With over 30 years of national and international experience as an Occupational Therapist, Jennifer’s practice focuses on clients regaining function and maximising recovery to return to what is important in their lives.
This includes recovery for work, sport and leisure, family roles and functions, as well as social and emotional wellbeing.
Pain is complex. Understanding pain, and all that goes into making up the pain experience is the starting point to taking control. Jennifer also works with clients with many different types of pain and, together with their medical team, they work to turn down the “volume” of their pain and move towards a happier and more meaningful life. Client collaboration and participation is critical to all excellent outcomes.
