AGH Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation

Trusted Care. Modern Treatment. Right Here in Almonte.

Supporting the Almonte community for decades.

The clinic officially opened in 1982 as part of a broader hospital renovation project, created to meet the growing rehabilitation needs of the community and to strengthen access to high-quality physiotherapy close to home. Since then, it has remained an integral part of care at Almonte General Hospital.

While our history runs deep, our focus is firmly on today’s patients. We provide current, evidence-based physiotherapy interventions to support recovery from injury and surgery, manage chronic conditions, and help patients return to the activities that matter most to them.

Care is delivered by a highly experienced team of physiotherapists with a combined 45 years of clinical experience. This depth of expertise allows for thorough assessment, sound clinical decision-making, and individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s goals. At AGH Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation, long-standing experience meets modern practice - delivering physiotherapy you can trust, right here in your community.

Experience you can trust. Care that keeps you moving.
