Clinic-Based Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation

We provide rehabilitation for those recovering from orthopaedic surgery or injuries.

What we do

The Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation team provides short-term and intensive rehabilitation in our outpatient clinic.  

Our therapists see patients who are recovering from joint-replacement surgery, fractures or injuries of the muscles, tendons or ligaments.

Our therapy programs are customized to meet your unique needs and goals. The length of the program and frequency of visits varies.  

What to expect  

At your first visit, you will meet with your rehabilitation therapist who will talk to you about your medical history, assess your abilities and work with you to develop your therapy goals.  

Therapy can take many different forms depending on your individual needs. Your therapy team may include physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and therapy assistants. You may also see a physiatrist (rehabilitation physician) during your program.  

During your Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation program, you may have individual or group therapy in our gym, pool or other therapeutic areas. Your therapy may include exercises and activities to improve any of the following:

  • Range of motion
  • Strength and balance
  • Endurance
  • Use of mobility devices, such as cane and walkers

Your therapist will teach you how to practice exercises on your own time in a safe way. Our care team can also connect you with local community resources and social supports.

Please note we are a teaching hospital, so you may see medical students, residents and learners from various health professions as part of your care. Learners are supervised by other members of our dedicated health-care team who work together to provide you with comprehensive care.

Our therapists offer virtual visits for patients who require them. Details about how to connect with the therapist will be shared with those patients when they make their appointment.

What to bring

  • Health (OHIP) card or valid health-care coverage (needed for every visit)
  • A list of your current medications
  • A list of your current physicians
  • Reading glasses and hearing aids
  • Clothing and footwear for exercising
