Abstract
Tertiary treatment is appropriate for chronically disabled patients requiring physician-directed, intensive, interdisciplinary team rehabilitation with multiple professionals on site and available for treatment of all patients. We review the fundamental features of one such therapeutically effective form of tertiary treatment - Functional Restoration. This approach focuses on the quantification of function in order to monitor physical deconditioning-reconditioning, as well as emphasizing the importance of dealing with psychosocial and socioeconomic risk factors for disability. A discussion of how this is accomplished is provided.
