At the VUCER Clinic, we provide a virtual clinical exercise rehabilitation service via Zoom. This is great for those who live far away from the clinic or just prefer online sessions.
Our virtual sessions offer the same services as our rehabilitation program, but from the comfort of your own home. Fees and information are also the same as the ones for the clinical rehabilitation onsite program.
