Post Hospital Rehab
What Is Post Hospital Rehab?
Post-hospital rehabilitation is a crucial recovery phase that aims to restore strength, function, mobility, and independence after a patient is discharged from hospital care due to surgery, illness, or injury. It begins with a thorough assessment with our Physiotherapist to determine the patient's physical capabilities and needs, which guides the customization of a rehabilitation plan. This plan often includes mobility and strength training to regain muscle mass and joint function, pain management techniques such as manual therapy and the use of heat or ice, and functional training in daily activities to ensure a safe return to independence. Additionally, patients receive education on their condition and self-management strategies to facilitate long-term recovery. Regular progress monitoring and adjustments to the therapy plan are also integral to achieving the best outcomes, allowing patients to resume their daily routines as effectively and independently as possible.
Benefits of Home Based Post Hospital Rehab
Comfort and Convenience
Recovery can be physically and emotionally taxing, and the ability to receive rehabilitation in the comfort and familiarity of one's own home significantly reduces stress and logistical challenges. Eliminating the need for regular transportation to a clinic not only conserves the patient's energy but also reduces exposure to potential infections, which is particularly important for those in a weakened state after hospitalisation.
Tailored Environment-Specific Training
Conducting rehabilitation in the home setting allows our physiotherapist to directly assess and integrate the patient’s actual living environment into the therapy. This enables the creation of personalized treatment plans that address real-world challenges. Our physiotherapist can recommend modifications to the home to enhance safety and effectiveness and tailor exercises to specific tasks and challenges that the patient encounters in their daily life.
Family Involvement and Support
Home-based rehab naturally facilitates greater involvement from family members, as they can observe sessions and learn from the physiotherapist about how best to support the patient's recovery. This involvement is crucial for reinforcing therapeutic exercises and practices consistently, enhancing the rehabilitation process. Family members can better understand the patient's needs and progress, contributing actively to their recovery journey.
