Outpatient Physiotherapy Services
Outpatient Physiotherapy Services at Trillium Health Partners 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. Outpatient 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
Outpatient Physiotherapy Services accepts patients who have had surgery at our hospitals for total joint replacements (hip/knee), and who are referred by Trillium Health Partners Orthopaedic surgeons.
We also accept referrals from surgeons whose patients reside in our Local Health Integrated Network or our local geographic area, even if you did not have your surgery at Trillium Health Partners.

Resources for Patients & Their Families
When Will I Start Physiotherapy? How Long Will it Last?
-
Knee Replacement. You can expect to start outpatient 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 6 weeks. Virtual care is available if requested.
-
Hip Replacement. If you have had a hip replacement, your first appointment in outpatient physiotherapy will typically be between 2-4 weeks post-discharge. You will likely only need 2-4 visits. Virtual care is available if requested.
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.
