The Road to Recovery

Your rehabilitation is designed to improve your ability to function in your daily life. You’ll learn techniques to manage your daily activities and your team will help identify ways for you to return to meaningful living. While rehabilitation is uniquely designed for each individual, in general, you’ll learn ways to compensate for any impairments as well as ways to prevent future injury.

You may learn ways to adapt to changes in your level of function and other strategies for a more active, healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to help you regain or maintain your independence and enable you to fully participate in your community.
