Rebound’s Physiotherapists use Exercise to support people diagnosed with Schizophrenia
How Physiotherapy Supports People with Schizophrenia
Key Takeaways:
Physiotherapy at Rebound Health is tailored to each individual's needs, improving physical health and mental well-being.
Our clinic-based approach offers access to specialised equipment and technology, ensuring a safe and supportive environment.
Rebound Health’s multidisciplinary team integrates physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and occupational therapy for comprehensive care.
We provide seamless access to multiple services in one location, enhancing your overall experience.
Schizophrenia and Physiotherapy: Schizophrenia can significantly impact both mental and physical health. Symptoms like fatigue, reduced motivation, and motor difficulties may make it challenging to maintain an active lifestyle. At Rebound Health, we understand that each person's journey with schizophrenia is unique, which is why we offer individualised physiotherapy programs designed to improve mobility, strength, and overall well-being.
Benefits of Physiotherapy for People with Schizophrenia:
Improved Physical Health: Regular physiotherapy helps strengthen muscles, improve balance, and increase endurance. This can reduce the risk of falls, enhance mobility, and encourage independence in daily activities.
Mental Health Support: Exercise has been shown to positively affect mental health by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, which often co-occur with schizophrenia. Our physiotherapists work alongside our mental health practitioners to ensure a holistic approach.
Routine and Structure: Physiotherapy can provide a sense of structure, offering individuals a regular routine that contributes to overall stability and consistency in life.
Increased Confidence and Independence: As strength, balance, and mobility improve, so does self-confidence. This leads to greater independence, making daily tasks easier to manage.
