About Us
Our core team stands strong, composed of two clinical psychologists, two physiotherapists & a rehab coach. To complement this foundation, we've established a community of professionals including an orthopaedic surgeon, medical doctor, social worker, and dietician/nutritionist.
What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to a comprehensive interdisciplinary approach, thoughtfully situated under one roof. This environment fosters the creation of a distinctive client community, one that is devoted to tackling the intricate complexities of persistent pain. Our approach meticulously examines the diverse physical, psychological, and social facets that deeply influence the well-being of our patients.
