Definition
康复 (kāng fù) specifically means 'to recover from illness or injury' and is clinical/medical in tone. It differs from the broader verb 恢复 (huī fù), which covers restoring anything (health, function, relationships, a previous state). Unlike 疗养 (liáo yǎng) or 休养 (xiū yǎng)—which emphasize resting for recovery—康复 often implies medical treatment or rehabilitation.
