Pre and Post Physiotherapy Services at Alliston Physiotherapy And Sports Rehabilitation focus on assessment and treatment of patients who have had total joint replacement procedures (hip/knee). Our goal is to provide early access to assessment and the most current, evidence-based practice treatments to help you return to your daily routine. Physiotherapy services include:
- Assessment
- Goal setting and treatment planning
- Pre-operative and Post-operative Education
- Individual and group exercise programming
- Home exercise program
Registered Physiotherapists and Physiotherapy assistants work together to deliver your treatment program. They have advanced knowledge about working with patients who have undergone a total joint replacement.
Patients are engaged in setting their treatment goals and are expected to participate in their assigned home program to help their full functional recovery.
Who We Help
We also accept referrals from surgeons and all the GTA hospitals.
When Will I Start Physiotherapy? How Long Will it Last?
- Knee Replacement. You can expect to start physiotherapy between 3-5 days after your discharge from hospital, and typically you can expect to participate in an in-person exercise class twice per week for up to 4-6 weeks
- Hip Replacement. If you have had a hip replacement, your first appointment in outpatient physiotherapy will typically be between 1-4 weeks post-discharge
What Do I Need to Bring for In-person Appointments?
- Please bring your Health Card with you to every in-person appointment
- Wear comfortable clothes you can exercise in
- Please bring your walking aid (walker/cane) if required. Please also bring your reading glasses to the initial assessment and reassessment as patients will be filling out intake forms and questionnaires with pen and paper
