When will I need Physiotherapy

6th July 2017

Physical, functional and psychosocial rehabilitation should be commenced immediately post injury to achieve the best outcome. However, Physiotherapy may also be helpful later in the recovery process. Usually, Physiotherapy has the greatest benefit in the first two years post burn injury.  However, for some individuals, in particular those who have sustained major burns or who have complex additional needs, the entire rehabilitation process may last for many years.
