The goal of any rehabilitation is to helps minimize or slow down the disabling effects of health conditions affecting activities of daily living and functional abilities. Rehabilitation focuses on management of present symptoms, investigation of complications and providing clients assistance to improve their quality of life. An injury can be a highly traumatic event for any person, and the rehabilitation process is complex and must focus on the person as a whole. An injury by itself cannot be isolated from the person. At Massima Health we focus on comprehensive approach to multidisciplinary rehabilitation.
When assessing a client and preparing a care plan, our rehabilitation specialists are reviewing all components of client well being. This includes living arrangements & transportation, occupation & income status, psychosocial history (social history, education, employment & transferable skills, recreation & leisure activities, vocational rehabilitation), medical status (physical & psychological).
The What: What does the client suffer from?
What do they risk suffering from?
The Why: Why does the client suffer from this?
The How: How can we make this better?
