WHAT IS REHABILITATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL CARE?
Rehabilitative and Functional Care program combines various techniques including strength, flexibility and agility training as well as training focused on the coordination of body parts and motion to prepare the individual to return to full participation. Previously it was applied to sports medicine only, but now this approach is also used to treat individuals returning to work or basic activities of daily living after suffering from a traumatic injury or neurological injury or detriments associated with ageing. Patient symptoms usually include:
- Neurological disease symptoms
- Spinal cord or brain injuries
- Decreased function due to surgery
