Second-line rehabilitation: ECF and DCF

What is it?

After a workplace injury, a road accident or another event, some people need more intensive support to go back to their job. Second-line rehabilitation is designed for these situations, building on the care already received.

Our interdisciplinary team includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists (who also support mental health aspects), kinesiologists and doctors. The evaluation and the program are adapted to each person's needs and file.
