LISTEN TO OUR PODCAST INTERVIEW ABOUT CANINE REHABILITATION:
BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL REHABILITATION
Physical Rehabilitation has been a vital component to the recover of human function, after injury, surgery and/or illness since WWI.
Today it is considered part of the standard of care to receive physical rehabilitation when the body has been compromised and function has been lost. Early intervention is the key to optimizing return to normal activity.
Benefits of initiating early physical rehabilitation:
•Improves circulation which accelerates healing
•Increases muscle mass and strength which improves balance and coordination
•Improves joint and soft tissue flexibility and mobility which increases ability to perform daily activities
-
•Minimizes or eliminates pain which may improve quality of life
-
•Increases speed of recovery
