  • Spinal surgery
  • Complex orthopaedic injuries

Our team focuses on restoring mobility, strength, function and confidence.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

The role of the vestibular system is to sense self motion, orientate us to vertical, stabilise the head and control our centre of mass. People with vestibular dysfunction can present with dizziness, visual and balance disturbances, reduced mobility and anxiety. This can lead to reduced independence , decreased confidence to participate in social activities and social isolation.

Program structure

  • This program addresses both the immediate causes of dizziness and reduces the longer term consequences of living with dizziness such as decreased activity participation, deconditioning and falls.
  • It involves tailored specific exercise therapy targeting head and eye movements, balance and repeated exposure to provocative movements to desensitise the individual.
  • This program includes education and a review of the impacts of dizziness on quality of life and improves functional recovery.

Stroke Rehabilitation

At Eden Private Hospital, we understand that every stroke recovery journey is unique. That's why we tailor treatment plans to individual goals, abilities, and support needs.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Treatment may involve physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, exercise physiology and specialist medical oversight.

Trauma Rehabilitation

Our trauma rehabilitation services support patients recovering from complex injuries and extended hospital stays.

Treatment plans are tailored to individual recovery goals and may involve a combination of medical, nursing and allied health support.

Reconditioning

Preventing functional decline and improving physical capacity following significant medical illness (or general surgery) will ensure you retain the ability to manage safely in your own residence, and reduce the risk of further admission into hospital.

At Eden Private Hospital we understand that many different circumstances can lead to a decline in an individual's physical function, and their ability to cope in their own environment. As we age it is extremely common to experience increasing trouble recovering following general surgery, or medical illness such as urinary tract infection, cellulitis, or even just a cold or flu.

The rehabilitation team are well aware of these issues, and also how to treat and prevent them. We'll help you return to your own home, and reduce risk of further deterioration, as quickly and as safely as possible.
