how much does physiotherapy/occupational therapy assistants get paid?

We Answered:

I would look around the city and state where you live in order to check salaries (on line, in the newspaper, talk with people). Different areas of the country make different salaries, as well as different specialties. You can also go to the American Occupational Therapy Association. This is a salary calculator at Advance for OT practitioners ... http://health-care-obs.advanceweb.com/Sa…
This is a free publication for OT practitioners, but you should be able to access things on line even if you are not an OT. Hope this helps.

Herniated disc/ sciatica??

We Answered:

Did you know there are 3 simple reasons why your sciatica and back pain remain? Would you like to understand what these are so you can be finally free from your debilitating back pain? You may even be surprised to find that you can change most of these your self.

Here goes...

Reason #1: Your sciatica remains for the primary reason of habit. No you don't have habits that you must change like your posture or how you lift. Habit relates to the internal mechanisms of your body. Habits form because of consistent and repetitive acts.

If you have had your sciatica for over a month (yes it only takes 31 days to form a habit) then your body believes it is perfectly normal to have sciatica and back pain. To remove your back pain and sciatica, you need to change these habits. The big question is how?

Treatment from a practitioner will not change habits. Why? It takes 31 days to change a habit. Do you know of any practitioner that does (or willing to) work 31 days in a row? Probably not.

Therefore to change habits you need to use techniques your self, consistently, repeatedly at home to change habits. For sciatica and back pain to disappear once and for all, you need to learn ways to help your self.

Reason #2: Most sciatica and back pain treatments fail as they only address one aspect of your problem. You will see some practitioners, and many internet sites, saying your problem is due to muscles. Then other will say it is joints. Then more who say it is inflamed tissues. And so on.

Who is right and who is wrong. In fact they are all right and all wrong. Back pain and especially sciatica is a combination of factors. Tight muscles, weak muscles, joints not moving correctly and inflammation - these all create your pain.

You also have emotional stress, general health, and fatigue levels that are just as important.

To have a complete and permanent relief from sciatica and back pain, you need to address all these areas. Which leads you to reason number 3...

Reason #3: Most people fail to remove their back pain and sciatica because they believe that to do so is too hard, too laborious, or too time consuming. You may also believe that unless you see results in a few minutes that things are not working.

You then decide to stop using the techniques and fail to consistently change the habits that cause your back pain or sciatica. Reason #1 again.

In reality, to change the habits, to correct the structural and general/emotional causes of your sciatica and back pain need only take a few minutes each day to apply.

Therefore see if their is a local Pilate's Class in your area, learn the techinques: muscle groups, how to exercise each group, how to stabilize your hips, get your core strength and then it is really just a question of one hour a week. Best of Luck

what are good physiotherapy colleges in canada???

We Answered:

Hi. Here's my suggestion. Go to the Study in Canada website (url below) and conduct a search by program of study. Then, when you have a list of schools you're interested in, 'interview' their career planning and placement or alumni office representatives to get some statistics regarding where graduates are located, graduate satisfaction, average salary, types of jobs, etc. Best case scenario, you'll be put in touch with a graduate and can begin networking from the get-go. Worse scenario, you won't get the information you want. It's always worth a shot and you have no idea where it might lead. Remember.... the more people you meet (even by phone) - the more doors of opportunity will open. Also --- if you're from the US, be very careful about your terminology between 'college' and 'university'. More is explained on the "Finding your school" page on the U.S. Students to Canada website (url below). Good luck!

how to get cured arthritis in Canada?

We Answered:

There's no 100% cure, but there are remedies to help.

Try pure concentrated cranberry juice (not sweetened) mixed with water. Drink that throughout the day - everyday. At first it tastes nasty because our taste buds are used to sweetened juice, but it actually starts tasting good. Start out adding just a bit, then keep adding more throughout the days . This REALLY helps with joint pain, including arthritis, and is very healthy all-around.

Start researching holistic medicine for arthritis, such as acupuncture.

Toronto Insurance company cannot find my record of previous insurance so they are charging me as a new driver.

We Answered:

First off ~ prove to them that u were a client with them. If u bring old insurance cards or pay stubs or copies of a bill where it states on it the name of the insurance company that paid then they can't just say we are charging u as a new driver and if that does not work keep asking to speak with the boss and then the bosses boss until u get results.
