Short Term Rehabilitation 101

After experiencing a stroke, prolonged hospitalization, joint replacement, major surgery or other traumatic physical decline, short term rehabilitation can be an essential part of getting back on your feet. It can be frustrating to feel uncomfortable inside the body that was once invincible.
