What Is Rehabilitation?

Rehabilitation is a comprehensive and personalised therapeutic approach designed to help individuals recover from injury, illness, surgery, or chronic conditions. It focuses on restoring function, improving mobility, reducing pain, and enhancing physical and mental well-being.

Through targeted exercises, manual therapies, education, and emotional support, rehabilitation aims to maximise independence, promote healing, and improve overall quality of life. Whether recovering from surgery or managing a long-term condition, the goal is always the same: to help each patient live a healthier, more active, and more comfortable life.
