Tina was lovely and I always looked forward to her visits. I didn’t want the program to end as I enjoyed her visits to my home for occupational therapy. She helped me to be safer in my home and to return to some of the things I used to do.…

At 89 I didn’t think it was worth changing my bathroom to make it safer even though I had had a fall and broke my leg. Tina encouraged me to apply to DVA for the bathroom to be changed. Even though there was lots of work in the application, Tina…

My life was literally flattened when I contracted Guillian Barre Syndrome. I could not move a muscle and had a newborn to care for. Once discharged from hospital, I had occupational therapy as one of my allied health services. Tina helped me to develop ways to care for myself and…

I had significant left sided hemiplegia following a stroke. Tina was my occupational therapist on a post discharge rehabilitation program. I was very happy to have someone working with me that understood what was important to me and worked with me to achieve my goals. After 16 weeks, I was…

Working with Tina Garrett is the best thing I have ever done for my health. I started Water Aerobics some 10-12 years ago when I injured my back as I couldn’t do any exercise that put impact on my spine.  My general mobility and fitness was in decline and I…

I am 65 yrs, acutely overweight and suffer from arthritis.  Although I participate in Tina's aqua aerobic program twice a week I approached "Boot Camp" with some reservations. I was able to participate at my own level but was extended steadily each session achieving a huge improvement in core strength and…
