Physiotherapy & Chiropractic at Home in Burlington
Doorstep Doc brings physiotherapy in Burlington, plus chiropractic, to your home. Helena Greyvenstein, Physiotherapist, and Dr. Alex Greyvenstein, DC, come to you, so you get assessed and treated without a drive across Burlington when you're sore.
We're a family-run practice. We're based in Oakville, next door, and Burlington homes are a regular stop.
Physiotherapy
In-home physiotherapy in Burlington
Helena Greyvenstein · PhysiotherapistHelena has been a physiotherapist since 1989. Her main areas of practice are spinal conditions, orthopaedics, pre- and post-surgical rehab, sports injuries and acupuncture. At home, her visits mix hands-on work with exercises, and they happen on the same stairs you climb every day.
People in Burlington most often book physio at home for:
- Neck pain and headaches
- Low back pain and sciatica
- Shoulder pain and tennis elbow
- Rib and upper back pain
- TMJ and jaw pain
Coming home after surgery? Getting to outpatient physio with a fresh knee or hip isn't easy, especially if you can't drive yet. Helena can start your rehab at home and follow your surgeon's protocol:

Common questions
Home physiotherapy and chiropractic in Burlington: questions
AreaDo you come to my home anywhere in Burlington?
Yes, home visits cover Burlington, including Aldershot, Brant Hills, Headon Forest, Millcroft, Orchard and Alton Village. If you're on the edge of town, call and we'll confirm.
SeniorsCan you help an older parent in Burlington stay safe at home?
Often, yes. Helena can work on balance, strength and getting up and down stairs in the actual home, suggest simple changes to reduce trip hazards, and, as a registered ADP authorizer, help with a walker or rollator if one is needed.
SurgeryCan I get physiotherapy at home after surgery at Joseph Brant Hospital?
Yes. Helena can start your rehab at home once you're discharged. She follows your surgeon's protocol and precautions. Some people also qualify for publicly funded physio through the hospital or Ontario Health atHome, so ask your surgical team.
ReferralDo I need a doctor's referral for physiotherapy or chiropractic?
No, you can book either directly in Ontario. Some insurance plans ask for a doctor's note before they reimburse physiotherapy, so check your plan.
CoverageIs in-home physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Doorstep Doc visits are private. Many extended health plans include physiotherapy and chiropractic, so check your plan's details before your first visit.
ChoosingShould I see the physiotherapist or the chiropractor?
It depends on the problem and what you prefer. Book a 15-minute phone call to ask questions and figure out whether physio, chiro or both makes sense for you.
SpaceHow much space do I need for a home visit?
Physiotherapy visits don't need a table: Helena works with the space you have. For chiropractic, Dr. Alex's folding table needs about the size of a yoga mat, plus room to walk around it.
