I think the termin-: ology of physiotherapy and Rehab is largely interchangeable, although Rehabilitation includes more things including occupational therapy, help with daily activities, etc. These things can really be done anywhere with the expert help of physical therapy and Rehab professionals. Discuss your progress with your care team and ask whether you might benefit from a more aggressive program. Good wishes:)
