Rehabilitation

For clients to re-learn movement patterns to help them return to activities of daily living. Physiotherapy includes increasing balance for community mobility and exercises to increase energy and reduce fatigue. 

To train clients to regain independence in activities of daily living. It also focuses on developing their awareness to perform activities oriented towards interacting with the environment like caring for others, shopping, communication management and safety procedures and emergency response. In addition, therapists also work with clients on cognitive strategies to enhance their memory, attention and concentration.

To retrain and restore diminished communication functions. This is targeted toward clients with language, speech, underlying cognitive deficits and swallowing difficulties. Therapy teaches clients with Aphasia, a language disorder, different modes of communication to express themselves. This can be through drawing, facial expression or gesturing. For individuals with dysarthria, a speech sound disorder, therapy teaches them speech strategies to compensate for the reduced function. 

Applicants must be certified “fit for rehabilitation” by a Singapore-registered medical practitioner before they undergo an initial assessment.
