Upon admission you will be assessed by the doctors, the head nurse and the head of each department of the rehabilitation team who will work with you throughout your stay. The team will then design a recovery plan based on your needs, the goals of the team, as well as, the goals you and your family want to achieve. The recovery team will meet with the physiatrist at regular intervals, and at the weekly reassessment, your progress will be discussed and new goals will be set.

The first stage of physical rehabilitation is the Recovery Stage. This is the most important stage of the healing process and, depending on the severity of your injuries, it can be the longest. The goal of this first stage is simple: to recover and allow your body to begin the healing process. The length of time required for recovery and rehabilitation depends on the severity of the disease and the patient’s clinical condition.

It is also important to be as physically active as your condition allows.

After an injury, certain types of surgery, or a long stay in the ICU, as well as limitations caused by aging or other conditions, rehab may be needed to help restore your functions. Without an effective treatment plan, your recovery can take much longer, putting you at risk of not achieving optimal function.

The goal of rehabilitation is to regain strength, mobility and function. It helps you accomplish your daily activities (buttoning a shirt, going to the bathroom, cooking, etc.) with less/no discomfort and pain. To improve communication and social skills and build confidence for autonomous daily living. Basically, improving patients’ physical abilities and maximizing functionality with ADL (self-care) training.
