Free To Be
 

Free to Be™ Rehabilitation Consulting Inc.

We all bend, twist and strain our bodies to accommodate our work. When minor physical stresses accumulate, they can lead to a damaging cycle of aches, pains, discomfort and injury.

It is no wonder that back injuries affect 85% of the population, or that two out of three Musculo-Skeletal Injuries (MSI) are due to overexertion.

It doesn’t have to be that way!
