Hull and East Riding Community Rehabilitation
Our Community Rehabilitaion service provides Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy assessment and treatment of patients who have a rehabilitation need due to a physical or neurological condition.
We work with people who have long term conditions, illness or injury, and aims to optimise people’s function and independence, and to prevent deterioration where possible. Our aim is to help you do the things that matter to you, stay as independent as possible, and prevent problems getting worse where we can.
How we support you
You may be supported by a Physiotherapist, an Occupational Therapist, an Associate Practitioner, or a combination of the three. They will take time to talk with you about your situation and carry out an assessment to understand your needs.
Support may include:
- Advice and guidance to help you manage your condition yourself
- Rehabilitation exercises or programmes
- Support to build confidence and skills for everyday activities, such as moving around safely or managing daily tasks
Where appropriate, we also work with your family or carers to help you achieve your goals and take part in everyday life.
What to expect
- You can refer yourself online here, or you may be referred by another healthcare professional, such as your GP.
- Once we receive your referral, the team will review it (this is called triage) to decide who is best to support you.
- Your first assessment is usually by phone. We will send you a text message or email with a booking link, so you can choose an appointment time that suits you.
- After your assessment, rehabilitation may take place in a clinic or in your own home, depending on your needs and goals, such as progression in mobility, transfers and independence.
