Helping individuals recover from mobility issues and functional decline that stem from surgery or medical conditions.
Stroke, surgery, or major medical conditions may impact an individual’s ability to independently perform basic tasks like standing, walking, showering, and doing housework.
Physical therapy improves mobility and encourages activities and lifestyle changes that can enhance overall health and well-being.
The DRC provides a continuum of care for adults and seniors to help them regain, maintain, and optimise their ability to perform basic tasks such as dressing and eating.
Our team of occupational therapists and physiotherapists at the DRC can help seniors gain better core muscle strength and balance through therapy.

After a comprehensive assessment, your therapist will discuss the findings with you. Based on your goals and priorities, we’ll customise an intervention programme.
This may include assisting you in transitioning from a walking frame to a walking stick, using assistive devices for daily tasks, improving steady walking over longer distances, navigating overhead bridges comfortably, and safely managing roadside curbs.
