Physiotherapy, rehabilitation, reablement, prevention, allied health – these are topics that we discuss often. When discussing rehabilitation and reablement, one can consider the stage of rehabilitation, as referred to the presentation of the illness.
Rehabilitation is important in all stages of the illness, whether it is acute, chronic, or preventative. In a world where inactivity is one of the leading causes of non-communicable diseases and an early death, health management is becoming an important part of rehabilitative and also prehabilitative means.
