What is Rehabilitation?
Physical rehabilitation is healthcare services that help a person get back, keep or improve skills and functioning for daily living. Rehabilitation is the process of helping individuals achieve the highest level of independence, function, and quality of life possible.
When do I need Rehabilitation?
The most common reason people see a physiotherapist is to address an injury or pain that’s inhibiting their ability to move and exercise normally. Another common reason people need physiotherapy is for rehabilitation after a surgery, usually with a prescription from a doctor.
