The Four Corners of Health

We do this by offering guidelines relating to evidence based exercise, nutritional, sleep and psychological techniques that have been shown to improve recovery from surgery. The strategies that we help you apply will differ through your recovery pathway, but whether you are in the pre-surgery rehabilitation stage, getting discharged from hospital or rehabilitating to return to everyday activity, the Four Corners of Health approach can help.
