Physiotherapy in Edmonton AB

Being in pain can be rough

But I can get you back to what you love

What's stopping you?

Pain-free movement and activity can elude you, but I'm here to help

Staying healthy can be hard work and sometimes things get in the way. It often starts with an annoying ache or pain: the stiff and achey low back, the lingering knee pain, the painful shoulder at night. These warning signs can turn into bigger problems if not taken care of, robbing us from doing what we love.

About

Hi, I'm Mira and I'm an Edmonton physiotherapist

Mira Jindani, BSc (Hons), MScPT
Edmonton Physiotherapist

"I became a physiotherapist for two reasons: I love the complexity of the human body and I love helping people."

Mira Jindani is a physiotherapist in YEG - Edmonton, AB

I'm a registered physiotherapist in Edmonton, Alberta. I’ve been a physio since 2008 and have helped countless people, from young to old, feel and move better.

Physiotherapy

I specialize in treating and rehabilitating injuries and conditions that affect bones, muscles, ligaments, and nervous tissue.

I graduated from the University of Alberta, and have since taken extensive post-graduate courses to keep on top of the changing science of physiotherapy. As a physiotherapist, I can never stop learning.

Being active is not just something I encourage, I live it. I get out and enjoy many sports, including running, cycling, yoga, scuba diving, snowboarding, and chasing after my two kids.

On my off hours I like to spend time with my family. You can often find me walking Whyte Avenue or the River Valley carrying my camera. I love capturing moments.

Mira Jindani, MScPT
Physiotherapist

Certified Acupuncture Practitioner, Certified Gunn IMS Practitioner, Certified Spinal Manipulative Therapist

I have a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Alberta and an Honours Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Waterloo.

I specialize in treating and rehabilitating various conditions that affect bones, muscles, ligaments, and nervous tissue. My treatment philosophy is to address the primary cause of symptoms. I do this using a combination of advanced manual and manipulative therapy, acupuncture, and intramuscular stimulation to restore normal joint and tissue mobility. This is followed by a targeted exercise program to restore function and minimize re-injury.

As a physiotherapist, I can never stop learning. The science of physiotherapy is always changing and improving. There are always newer and better methods of treatment to get patients feeling better. I keep on top of the science so that I can provide an up to date health care experience for my patients. It is very important for me to continue my education with various post-graduate courses. I have completed Advanced Orthopedic Manual and Manipulative Physiotherapy as well as received certification in Medical Acupuncture (CAFCI). I am a certified in Intramuscular Stimulation (GunnIMS), a dry needling technique for individuals with chronic pain and long standing musculoskeletal problems. I have also completed training from the Running Clinic in the New Trends in the Prevention of Running Injuries. Pelvic Floor physiotherapy is also a special interest of mine and I am happy to now be able to provide this service to patients.

My areas of interest include orthopedic injuries, both spinal and peripheral, and sports injuries including running, hockey, gymnastics, and soccer, among others. I also enjoy helping pre and post natal patients and those suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction.

I take the time to understand your history and perform a thorough physical exam to figure out the real source of your pain.

Provide exceptional care

For me, providing quality patient-centered physical therapy care is the most important part of being a physiotherapist.

When we work together, I go to bat for you. From advocating for you with your doctor to connecting with other healthcare providers, I work to make sure your recovery is the best one possible.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions about physiotherapy I get asked often

What is physiotherapy?

Our body has an optimal way to move. Poor posture, repetitive sports and activity cause imbalances to occur. These imbalances often remain undetected until there’s pain. Physiotherapists are trained in understanding, evaluating and treating human movement disorders and injuries.

What conditions do you treat?

Here is a small sample of the conditions I treat. If you don't see your issue on the list, don't hesitate to send me a message.

View list

Sciatica (e.g., disc herniation)
Sports injuries (e.g., runner's knee, muscle tear, ligament sprain)
Spinal stiffness & pain (e.g., back pain and neck pain)
Knee pain (e.g., patello-femoral pain, ACL tear, meniscus tear)
Motor vehicle accidents - MVA (e.g., whiplash)
Foot pain & ankle pain (e.g., Plantar fasciitis, ankle sprain, achilles tendonitis, bunions)
Shoulder pain (e.g., rotator cuff dysfunction, frozen shoulder)
Hip pain (e.g., arthritis, impingement)
Wrist pain (e.g., carpal tunnel syndrome)
Elbow pain (e.g., tennis elbow, golfer's elbow)

How long does it take to get better?

Once I've had an opportunity to personally understand and assess your problem, I'll be able to give you a timeframe for expected recovery. If we don't feel that progress is happening as expected I will work with you to understand the best course of action.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No. Physiotherapy is direct access. This means that you don't need a referral to come and see me. However, I'd recommend checking with your extended health provider as they may still require a doctor's note to approve your insurance coverage.

Can I use my extended health benefits?

Yes, you can! Check with your benefits provider about how much coverage you have for physiotherapy. I am working on setting up direct billing for most insurance providers including BlueCross, SunLife, Manulife, Great-West Life, and others. I should have this service in the next few weeks.

What kind of manual therapy do you provide?

I provide a range of manual therapy techniques including joint mobilizations, spinal and peripheral joint manipulations. As well, I use various soft tissue techniques to help improve muscle function.

Do you see post surgical patients?

AHS provides special funding to post-surgical patients for physiotherapy care. It has been some time since AHS has opened up this funding program to newer clinics and unfortunately we do not have this program. However, patients can still choose to see a physiotherapist not under this program and physiotherapy treatments can be submitted to your extended health benefits program.

What is IMS?

IMS or Intramuscular Stimulation is a technique developed by Dr. Gunn, a Vancouver medical doctor. He developed a treatment approach that uses acupuncture needles to address dysfunctional nerves and muscles. When nerves get irritated (neuropathic pain) through compression along the spine, the muscles associated with those nerves become irritated. The irritation results in a shortening of the muscles. By needling these muscles we can help to "reset" the nervous system, reduce pain and improve muscle function.
