Reconditioning is often needed when a person has experienced a significant decline in physical or functional abilities due to various factors. Common causes include:
- Injury or Surgery: After an injury or surgical procedure, reconditioning helps patients regain strength, mobility, and function that may have been lost during recovery.
- Chronic Illness: Conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), heart disease, or diabetes can lead to decreased physical function over time. Reconditioning aims to improve overall fitness and manage symptoms.
- Hospitalisation: Prolonged hospital stays, particularly for serious illnesses or surgeries, can lead to physical deconditioning. Reconditioning helps patients recover their pre-hospitalisation level of function.
- Neurological Conditions: Disorders like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis can impair physical abilities. Reconditioning focuses on improving motor skills, balance, and coordination.
- Age-Related Decline: Older adults may experience decreased strength and mobility due to aging. Reconditioning programs address these changes to enhance functional independence and quality of life.
- Muscle Atrophy: Prolonged immobility, bed rest, or lack of physical activity can cause muscle weakening. Reconditioning involves exercises and activities to rebuild muscle strength and endurance.
- Mental Health Issues: Conditions such as depression or anxiety can lead to physical inactivity. Reconditioning may include physical activity components to improve overall well-being and motivation.
- Post-Traumatic Recovery: Recovery from traumatic events, including accidents or severe health crises, often involves reconditioning to regain physical capabilities and restore confidence in daily activities.
Our reconditioning programs are tailored to address these specific needs, helping patients regain their physical capabilities, improve their functional status, and enhance their overall quality of life.
