Overview

Intercare Newlands Physical Rehabilitation Hospital is located at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa (SSISA) in Newlands, Cape Town. We provide specialised rehabilitation for various conditions, including stroke and neurological recovery, orthopaedic rehabilitation following joint replacements or fractures, cardiac and post-critical care recovery, sports injury rehabilitation, pain management with functional movement training, and specialised care for complex needs.

Our hospitals deliver world-class acute and sub-acute care for patients requiring intensive, hospital-based rehabilitation following severe injuries, complex medical conditions, or major surgeries. We focus on restoring function, maximising independence, and improving quality of life for patients with debilitating conditions such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury.

Patients benefit from an inter-disciplinary care team that includes a resident doctor, case manager, social worker, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, psychologists and dietitians. In addition, radiology and pathology services are available -all under one roof.

Personalised expert physical rehabilitation plans are designed for each patient, ensuring maximum functionality and recovery. Extended family visiting hours further enhance the recovery process.
