Physiotherapy Department

Area residents recovering from injuries and those who want to maintain their mobility have access to a complete range of physiotherapy services at the Almonte General Hospital-Fairview Manor (AGH-FVM). Our physiotherapists provide preventative and therapeutic services aimed at restoring function and preventing disability arising from disease, trauma and injury. Our volunteers play an integral role in supporting department function.

The AGH-FVM physiotherapy department provides services to outpatients, inpatients on the Medical Surgical Unit, and clients in the AGH Day Hospital program, Rosamond complex continuing care unit and Fairview Manor Nursing Home. The physiotherapy department also contracts services to Orchard View Retirement Home.
