Rehabilitation is a holistic and patient-centred approach to restoring physical, mental, and functional well-being following injury, illness, or surgery. In the context of physical therapy, rehabilitation aims to optimize the recovery process by addressing impairments, promoting mobility, and enhancing overall quality of life. The rehabilitation process typically begins with a comprehensive assessment, where healthcare professionals evaluate the individual's current status, functional limitations, and specific rehabilitation goals. In physical rehabilitation, tailored exercise programs play a pivotal role. These programs incorporate a variety of therapeutic exercises designed to improve strength, flexibility, balance, and coordination. The exercises are selected based on the individual's needs, and their progression is carefully monitored to ensure a gradual and safe recovery. Therapists often use manual techniques, such as joint mobilizations and soft tissue mobilizations, to complement exercise interventions and enhance the effectiveness of the rehabilitation process.
