General Reconditioning|Holroyd Private Hospital

The program aims:

Reconditioning is a process that aims to maximise your recovery and restoration of independence after illness or injury. This includes improving cardiovascular fitness, increasing endurance, improving general muscle strength and flexibility as well as improved self esteem and overall quality of life. Reconditioning is suitable for those who have been: Unwell, had any debilitating injury, have recently been bedridden, experienced reduced exercise capacity, limited in activities of daily living, or who are experiencing generalised weakness.

Who can benefit from this program?

Post-surgery: Following surgery, general reconditioning can help regain strength, improve flexibility, and restore mobility, facilitating a smoother recovery process.
Post-injury: Reconditioning can address muscle weakness, pain, and limitations in movement, promoting healing and a return to normal activities.
Hospitalisation: After a prolonged stay in the hospital, general reconditioning can help rebuild physical strength and endurance
De-conditioned individuals: For those who have been inactive for an extended period, general reconditioning offers a gradual and safe way to rebuild physical fitness, improve strength, and boost energy levels.
Older adults: Maintaining physical activity is essential for healthy aging, and general reconditioning programs can help older adults improve balance, strength, and flexibility, reducing the risk of falls and promoting independent living.
Individuals with sedentary lifestyles: If your job or daily routine involves minimal physical activity, general reconditioning can help counteract the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, reducing the risk of chronic health problems and improving overall well-being.

Our rehab consultant will then check in on you regularly to assess and measure your progress.

Exercise and Education: Our program includes personalised exercise therapy in our large open plan gym.
Expert, Multidisciplinary Team: Our program is led by rehab consultants, cardiac nurses and allied health professionals including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists and dietitians. We also have a social worker or discharge planner who helps to facilitate a smooth transition out of our care.

Inpatient rehabilitation is suitable for individuals who require medical coverage and nursing care, and involves a full time stay at our hospital. As an inpatient, you are provided with a structured environment that helps you to focus on your recovery with regular mealtimes, bedtimes and daily exercise sessions with allied health professionals. This also ensures that you are closely monitored and changes in your condition are addressed immediately.

We provide medical inpatient services to patients who:

Are unable to cope at home or have no one to care for them after hospitalisation, after a bout of illness, a fall or fracture or those unsteady on their feet
Are suffering a chronic illness and are in need of acute hospital care
Are in need of continuing IV antibiotics or wound care such as VAC dressings
Are not ready for rehabilitation, for example, those who are non-weight bearing or slow to heal
