Clinics GRP Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation for post-hospital recovery, post-surgical recovery, reconditioning, complex mobility decline, and return-to-function goals.
Available care settings
Rehabilitation connects assessment, progression and review so recovery does not become a series of disconnected appointments.
Clinical approach
Identify the next functional goal. Build capacity progressively. Review what is changing.

How care is delivered
The pathway can move between home, clinic, community and supported care as strength, transport and confidence improve.
Where care happens
Continuity
Care can move between settings as mobility, confidence or support needs change.
Funding and access
Reviewing progress
Strength, mobility, tolerance and confidence are reviewed against the recovery priorities, with the pathway adjusted when progress slows or needs change.
Common concerns
Rehabilitation is often useful when recovery has slowed, function has declined or the next step after illness or injury is unclear.
First appointment
The first review establishes the main recovery priority, immediate safety needs and a practical progression plan.
Select a step to explore the detail.
The clinician identifies the main recovery priority before progressing care.

How to read this evidence
Evidence guides care but does not establish that a service is suitable for every person or guarantee an outcome. Assessment, goals, health conditions, functional capacity, consent and identified risks shape individual care.
