INJURY/ILLNESS
RECOVERY & REHAB
I have experience with many injuries, concussions, traumatic brain injuries, chronic pain, cancer, cardiac and respiratory conditions.
What is Recovery & Rehabilitation?
Recovery from injury or illness is not purely physical. Thoughts, emotions, stress, sleep, confidence and behaviour all influence recovery outcomes. Injury and illness can affect identity, independence, relationships, work, lifestyle and future plans. Adjustment involves learning to navigate changes while continuing to live a meaningful and fulfilling life.
Psychological rehabilitation focuses on supporting the mind-body connection during recovery.

-

Feel disconnected from your previous self
