Within this page you will find self-help strategies and links to websites that contain self-help information.
It is important to note that whilst we fully encourage patients to play an active part in their own therapy, you must be aware of any contra-indications. Your therapist will advise you of tasks that would not be suitable for you, as everyone has different abilities. Please make sure you communicate with your therapist if you are still open to the service regarding tasks that you are completing on your own.
