Wellbeing Digital Sciences (NEO:MEDI.AQN, OTCQB:KONEF) Inc said its subsidiary IRP Health Ltd has received approval from Veterans Affairs Canada for its multidisciplinary Reactivation-branded therapy program at its new clinic in Toronto, Ontario.
According to Wellbeing, Reactivation is a 12-week, physician-supervised, interdisciplinary pain management program combining psychiatry, psychology, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, kinesiology, and dietetics to assist veterans with chronic musculoskeletal injuries and pain.
The goal of the program is to decrease distressing symptoms, increase engagement in the community, and increase the ability to complete daily tasks.
