Current SickKids patients may access outpatient acute rehabilitation Physiotherapy services through specific medical or surgical clinics, including Plastic Surgery, Orthopedic Surgery and other specialty clinics. Referrals to these services can be made by SickKids’ physicians or nurse practitioners.
Please note, we do not otherwise provide outpatient physiotherapy services. Please contact Ontario Health at Home or your primary care provider for alternative publicly-funded options for PT, or seek out private pediatric PT services such as Boomerang Health.
