What does IPAR mean in REHABILITATION

IPAR is an area of practice focused on preventing injuries, providing treatment for those who are already injured, and conducting research in order to better understand how injuries occur.

The goals of IPAR include reducing the risk for injury, helping individuals recover from their injuries, promoting healthful behaviors in order to avoid future injuries, encouraging participation in physical activities despite potential risks, and educating individuals about effective techniques for preventing injury.

IPAR works towards its goals by providing care that reduces physical impairments, improving mobility and managing pain, developing strength and endurance while maintaining joint integrity, optimizing occupational performance through education and therapeutic exercise programs, promoting proper nutrition to support healing processes, and providing an understanding of lifestyle changes that may be required after an injury.

Anyone who has experienced an injury or at risk for an injury can benefit from IPAR. This includes athletes aiming to prevent sports-related injuries as well as anyone with a personal or professional goal to remain physically active while avoiding harm or further damage due to existing conditions or prior trauma.

Services related to IPAR can be found at hospitals, rehabilitation centers, physical therapy clinics, sports medicine clinics, military bases and other health profession settings such as chiropractic offices. Additionally many organizations offer online resources where individuals can learn more about prevention strategies and find certified professionals who specialize in this field of practice.
