AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Our areas of research and treatment development focus on diseases and conditions that affect mobility and activity.
What is Mobility?
Mobility describes the movement of a person’s body. How mobile we are affects how we interact with the world and the activities we do in our daily life. Activities from getting out of bed or walking up stairs, to gardening or taking walks in a park. Mobility is a precious gift that can be taken away by injury, illness and/or age. The loss of mobility can seriously harm a person’s quality of life.
