Tailored rehabilitation service to help people in the community.
Overview
Our team comprises of Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Therapy Assistants. We offer assessment, advice and tailored rehabilitation to people who have a health-related illness, injury or long term condition to help recover their health, cope with chronic conditions and slow the progress of degenerative disease.
We deliver a time limited course of rehabilitation to reach agreed personalised goals to improve independence and safety with everyday activities. This may include the provision of a home exercise programme, the provision of adaptive equipment, advice and education around a condition and signposting to help support you in managing your own condition.
We recognise that people can have multiple needs and several services and disciplines working collaboratively to meet these. As a service we work in partnership with our community colleagues in health and social care for the best outcome for the individual and to enable them to reach their goals.
