Even the simplest injuries or illness can have a big impact on a person’s home and work life and can involve very complex rehabilitation. There are often many people that have an active interest in an injured person’s rehabilitation, including the injured person, the treating doctors, allied health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, dieticians and podiatrists, as well as the person’s employer and insurer.
