About RG
RG Aktiv Rehabilitering is a non-profit organization that has helped thousands of people live better, more independent lives. It has also contributed to improved spinal cord injury care in Sweden and shared its methods and successes with many other countries.
Our Method
The Active Rehabilitation (AR) method emerged during the early years of our organization in the late 1970s. It is unique and distinguishes us from both healthcare institutions and other organizations. AR is the foundation of all activities at RG Aktiv Rehabilitering and is based on five simple cornerstones.
International Cooperation
Through international projects, RG Aktiv Rehabilitering has supported the establishment of similar organizations in many other countries.
The purpose of our international work is to share knowledge and experience in areas such as organizational development, outreach programs, and the Active Rehabilitation method. The goal is to support passionate individuals in newly founded organizations abroad, so they can continue to develop their structures and services.
Member Magazine – Kick
Kick is RG Aktiv Rehabilitering’s member magazine, distributed to members and other stakeholders. It communicates the essence of the Active Rehabilitation method – its goals and how to achieve them.
Research on Active Rehabilitation
Courses, camps, and programmes are central to the Active Rehabilitation approach – and they’ve proven to be highly effective. Everyone involved in RG Aktiv Rehabilitering’s activities has seen firsthand how well the method works. But beyond the anecdotal evidence, there is also solid scientific support. Over the years, several studies have examined how Active Rehabilitation is experienced, delivered, and evaluated in different countries and contexts. All research is planned, conducted, and analysed in close cooperation with the target group – and the knowledge is shared across borders.
