How much public funding for physical therapy do I receive in Canada after a hip or knee replacement?

Curovate is a physical therapy app for ACL reconstruction, knee replacement, and hip replacement. One motivation behind creating the Curovate app was to increase access to healthcare and reduce the barriers to providing physical therapy.
Canada has a "free health care system" but how much public funding is actually available for physiotherapy following a hip or knee replacement surgery?
The answer is that it varies quite a bit province to province. Ontario allocates about 300 dollars for physio following a hip replacement and 250 following a knee replacement. Given an average PT session costs between $80 to $100, this covers maybe two to four sessions. British Columbia covers about 26 dollars per physio visit but only allows you a max of 10 visits a year. Manitoba has absolutely no public funding for physiotherapy. Quebec and Newfoundland don't have a funding limit but the average wait time to see a physical therapist can range between 140 to 300 days after surgery. The truth is there is not adequate funding available for physio following these surgeries and that's why Curovate was designed: to help improve access to the public so that they can receive great home care and rehab programs that will help them on their road to recovery.
