After surgery.
A first assessment after an operation looks at where you are now and what your surgeon has asked of you.
What a first assessment looks at
- What the operation was, when it was, and the instructions you were sent home with
- How the area moves today, and how much strength is there
- Swelling, walking, stairs, getting up from a chair: the everyday jobs
- What you do at work, at home and for sport, and what you want back
- A home exercise plan you can do between visits
We work with your surgeon’s instructions, not around them. Bring any paperwork from the hospital. Nothing here is a timeline: how you move on depends on you and on what was done.
Funded physio
Some physiotherapy is government funded.
With a valid Ontario health card, government-funded physiotherapy is available at Community Physiotherapy Clinics to the people below. We are not one of those clinics: ask us whether this applies to you and we will point you the right way.
You do not need a referral to receive care at a Community Physiotherapy Clinic. Sources: College of Physiotherapists of Ontario and ontario.ca.
