Departments: Occupational
Therapy & Physiotherapy
Our Vision:
"To provide rehabilitation
services to people with disabilities or at risk of disabilities."
The team consists of 2 Physiotherapists, 1 Physiotherapy assistant and 2 Occupational
Therapists.
We treat a wide range of conditions including orthopaedics,
neurology respiratory diseases, sports injuries, paediatrics
and geriatrics. Intervention takes place on an individual level or in groups
(e.g. ante-natal and post-natal classes, chronic pain management, Mseleni
Joint Disease classes and classes for children with cognitive impairment and
cerebral palsy) as inpatients, outpatients, at residential clinics or at home
where necessary. We also hold monthly audiology,
speech therapy and prosthetics and orthotics
clinics. We support the local special school and integration of children with
disabilities into mainstream schools.
The workload is shared between team members and each one gets the opportunity
to cross traditional professional borders and learn more through role
expansion, striving to look holistically at each client.
On a district level the 5 hospitals support each other and do rehabilitation
planning together in collaboration with representatives from local Disabled
People Organisations.
