Rehabilitation research
Rehabilitation Services help people to reach their optimum health and quality of life by restoring their independence.
This enables each person to return to their normal lifestyle with maximum independence and community support. We achieve this through a focus on patient centred care from the treating team and involvement of your family and significant others in the rehabilitation process.
