Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation
The Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (PMR) at KIMSHEALTH is dedicated to restore function, independence and quality of life for people affected by illness, injury or disability. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with patients and their families to help them regain abilities, adapt to challenges and have a more meaningful life.
Rehabilitation focuses on helping each person reach their highest potential - physically, emotionally, socially, and vocationally. Every program is individualized to meet their unique needs and often includes:
- Addressing the underlying condition and preventing complications
- Improving abilities and reducing disability
- Providing assistive devices and environmental modifications
- Supporting patients and families in adjusting to new life changes
We begin rehabilitation at the earliest possible, especially in conditions such as brain injury, stroke, spinal cord injury and trauma to maximize body’s healing potential and improve recovery outcomes.
With cutting-edge technologies, patient-centric philosophy and a team of skilled professionals, we aim not only to restore health but also preserve dignity, support caregivers and help every individual reintegrate into their family and community with confidence.
Our ultimate goal is to enable every person to live life to its fullest
