Tertiary Prevention

Rehabilitation, while a treatment modality, can also be considered as tertiary prevention. Strategies to help minimize complications and facilitate optimum recovery from an illness, may include both medical and education approaches.

Successful utilization of such methods can help prevent the recurrence of an illness and improve one’s functional ability. Counseling and practicing healthy eating are examples of tertiary preventive approaches.
