Life-Changing and catastrophic injuries, such as severe traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and multiple fractures, often result in life-changing impairments. At iPS Physiotherapy, we provide specialised rehabilitation services designed to help individuals recover from these serious injuries. Our team of expert physiotherapists offers a comprehensive, tailored rehabilitation programme aimed at improving functional independence, promoting mobility, and enhancing quality of life for patients recovering from life-Changing and catastrophic injuries.
Our specialist Musculoskeletal / Orthopaedic, Neurological and Paediatric Physiotherapists are experts in assessing patients with multiple injuries / complex needs, providing professional reports and then implementing the appropriate rehabilitation programmes. We work closely with personal injury solicitors, insurance companies and case managers to provide bespoke rehabilitation to individuals following Catastrophic & life-changing injuries.
We work closely with individuals to help them achieve the best possible recovery. During the early stages of rehabilitation, most of the rehabilitation will take place in our specialist rehabilitation clinics, swimming pools and gyms so that we can use our specialist hi-tech equipment, to help the individual regain basic strength and function.
Catastrophic injury rehabilitation is a multi-disciplinary approach that involves intensive physical therapy, occupational therapy, and psychological support. Our physiotherapists work closely with other healthcare professionals to address the complex physical and emotional challenges that come with severe injuries. Rehabilitation aims to restore as much function as possible, manage pain, prevent complications, and help patients adapt to new limitations. This process is individualized, with a focus on helping the patient achieve independence and improve their overall well-being.
As soon as we possibly can, we progress the rehabilitation to the environments which fits in with the goals and aspirations of the individual. This ethos takes us to a wide variety of locations, and we observe time and time again, how this improves the individuals psychological well-being as well as their physical function.
The above photos were taken following a sea swim at Porthcawl. The 2 individuals being treated (on the right in the 1st image) were severely injured as a result of being knocked off bicycles by cars. Prior to their accident, they were keen triathletes, so they were highly motivated to get in the open water. The treating physiotherapists are our most experienced physiotherapists. The patients not only benefitted from the treatment session and being reintroduced to the environment, but also, as you can see from the photo, everyone enjoyed the session.
The above photos were taken during a group rehab session on the 'Big Dipper' at Merthyr Mawr (the 2nd largest sand dune in Europe). It is a gruelling climb, but the view from the top is well worth the effort. The sense of achievement for individuals who have managed to make it to the top is huge. It's a lot easier on the way back down!
As well as having excellent hands-on treatment skills, Gareth has expert knowledge of strength and conditioning which he utilises to maximise the recovery of his patients. He attends regular courses and conferences with world renowned physiotherapists to ensure he is using the most up-to-date evidence-based practice.
The goal is to help individuals recover as much function as possible, manage pain, and regain independence in daily activities. Rehabilitation focuses on improving movement, strength, and mobility, as well as addressing any emotional or psychological challenges that may arise.
The duration of rehabilitation depends on the severity of the injury, the patient’s progress, and the specific goals set in the treatment plan. Some patients may require several months or even years of rehabilitation to regain function, while others may make quicker progress. Your physiotherapist will work with you to set realistic goals and a timeline.
Yes, home rehabilitation is available for certain patients who are unable to attend the clinic. Our physiotherapists can create a tailored rehabilitation plan that can be carried out in the home, with ongoing support and guidance.
We want to ensure that all of our patients receive the information they need to make an informed decision about their treatment. If you have any questions or if you require assistance with anything, please let us know.
