At Active Care Group, we know that recovery is more than just physical; it's about rebuilding confidence, independence, and the life that makes each person who they are. Just ask Rob. After a traumatic brain injury, simple tasks like dressing and preparing a meal became overwhelming challenges. But with the dedicated support of our therapy team at Blackheath Brain Injury Rehabilitation Centre, he regained the ability to do the things that mattered most to him—taking back control of his daily life, reconnecting with his passions, and ultimately, rediscovering himself.
Stories like Rob's, and those of many others, remind us why we do what we do. Whether it's helping someone walk again, regain their independence at home, or even return to work, our Occupational Therapists play a crucial role in transforming lives.
