Physical Therapy and
Alberta Health Services
– Community Rehabilitation Program

I. General joint or muscle conditions or injuries

Who: Adults and children
Eligibility: All Albertans can call the Rehabilitation Advice Line for general advice.

Physical therapy for general joint and muscle injuries or conditions is no longer funded by AHS unless the patient meets low-income criteria. If a patient meets these criteria, they may be eligible for virtual or in-person services provided in an AHS facility or through a community clinic that has a contract with AHS.

To determine whether someone is low-income, AHS considers a person’s income and family size or their participation in a number of Albertan or Canadian government subsidy programs. To find out if you may qualify for funding support for physical therapy services you can find more information on the AHS website or call the Rehabilitation Advice Line at 1-833-379-0563 Monday to Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Albertans who are not eligible for AHS low-income coverage can pay for physical therapy services out of pocket or using third-party benefits.
