Our goal is for you to be pain free with your daily activities.

There are different approaches to how to set up care for the patient. Rehabilitation is more re-establishing/regaining the ability to perform a task that was lost/impaired. Habilitative is more for skills that have not yet learned/developed. Habilitative services are aimed to maintain a functional status and teach strategies to improve function for daily living, whereas rehabilitative services aim to prevent injury, maintain/return the ability to perform a skill that had been lost/impaired, and improve skills needed for daily activities.
