Our Rehabilitation Therapies team provides Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy to clients within the FHQTC communities, inpatients at All Nations’ Healing Hospital, or at our outpatient clinic. The team assists individuals in living health and more independent lives while experiencing health related barriers.
The team assesses home environments for equipment and accessibility, provides education on fall prevention and physical safety, provides rehabilitation services for people following injuries or surgery, and helping individuals leave the hospital to their own home environments safely.
The Rehabilitation Therapies program operates out of the File Hills Qu’Appelle Tribal Council Health Services, located at All Nations’ Healing Hospital in Fort Qu’Appelle.
What is Occupational Therapy? (OT)
Occupational Therapy helps you do the things you want to do at home, in the community, or at school despite having difficulties with your hands, arms, mobility, coordination, or sensory skills.
OT teaches you the skills and provides you with the tools to adapt and overcome new or existing challenges with movement.
OT looks at how physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual factors limit participation in meaningful occupations, and how these factors may contribute to wholistic health and maintaining balance.
What is Physical Therapy? (PT)
Physical Therapy helps you in rehabilitation following surgery, illness, injury, or long-term condition to help you restore your overall function and recovery. PT can help build confidence in mobility and improve physical fitness through a variety of interventions including but not limited to exercise.
PT encompasses physical, emotional, social, cultural, and spiritual factors in meaningful interaction, and how these factors may contribute to wholistic health.
PT can also build confidence in participating in various environments and aid in rehabilitation for new or chronic injury or disability.
