Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a variety of therapy services that help maximise recovery after brain injury. Every rehabilitation program is different because it is tailored to a person’s individual needs. Rehabilitation usually begins in the hospital and can continue after injury.

Here are some ideas on how to make the most of rehabilitation:

• Have a goal in mind: See each day as being closer to your goal
• Structure and routine: Good strategies for keeping routines rest the brain and help with rehabilitation
• Get family and friends involved: To help you feel encouraged and motivated
• Sleep and eat: Healthy eating and regular rest is great for your health and maintaining a positive attitude
• Whatever works for you: ‘Disability need not be an obstacle to success’ – Professor Stephen Hawking
