Vocational Rehabilitation
The simplest definition of vocational rehabilitation was described as “Whatever helps someone with a health problem to stay at, return to and remain in work”.
Upper Limb Evaluation / Assessments and Treatment
At RHP rehabilitation therapy emphasizes functional activity in training, and makes use of international research guidelines for the use of therapeutic tools and principles. Both the occupational therapist and physiotherapist need to assess the upper limb (UL) for possible return of function.
Spinal Cord Injury Interventions (Spinal Unit)
The back (vertebral column) consists of 24 vertebrae or bones, which is referred to by their region (e.g. cervical (C), thoracic (T), lumbar (L), and sacrum), and by number counting the bones in the region from their position to the head (i.e. C7 or T4). The sacrum and coccyx are seen as one bone, though there are 5 sacral nerve roots.
Physical Rehabilitation
Physical rehabilitation, is a discipline concerned with the evaluation, treatment, and coordination of care for persons with multiple musculoskeletal injuries, pain syndromes, and/or other neurological, physical, communicative and cognitive impairment and disabilities.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial Release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion. This important “time element” has to do with a low load (gentle pressure) applied through the skin slowly allowing the fascia to elongate.
