About LHRC

Officially inaugurated in 2012, our first Laetitia Hatem Rehabilitation Center in Lebanon rapidly became a center of rehabilitation excellence providing physical, occupational, speech, pool and psychomotor therapy as well as psychological and social support.

Full rehabilitation care has been offered to hundreds of underprivileged children suffering from a multitude of conditions; spinal cord injuries, brain traumas, cerebral palsy, muscular & skeletal impairment, orthopedic traumas – this has allowed children patients supported by HCF Lebanon to regain autonomy and self-esteem, often leading to better access to education, better social inclusion, and a chance to have a professional career.

We aim to ensure that these children develop into independent and responsible members of their communities, and that they enjoy living a dignified life.

Our Programs

Physical therapy helps individuals improve their movement and manage pain through exercises, manual therapy, and various modalities. It is designed to restore function, enhance mobility, and prevent further injury.

Occupational therapy focuses on helping people develop, recover, or maintain daily living and work skills. It involves adapting environments and tasks to fit the individual’s needs, enabling them to lead more independent and satisfying lives.

Speech therapy addresses communication and swallowing disorders. Speech therapists work with individuals to improve their speech, language, cognitive-communication, and oral feeding skills.

Psychomotor therapy combines physical activity with psychological techniques to improve emotional and motor development. It is used to enhance coordination, self-regulation, and cognitive functions through structured movement activities.

Pool therapy, or aquatic therapy, involves exercises performed in water to help with rehabilitation and fitness. The floatiness and resistance of water make it an ideal environment for improving strength, flexibility, and range of motion while reducing stress on the body.

Psychological support provides emotional and mental health assistance through counseling and therapy. This service helps individuals cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, fostering overall well-being and resilience.
