Physiotherapy led rehabilitation is a clinically and cost effective intervention for those patients whose life has been adversely changed by injury, illness or disease.
Physiotherapy rehabilitation aims to optimise patient function and well being, to help integrate that patient back into their chosen lifesty le activities whether at home, work or leisure. Rehabilitation can be used for recovery from injury or disease and also for the management of long-term conditions (e.g. Parkinsons and MS). Rehabilitation should start as soon as possible to speed recovery. The programs that combine many different components are likely to be most effective.
