Talk to us
During your initial consultation you will be evaluated by a multidisciplinary team, this will include a consultant in rehabilitation medicine, physiotherapist and prosthetist. Depending on your individual needs, you may also be seen by our occupational therapists. Our Rehabilitation Consultant will begin with a comprehensive review of your medical history and current medications to understand your health background fully. Following this, the team will conduct a physical and functional assessment to further inform our recommendations for treatment. You will receive a detailed report outlining our assessment findings, and we will make sure receive the information you need throughout the process. Through this collaborative approach we aim to empower you to make informed decisions about your care.
