What is short term physical rehab?
A short term rehab program provides various types of therapy for people who are recovering from surgery, illness or an accident. A patient receiving short term rehabilitation may be in the program for anywhere from a couple of days to several weeks.
Short term rehab programs enable patients to reach their maximum functionality and get back to their homes and their lives in the least possible amount of time. Patients may receive physical, occupational, and/or speech therapy from skilled therapists. These therapists are members of a team that also consists of physicians, nurses, social workers, and nutritionists. The team works with the patient and his/her family to create an individualized care plan.
