When to consider allied health
Allied health is most powerful when introduced early — but it’s never too late. Common triggers:
- A fall or near-fall
- Coming home from hospital
- Difficulty walking or moving around the house
- Foot pain or nail issues
- Weight loss or appetite change
- Coughing or choking on food/drink
- New diagnosis of a chronic condition
