COVID-19 

Dorchester Physiotherapy remains CLOSED as the Ministry of Health and the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario have released the following information to help reduce the spread of COVID-19:

• Outpatient physiotherapists are restricted to providing emergency care only. 

​

What constitutes emergency care in a private practice setting?

​

• Emergency care includes assessment and therapeutic intervention or services for conditions or situations where not receiving physiotherapy services (whether in-person or virtually) would put the patient’s safety at risk, or there is potential for significant harm, adverse patient outcomes or suffering. 

• Significant harm, adverse outcomes or suffering means the patient may be at risk of hospital admission or re-admission, long-term incapacity or harm, or it would worsen a chronic condition that may not allow the patient to recover.

​

What's Next?

​

• We are working on Tele-rehabilitation protocols in order to connect to our patients virtually.

Please do not hesitate to ask questions:
