How can we help?

The therapist will visit the workplace and provide any changes possible to immediately improve the worker's comfort. Any education and/or stretches that may help are also provided.  A report is then generated with any further recommendations.  The employer should be involved during the visit as well as the worker in order to assist with the implementation of any recommendations.
