Physiotherapy Role

Physiotherapists work closely with the hematologists and nurses to provide:

• Education to patients and families about how to prevent bleeds
• Treatment and rehabilitation following bleeds into joints and muscles
• Advice regarding suitable recreational and sports activities for people with bleeding disorders
• Advice regarding joint protection
• Advice and treatment for pain management
• Assistance to determine when an orthopedic consultation is needed
• Regular comprehensive assessment to monitor joint status

During your review visit you will see a physiotherapist for assessment. One-on-one follow-up appointments are also available pending patient and physiotherapy availability. You can contact the physiotherapist to set-up an appointment through email.
