How to Access Government-Funded Hip and Knee Replacement Physiotherapy in Winnipeg
Recovering from a total hip or knee replacement is a journey that requires specific, expert guidance. To achieve the best joint mobility, strength, and long-term success, post-operative physiotherapy is an essential next step.
Fortunately, for residents of Winnipeg, the Manitoba government provides funded physiotherapy programs to ensure cost is not a barrier to your recovery.
At Motion Science Physiotherapy, we are proud to be an approved provider of this government-funded program. Here is a straightforward guide on how the program works and how you can access it at our clinic.
What is the Government-Funded Post-Op Program?
The Manitoba government funds post-operative physiotherapy sessions for individuals who have recently undergone total hip or total knee replacement surgery.
This program ensures that you receive the critical early-stage rehabilitation needed to:
-
- Safely restore your range of motion.
- Rebuild strength in the muscles supporting your new joint.
- Improve your balance, walking pattern, and confidence.
- Safely return to your daily activities and hobbies.

How to Access the Funding at Motion Science Physiotherapy
Getting started is simple and direct:
-
- Contact Us to Register: Call our clinic or contact us through our website. Let our administration team know that you have recently had or are about to have a total hip or knee replacement and want to look into the government-funded post-op program. We will look after the details and guide you through the process seamlessly.
The Motion Science Difference: Why Choose Us For Your Recovery?
While the funding program assists with your sessions, where you choose to do your rehab matters. At Motion Science Physiotherapy, we treat your recovery differently than high-volume clinics:
-
- Strictly One-on-One Care: We do not double-book patients or leave you alone with a machine. Your time is spent entirely with your dedicated physiotherapist.
- Unhurried Sessions: We provide thorough, comprehensive sessions (45–60 minutes for your initial assessment and dedicated 30-minute follow-ups) so you never feel rushed.
- Accessible and Stress-Free Parking: When you are recovering from joint surgery, walking long distances through a parking lot is the last thing you want to worry about. Our clinic offers free, spacious parking right outside the doors with seamless Handi-access.
