In-Patient Programs
Mayo Private Hospital provides a comprehensive range of inpatient rehabilitation programs, delivered by an expert clinical team, to achieve the best possible clinical outcomes for our patients.
All our staff are committed to helping you to return to normal living and activities after major surgery or illness. We have a well-equipped gymnasium, hydrotherapy pool and an independent living assessment area where you can practise the skills you need to manage at home.
Our specialised in-patient rehabilitation services include Orthopaedics, Neurological, Reconditioning and Trauma.
Orthopaedic
Following joint replacement, surgery after fracture, or severe cases of osteoarthritis it is normal to experience a decline in function and self confidence. Our orthopaedic program is designed not only to prevent this decline, but improve your capacity beyond your previous limitations.
If you have trouble with your knees, hips, back, following surgery, or any another orthopaedic condition that is negatively effecting your activities of daily life, Mayo Private's orthopaedic rehabilitation team will help get you back in shape.

Reconditioning
Preventing functional decline and improving physical capacity following significant medical illness (or general surgery) will ensure you retain the ability to manage safely in your own residence, and reduce the risk of further admission into hospital.
At Mayo Private we understand that many different circumstances can lead to a decline in an individual's physical function, and their ability to cope in their own environment. As we age it is extremely common to experience increasing trouble recovering following general surgery, or medical illness such as urinary tract infection, cellulitis, or even just a cold or flu.
The Rehabilitation team are well aware of these issues, and also how to treat and prevent them. We'll help you return to your own home, and reduce risk of further deterioration, as quickly and as safely as possible.
