Who Qualifies for AHS-Funded Physiotherapy?

You may be eligible for AHS-funded physiotherapy if you meet one of the following criteria:

  • Low-Income Status – For individuals with general joint or muscle conditions who qualify based on financial need.

These services are designed to help patients restore function, manage pain, and regain independence—especially after surgery or injury.
