Rebuild and Recover with
Individualized Injury Recovery

led by a multidisciplinary team to restore how your body moves, while building lasting strength and
confidence through expert guidance and community support.

Reimagine

Healing is not just about going back to how things were. It is about discovering what is possible now. With a team that listens and a community that understands, our Sussex rehabilitation clinic is here to help you reimagine what could be.

Rebuild

Recovery takes time, care, and the right support. Through tailored rehabilitation, we help you rebuild strength and confidence, step by step and at your pace.

Reset

Setbacks happen, but they don’t define you. At Refocus, we see injury recovery as a chance to pause, reflect, and begin again with purpose and clarity.

At Refocus, we understand that injury affects more than just your body.

It can shake your confidence, interrupt your routine, and make the next step feel unclear. That is why our focus is on physio-led recovery that supports the whole person, not just the injury or pain.

Our rehabilitation support is guided by experienced physiotherapists and delivered through a multidisciplinary team, including exercise physiologists, strength and conditioning coaches, and sports massage therapists. We work closely together with the goal that our patients come back stronger than before.

At Refocus, we understand that recovery is not just physical. We offer our clients the opportunity to become part of a community of people who understand what you are going through. Whether you are just starting out or rebuilding after a long journey, we are here to help you move forward with trust, consistency, and care.
