Government Funding - Hip & Knee

Have you recently had a hip or knee replacement surgery?  Are you on a wait list for a hip or knee replacement in Manitoba?

GREAT NEWS!  The Government of Manitoba has made it easier to get the physiotherapy treatment you need after hip or knee replacement surgery.  If you're eligible for this government funding, our clinic can get it for you. 

We offer two treatment options as you recover from hip or knee replacement surgery:

  1. One-on-one treatment sessions with a physiotherapist, to ensure you get personalized care. 
  2. Hip and knee classes with a physiotherapist instructor.  These classes are great for doing your exercise program in a fun environment, and getting to know other people with hip and knee conditions.  Learn about our hip and knee classes here.

Both treatment options are eligible for government funding at our clinic.  Whether you have private insurance or not, our physiotherapists and administrative staff can help you figure out how much funding you are eligible for.
