Our team of highly skilled, (let’s be real, AMAZING, BRILLIANT, FUN), Allied Health Assistants are in high demand – for good reason.

Allied Health Assistants bring a whole new level to your rehab and therapy experience. Yes, economically they are cheaper, but regardless of cost, the value they bring is immeasurable!

Working collaboratively with you and your BBR therapists, AHA’s are able to provide a more intensive and targeted approach, ensuring you get the best outcomes possible!

If your in the pool, or on land – home, the park of a gym, Our AHA’s are always ready to meet you (sometimes even with Ernie or Wombat – our beautiful therapy dogs!)

Due to legal requirements, insurances and governing regulations, our Allied Health Assistants can only be accessed by active BBRehab Clients, who have an active BBRehab Therapist (OT, Physio, Speech, EP).

Its not a bribe to get you in, HONESTLY, However, if you are interested in discussing options for AHA’s or how we integrate our therapy dogs, your always welcome to get in touch here!
