Rehabilitation- The Key to Independence Rehabilitation means reshaping lives and restoring lost abilities after an illness or injury. It means treating the whole person - physically, emotionally and socially. In rehabilitation, the goal is to return people to their optimum level of function and open the door to a better quality of life.
