Adapt and overcome limitations: It involves not only helping individuals adjust but also making changes to their environment to support them, such as installing grab rails.
Improve overall health and well-being: Rehabilitation focuses on the whole person, including physical, mental, and emotional health, to help them live a happier and more fulfilled life.
Prevent further disability: By providing early interventions, rehabilitation can minimize the long-term impact of a health condition.
