At Nova Scotia Health, rehabilitation and restorative care professionals may include physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and recreational therapists, among others.
These professionals focus on helping patients regain functional abilities, mobility, and independence following illness, injury, or surgery.
They assess patients' physical, cognitive, and emotional needs and develop personalized treatment plans to address deficits and maximize recovery. They provide hands-on therapy, exercises, and interventions to improve strength, flexibility, coordination, and cognitive skills.
By fostering a supportive and encouraging environment, rehabilitation and restorative care professionals empower patients to achieve their rehabilitation goals and regain quality of life within the hospital environment.
