What is rehabilitation and recuperation?

Rehabilitation and recuperation is the period spent recovering from illness or injury, when someone works towards returning to their former health or physical state.Your doctor or surgeon will advise you on the best way to do this; for illness, this might include certain foods or supplements, an exercise plan, or techniques to relax and relieve physical tension. Recovery after surgery may include any of these things, as well as prescribed pain medication, physical therapy or exercises relevant to the affected area, wound care if necessary, or temporary bed rest.The advice you will receive will be personalised to your situation, so make sure that you follow it closely.
