Elkton Physical Therapy
Rehabilitation is the process of restoration of lost capabilities or a treatment used to heal a person's body. It helps individuals with physical, mental, cognitive or sensory disabilities to become self-sufficient and productive. Therapeutic rehabilitation programs are aimed at helping people with disabilities respond to social and personal challenges, plan careers and engage in meaningful employment.
Therapeutic rehabilitation programs are highly individualized treatments consisting of therapeutic exercises, manual therapeutic techniques and guidelines for progressive return to their prior level of activity. Patient education and home exercise instruction are used to promote long term results. These rehabilitation programs are not the same for every patient. They change according to the patient's physical and mental conditions, age of the patient, level of disability and more.
To increase independence and expedite recovery, usually individual therapeutic programs based on occupational therapy, physical therapy, pain management, podiatry, dietetics, consultative medical service, neurology, chiropractic care and speech and language pathology are used. Acupuncture, orthotics and massage can also be used as therapies for rehabilitation programs. These programs are also supplemented with group sessions, home programs and community reintegration activities. Exercises such as stretching, strengthening and cardiovascular exercises also constitute an important part of therapeutic rehabilitation programs.
