Founded in 1989, OrthoCanada is known for providing professional expertise about the physiotherapy rehabilitation products it manufactures and distributes to clinics, hospitals, specialty medical retailers and retail pharmacies in Canada.
OrthoCanada manages its nationwide business from its head office in the Ottawa region, having established strategic partnerships with service centres across Canada. With this structure, OrthoCanada provides expert support to thousands of professionals (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, sports medicine, chiropractic, athletic therapy, kinesiology, acupuncture, massage) in diverse environments, including hospitals, rehabilitation centres, schools, fitness centres, sports teams, associations, corporations, retail pharmacies, and orthopaedic and medical equipment dealers and distributors.
Many Canadian clinics have come to rely on OrthoCanada’s core team of professionals, which includes 2 physiotherapists, a kinesiologist & a PTA , all of whom provide timely recommendations and assistance that allow healthcare professionals to increase patient health and wellness. From filling day-to day-needs with standard physiotherapy equipment and supplies to providing sophisticated and precise treatment options for specialized applications, the team at OrthoCanada is committed to supporting the Canadian rehab community.
When setting up new clinics, the OrthoCanada team provides comprehensive assistance with everything from equipment recommendations to installation and training. Over the years, they have played a key role in many state-of-the-art rehab projects, such as the William Osler Health Center in Brampton, the first Cleveland Clinic in Canada on Bay Street in Toronto, the HUR Smart Card Exercise Facility at the University of Western, the Athletic Therapy Center of Queen’s University or the Perform Center of Concordia University. Whether managing extensive nationwide expansion projects or getting small hospital or private clinics in remote areas of the country up and running, OrthoCanada always delivers professional advice, outstanding attention to detail, and long-term customer support.
For fully operational clinics and dealers, OrthoCanada provides ongoing support that includes its One-Stop Restockâ„¢ clinical supply program and unparalleled product knowledge for both general and specialized applications.
A cornerstone of OrthoCanada’s unique offering to Canadian physiotherapists is the solid partnership it has built over the last twenty years with reputable rehab equipment manufacturers from Australia, Britain, China, Finland, Germany, Holland, Israel, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States.
