“Dave and I loved Extend’s positive approach to my rehabilitation. Nia gave me the confidence to set goals and was with us each step of the way, celebrating at each milestone. Her mindful approach to take things slow and pay attention to what was happening in my body as it was happening was so helpful in calming me down and allowed me to focus on one step at a time, Dave learnt lots for himself at the same time!
