Post-Rehab Continuity Program
For some patients, the most important phase of care begins at discharge. The Post-Rehab Continuity Program provides guided recovery sessions that maintain the gains achieved during specialty rehabilitation — and reduce the risk of regression.

Who Benefits From This Program
This program is appropriate for patients who have completed a course of specialty rehabilitation at IPC and have been evaluated for continuing care needs.
Candidacy is determined by your specialist — not self-selected. Not every patient requires this program, and eligibility is based on clinical assessment at discharge or re-evaluation.
Patients with chronic lymphedema who require continued guided support to maintain limb volume control and prevent acute flare-ups after completing CDT.
Cancer survivors who have completed active rehabilitation but benefit from continued guided movement and circulation support during the survivorship phase.
Patients with healed wounds who benefit from continued mobility and tissue recovery support to reduce recurrence risk.
Patients with chronic venous insufficiency or circulatory conditions that require ongoing therapeutic support beyond the active rehabilitation phase.
Patients recovering from hospitalization or major surgery who need guided progression to restore movement confidence and reduce fall risk.
Program Goals
The Post-Rehab Continuity Program is designed to extend and protect the outcomes achieved during specialty rehabilitation. Goals are individualized and reviewed at each session.
Preserve the clinical gains — limb volume reduction, functional range, wound closure, mobility — achieved during the active rehabilitation phase.
Proactive, supervised support reduces the likelihood of symptom return, acute flare-ups, and secondary complications that often follow unguided discharge.
Patients recovering from complex conditions often experience anxiety around movement. Guided sessions build confidence in a clinically supervised environment.
Ongoing supportive manual therapy and circulation-focused interventions help maintain lymphatic flow, tissue pliability, and systemic recovery.
Regular guided sessions reduce the frequency and severity of acute exacerbations in chronic conditions like lymphedema and venous insufficiency.
What Guided Recovery Sessions May Include
Session content is determined by your clinical history and specialist review. Not all modalities apply to every patient.
Guided Functional Strengthening
Clinically supervised mobility and functional movement appropriate to your recovery phase — not fitness training.
Low-Level Laser Therapy
Photobiomodulation to support tissue recovery, lymphatic function, and wound-healing maintenance where clinically indicated.
Shockwave Therapy
Acoustic pressure therapy to address scar tissue, chronic pain, and circulation support in appropriate cases.
Supportive Manual Therapy
Manual lymphatic drainage, myofascial release, and tissue mobilization to support circulation and tissue recovery.
Mobility Confidence Training
Guided functional movement progression that rebuilds confidence in activities of daily living and reduces fear of flare-up.
Balance and Stability Support
Supervised balance and proprioception work for patients with post-hospital deconditioning or neurological complications.

Clinical Authority Throughout
The Post-Rehab Continuity Program is developed and overseen by the clinical team at Integumentary Physiotherapy Clinic.
Recovery support sessions may be delivered by the designated recovery support therapist under direct specialist oversight. All session plans, progressions, and clinical decisions remain under the authority of the supervising specialist. This structure ensures that continuity care is clinically grounded — not generalized wellness programming.

Eligibility and Clinical Fit
Participation is based on clinical appropriateness and recovery goals identified during evaluation or discharge planning.
Ask Whether the Continuity Program Is Right for You
If you have completed specialty rehabilitation at IPC, ask your specialist whether the Post-Rehab Continuity Program is an appropriate next step for your recovery.
