What Can You Expect?

Friendly, Positive Approach
All of the rehabilitation professionals working at Active Rehab are passionate about rehab and delivering the very best for their clients. We work in a positive, can-do way with a focus on getting out and about in the local community and using your usual activities and social supports. We want for our clients what we would want for ourselves; effective rehabilitation from people who understand us.
Rehabilitation:
Our focus is on rehabilitation rather than treatment. Rehabilitation sets you up to regain independence in everyday activities and helps you to manage your unique situation. This usually happens after or towards the end of the treatment process. Our focus is to provide you with the knowledge and skills to live a life of quality, independence and meaning, participating in the tasks and roles that are important to you.
What Will Happen?
Once we receive a referral to provide you with a service, the right health professional will contact you to make an appointment to start the rehab process. Team members will often see you in your home, school or workplace so they can see how your injury has impacted on your usual activities. Occasionally they may arrange to see you in a clinic or a local community room if that is more suitable.
The Active Rehab Ltd team will provide you with education, strategies and support to understand and manage your injury and achieve your identified goals. They may take you to a gym, pool or other local facility if that is an appropriate way to meet your rehab goals. These rehab programmes are a valuable opportunity for you to take charge of your recovery and return to participation.
Meeting Your Goals:
As the person living with the injury, you are the most important member of the team. Rehabilitation Professionals work with you to identify what your particular goals are and what type of rehabilitation programme will work best for you. The team will then empower you to achieve these goals.
The interdisciplinary approach means that the Active Rehab Ltd team works closely together ensuring that your goals are always the focus of the overall programme. They communicate regularly to ensure the most appropriate interventions are delivered to you in a way that best meets your needs. For example you may benefit from working with a few team members at one time or individual and staged intervention may be more effective for you, depending on your individual situation.
