Rehabilitation Tips

  • Involve family in rehabilitation
  • Be consistent with home exercises

How to Prepare for Rehabilitation

Before Your Visit

  • Bring all medical records — hospital discharge summary, imaging, and surgical notes
  • List all current medications, including pain medications and doses
  • Note your functional abilities — what you can and cannot do independently
  • Identify your rehabilitation goals — what activities matter most to you for return to normalcy

During the Appointment

  • Participate actively in all therapy sessions — effort determines outcomes
  • Communicate pain honestly — rehabilitation should be challenging but not agonising
  • Involve family in rehabilitation — they need to learn transfer techniques and home exercises
  • Set weekly goals with the rehabilitation team and track progress

After the Visit

  • Continue home exercise programmes prescribed by the rehabilitation team
  • Use assistive devices as recommended — don't abandon them prematurely
  • Attend follow-up appointments to adjust the rehabilitation programme
  • Join support groups — connecting with others who have similar conditions improves motivation and mental health

  2. 2.How long will rehabilitation take?
  3. 3.What will the rehabilitation team include?
  4. 4.Can I manage my pain without opioids?
  5. 5.What assistive devices or home modifications do I need?
  6. 6.Are there vocational rehabilitation options?
