Rehabilitation programs help people recovering from serious injury, illness or surgery regain their strength and/or mobility, relearn skills, and find new ways of doing things – ultimatelyfunctioning with the highest possible level of independence in their community of choice.
Rehabilitation often focuses on:
• Physical therapy to build strength, mobility and fitness
• Occupational Therapy to help with daily activities
• Management of pain
Commencing a rehabilitation program soon after surgery, injury or illness has many benefits - including reduced:
• Recovery time
• Pain and suffering
• Likelihood of hospital re-admission
• Level of injury impairment, and
a quicker and safer return to the home environment.
Each person’s needs and therapy objectives are different. As such, our rehabilitation team works with each patient and their family to design a personalised therapy program with individualgoals and objectives.
You are an active member of your rehabilitation team. As such, a substantial part of your day at Eden will be spent engaging in various forms of therapy and/or exercise. Your participation is vital to achieving your program goals.
