Rehabilitation Therapies
Our Rehabilitation Therapies team provides Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT) to clients within the FHQTC communities, inpatients at All Nations’ Healing Hospital, and at our outpatient clinic. The team assists individuals in living healthy and more independent lives while experiencing health related barriers.
The team assesses home environments for equipment and accessibility, provides education on fall prevention and physical safety, provides rehabilitation services for people following injuries or surgery, and helping individuals leave the hospital to their own home environments safely.
The Rehabilitation Therapies program operates out of FHQ Health Services, located at All Nations’ Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Appelle.
What is Occupational Therapy (OT)?
Occupational Therapy supports you to engage in activities at home, in the community, or at school despite having difficulties with your physical or cognitive function, mobility, coordination, or sensory skills.
OT teaches you skills and provides you with the tools to adapt and overcome new or existing challenges with movement.
OT looks at how physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual factors improve participation in meaningful occupations, and how these factors may contribute to wholistic health and maintaining balance.
What is Physical Therapy (PT)?
Physical Therapy helps you in rehabilitation following surgery, illness, injury, or long-term condition to help you restore your overall function and recovery. PT can help build confidence in mobility and improve physical fitness through a variety of interventions including exercise, manual techniques, and education.
PT encompasses physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual factors in meaningful interaction, and how these factors may contribute to wholistic health.
PT can also support return to pre-injury function to participate in various environments despite new or chronic injury or disability.
