Post COVID-19 Rehabilitation and Recovery Program

Post Covid Rehab and Recovery Program 2Post Covid Rehab and Recovery Program 1

Are you still feeling the effects of COVID-19 weeks after your diagnosis?  You’re not alone.  Preliminary research shows that 1 in 10 people suffering from COVID-19 can develop “Long COVID” where symptoms can last up to 12 weeks or more.

We can help. Whether you are struggling with fatigue, weakness, difficulty breathing, balance issues, or you just don’t feel back to normal, our multi-disciplinary team will help you get you back to life.

* Note, this program is not for patients actively infected and/or with active symptoms of COVID-19.

What is the Post COVID-19 Rehabilitation and Recovery Program?

COVID-19 is unlike any other illness we’ve experienced. Fear of the unknown is impacting many, and those recovering from the virus often face many lingering issues.

As we recognize this virus may be with us for some time to come, we have developed a new program to meet the emerging needs of Canadians called the Post COVID-19 Rehabilitation and Recovery Program. The program was developed for individuals who have contracted the virus and continue to feel the physical and mental effects of this critical illness. The program addresses both the current and long-term needs of those affected by the pandemic.

The program was developed in collaboration with leading healthcare professionals across the country and reflects the most current research on the topic. Our rehabilitation services are available in-person or virtually.

How does it work?

Our therapists are trained on the latest COVID-19 research and clinical best practices. Our multi-disciplinary approach to assessment and treatment is designed to help you recover as quickly and safely as possible.

Our team collaborates together to ensure you receive the treatment you need. Your treatment plan may include a combination of approaches such as physical exercise, manual therapy, vestibular therapy, education and more.

How can it help me?

As every situation is unique, we tailor our care to meet your needs. We can help address the physical symptoms, which may include physical deconditioning, difficulty breathing, decreased balance, impaired cardiac function, and more.  We work with you to develop a specific treatment plan to help treat your specific issues.

What can I expect at my initial appointment?

At your initial appointment your physiotherapist will discuss any medical history that relates to your condition, so please bring details of any health problems and past treatments.

As well, an assessment will be conducted, virtually or in-person, on the area or areas where you are experiencing discomfort. If in-person please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that will allow the area to be evaluated.

This is a great place to take your classes or exercise therapy. I was there for the GLA:D exercise programme led by Sarah Phillips. She was clear, concise and encouraging when needed. The reception staff are friendly and professional. All in all, a very good experience and convenient location too.

Trevor was great! He provided detailed information (which I asked for 😀) to understand my injury (damaged ligaments on my foot), and provided a very reasonable and doable exercise/physio regimen, which he adjusted as my recovery progressed. Staff at the clinic are also lovely! Thank you!

I had the pleasure of working with Sarah Phillips through my recovery from a torn Achilles. She kept me informed at every stage, explained what to expect, and adjusted my therapy to overcome any challenges. Thanks to her expertise, I made consistent progress and had an excellent overall recovery at the end. Beyond her skill, Sarah’s warm and friendly personality made every session enjoyable and motivating. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of expert, compassionate physiotherapy care.

My good friend recommended me to the Dr. was very honest and very helpful in telling me what to go going forward. Gave me exercises to do at home. How to handle stairs with less pain. Would highly recommend him if you are in pain of any kind. Very helpful and near public transit.

I booked a series of appointments to try and establish a good therapeutic schedule and after the first one the therapist insisted I come back to see her earlier than planned - which I did... booking a 45 minute follow-up that turned into a distracted 20 minutes of her note taking... they did adjust the billing to reflect a 30 minute session but it was not an auspicious start. Then I received a garbled voicemail that seemed to cancel my third appointment - which I had booked a month in advance. It blamed the error on someone at the clinic who forgot to update the schedule... but both my follow-ups to confirm / reschedule were completely ignored. Consider another company or at least another location...

the staff is just awesome, I was having pain in my shoulder which few other places were not able to figure out, Danny spotted the cause and fixed the problem. I am thankful to him and East Toronto Orthopaedic staff from the bottom of my heart
