Morphology
The phrase is compositionally transparent: a B1 learner who knows 'therapeutic' (promoting healing) and 'rehabilitation' (treatment to regain function) can readily infer that it refers to rehabilitation with a therapeutic focus. The meaning follows standard noun-modifier composition and is cross-linguistically parallel, so it should be easily understandable from the constituents.
Etymology
Therapeutic rehabilitation joins therapeutic, meaning 'help that heals', and rehabilitation, meaning 'help to become able again'. Imagine someone doing exercises and getting care after an injury to learn to move and live better, and that's why it means 'treatment to help a person get back their abilities and live a better life'.
