Overview

One coordinated team, one plan for your care

Rehabilitation works best when several disciplines pull in the same direction. Our physiatrists (PM&R specialists) lead a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists and rehabilitation nurses who design a personalized program for each patient — whether the goal is recovering after joint or spine surgery, regaining function following a stroke or spinal cord injury, or returning to sport after an athletic injury. Progress is reassessed regularly and the plan adjusted as you improve.

International patients are supported by a dedicated coordinator from the first enquiry. Our specialists can review your reports, imaging and surgical or discharge summaries remotely to confirm that a rehabilitation program is appropriate and to outline realistic goals, and you receive a transparent cost estimate and an expected length of stay before you travel.
