The Outpatient Orthopedic Physiotherapy team offers live virtual classes to help patients prepare for total hip replacement (THA) and total knee replacement (TKA) surgeries.
They are held several times per week and are approximately 60 minutes in length. Patients and families will learn what to expect from their recovery and will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to a physiotherapist and physiotherapy assistant.
Topics covered include common post-surgery exercises, how to best use crutches and walkers, how to climb stairs safely and more.
Please contact pre.op.physio@lhsc.on.ca to enroll in a session prior to your surgery.
