Getting better after an accident or injury is a long, hard process that will take a lot of time and effort on your part. You will need to learn how to use your body in different ways and re-learn skills that you used to take for granted. It will be frustrating and painful at times. But, your team is here to support you mentally and physically. The best way to get well is to follow your doctor’s instructions. Make sure you have a way to get to your appointments and to practice your home exercises. Follow-up care is also important, and your team will work with you to come up with a plan that works for you.
My Rehab Team aims to bring multi-disciplinary rehabilitation to patients who have experienced catastrophic injuries or severe neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, brain injury and other neurodegenerative diseases. The team provides a comprehensive approach to physical rehabilitation including specialist neurological physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology and a range of support services.
Our clinicians work in collaboration with your primary health care team and insurance company to ensure you receive the appropriate level of rehabilitation treatment. Our goal is to help you recover your full functional potential, while addressing any medical or emotional issues that may be associated with your rehabilitation.
Rehabilitation is a complex, time-consuming process, and it requires a multi-disciplinary team of professionals. Depending on the needs of each individual patient, the rehabilitation team can include a physiatrist (or neurologist) who directs the team, nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, dieticians, social workers, psychologists and peer support staff.
The nursing team monitors each patient’s vital signs and hydration, administers medications, and assists in daily tasks such as bathing and dressing. The nurses also play a key role in educating each patient about their condition and the steps they need to take to manage their symptoms.
