Preparation for Visit
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.
Please note that due to the high number of patient visits to our hospital every day, you may experience clinic wait times and a delay in finding parking. We encourage you to arrive early and allow for extra time on the day of your appointment. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding.
Care Team

Education & Additional Information
Who We Help
Our Outpatient Physiotherapy team is here to support patients who have had hip or knee replacement surgery at our hospitals and were referred by a Trillium Health Partners orthopedic surgeon.
To book your first physiotherapy appointment, please call 416-521-4142 at least one week before your surgery so we can plan for your care.
We also welcome referrals for patients covered under Bundled Care or the GTA Rehab Network, even if your hip or knee surgery was done at another hospital.
Referrals can be faxed to 416-521-4117.
When Will I Start Physiotherapy?
Knee Replacement: Most patients start physiotherapy three to five days after leaving the hospital.
Hip Replacement: Your first physiotherapy appointment is usually two to four weeks after leaving the hospital.
If you have any questions or need help, please call us at 416-521-4142. We're here to make your recovery as smooth as possible.
