PROFESSIONAL REHABILITATION

Who professional rehabilitation is for and its objectives

Professional rehabilitation is intended for those with an illness accident or injury that will cause a disability in the coming years, or substantially reduce your work and earnings. Professional rehabilitation is designed to allow you to continue working for jobs that are suited to your work ability or to return to work after a long period of sick leave.
