside from that, we are implementing strict and frequent cleaning and disinfecting protocols, COVID - 19 screenings as well as mandatory implementation PPE (check out our next post). And for now our doors WILL remain OPEN, so that you dont have to touch the handles ;) See you MONDAY!

It really does seem like everyone is going through the same things, and at this point in the game the gents are looking for their clippers to try to self-manage their unruly locks. . . . But what can we learn from this experience? Our colleague @darrylyardley hit the nail on the head with his post.... . . . If using YouTube to learn how to cut your own hair results in just a mediocre hair-do, why would you do the same to treat your own injury and pain? . . . We have TeleRehab to make sure you dont have to resort to this method during this period of self-isolation. You shouldnt try replace your physiotherapist, just as you shouldnt try to replace your barber! . . . Give us a call to schedule your individualized one-on-one virtual physio appointment with one of our physiotherapists! . . . P.s. We wanted to spare you from Naders before hair cut photo, and we apologize to the patients that had seen him like that during their TeleRehab sessions! See more

People are loving our virtual physiotherapy sessions! If you are working from home, this is the best time to have our physiotherapists assess your work station for proper ergonomics in order to prevent any injuries from occurring! Give us a call or send us an email to book in for a virtual TeleRehab assessment or treatment, we are welcoming new and current patients alike!

The flu season (+virus outbreaks) is still hanging on, like it or not. But did you know that if a person is immobile for even a few days - such as being sick with the flu, post-surgery, etc - they can experience vestibular decompensation? . . . Vestibular decompensation is a very common cause of episodes of dizziness, vertigo, and imbalance in people with vestibular hypofunction, after they spend a few days resting in bed.... . . . Some common causes of vestibular hypofunction that occur gradually over time include diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, tobacco smoking, and normal aging of the inner ear. . . . Vestibular Physical Therapy is effective for recovering from vestibular decompensation.

Physiotherapy delivered to you in the comfort of your own home, no in-person contact necessary! . . . Does online physio really work?... . . . Yes! Essentially it works the same as any normal physio appointment would. By its very nature, online physiotherapy cant provide hands on treatments, like manual therapy. Perhaps, however, that forces it to be more efficient to cut out the temporary relief and focus instead on the activities you can do to aid your recovery. . . . Let us help you by showing you how you can be in control of your recovery! . . . Call us or email us to book an online TeleRehab appointment today! See more

How do you play a role? 1) Upon entering and exiting the clinic/studio, please use the hand sanitizer provided in the waiting area. 2) If you are feeling unwell/are taking time off of work due to illness, suspect you have been in contact with someone with the virus, or have/are travelling to areas that are at high risk, please do not hesitate to cancel your appointments.
