A coordinated part of care
What Is Rehabilitation After a Car Accident?
Accident rehabilitation is care designed to help restore movement, improve strength, reduce stiffness and improve function when those areas have been affected by injury.
It may support a safe return to daily activities, but not every patient needs rehabilitation. Recommendations should follow medical evaluation and clinical findings rather than replace them.
