Nothing happens in isolation.
Following an initial interview, an appointment can be arranged so that your needs can be assessed and the things you want to work on agreed. A plan is formulated after an analysis of the test results.
Interventions can be for the individual, the family, and an employer when a phased return to work is in the best interests off all parties. We strive to help you improve your quality of life, achieve your goals, and support your best possible life - your new you.
