Functional Rehabilitation

Functional rehabilitation is a type of physical therapy that focuses on restoring an individual's ability to perform daily activities, such as walking, standing, and climbing stairs, following an injury or surgery. It is designed to help individuals return to their normal level of function, reduce pain, and prevent further injury. The goal of functional rehabilitation is to help individuals regain their independence, mobility, and quality of life.

Functional rehabilitation programs usually consist of a combination of exercises, stretches, and other physical activities that are customized to meet the specific needs of each individual. The exercises are designed to strengthen the muscles, improve flexibility, and increase endurance. Stretching is also an important component of functional rehabilitation, as it helps to reduce muscle tension and promote flexibility.

​

In addition to physical exercises, functional rehabilitation may also include the use of assistive devices, such as crutches, walkers, or wheelchairs. These devices are used to help individuals safely perform daily activities and prevent further injury.

​

Functional rehabilitation is often performed under the guidance of a physical therapist or other medical professional. The therapist will assess the individual's abilities, goals, and physical limitations, and develop a personalized treatment plan that is tailored to their specific needs. Throughout the rehabilitation process, the therapist will monitor the individual's progress, make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan, and provide feedback and support.

Functional rehabilitation is an important aspect of recovery for individuals who have suffered from an injury or undergone surgery. By helping individuals regain their mobility and independence, it can improve their quality of life, reduce their risk of further injury, and increase their overall sense of well-being.
