 Understandably, everyone wants to recover as quickly as possible and return to their normal activities. A skilled team headed by a competent recovery coach can expedite your recovery by helping you obtain the best skilled and appropriate care. WHAT IS A RECOVERY COACH?
After an accident, you need a health-care professional who can analyze the damage to your body and either provide immediate relief or help you find those who can. A recovery coach is, most often (though not necessarily), an exceptionally knowledgeable provider who has affiliations with equally skilled, competent and diversified providers.
A recovery coach must have a broad base of knowledge to draw upon. Most importantly, they must be someone who you feel you can trust as a knowledgeable educator, whose sole purpose is to provide you with resources that will promote your speedy recovery.
They must be well versed in a wide variety of options specific to your condition and able to discuss the pros and cons of various choices available to you. They are your guide, cheering team and consultative coach, supporting you along each step of the way back to health The first step on this journey is to make sure you are working with a skilled and collaborative medical recovery team, no matter how small the injury is. Optimally, your team should be an independent group that stays connected with your progress. Working with an independent communicating team offers you significant advantages:
