Wellness Centre Day Rehabilitation at St Andrew’s
For many patients, the journey to recovery continues long after they leave hospital. At St Andrew’s Toowoomba Hospital’s Wellness Centre, the Day Rehabilitation Program helps patients rebuild strength, confidence and independence following surgery, illness, injury or medical treatment.
Specialised support for every recovery journey
Led by rehabilitation physicians Dr Juan Rois Gnecco and Dr Poch Malte, the program provides personalised rehabilitation for patients recovering from orthopaedic surgery, cancer treatment, cardiac events, neurological conditions and other acute medical illnesses.
Whether a patient is preparing for a joint replacement, recovering from spinal surgery, rebuilding strength after cancer treatment, or managing the effects of stroke or deconditioning, the focus remains the same: helping them return to everyday life safely and confidently.
A multidisciplinary approach
Each patient receives an individualised rehabilitation plan tailored to their goals. Programs may include physiotherapy, exercise physiology, occupational therapy, dietetics, speech pathology, psychology and social work, with regular specialist reviews to monitor progress and optimise outcomes.
Delivered in a supportive outpatient setting, rehabilitation programs run twice a week for six weeks, helping patients improve mobility, endurance, balance, functional independence and overall wellbeing.
Referrals welcome
The Wellness Centre Day Rehabilitation Program accepts referrals from GPs, specialists and inpatient teams, supporting patients across a broad range of rehabilitation needs.
