Greetings
The specialized staff of Rehabilitation Services Department work in collaboration with many other professionals to provide acute rehabilitation for a wide variety of illnesses and injuries. Our goal is not only to maximize recovery from illness or injury, but also to prevent secondary symptoms such as joint stiffness and muscle weakness caused by rest. Therefore, we begin rehabilitation as early as possible, aiming to help patients rebuild their lives and return to society in the best possible condition. Many of our patients experience significant anxiety shortly after the onset of their illness. Our staff strives daily to hone their interpersonal skills to empathize with these patients, while also utilizing their solid knowledge and skills to help them in any way they can. Above all else, the understanding and cooperation of patients and their families is essential for rehabilitation. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Rehabilitation Center.
