COMPLEX Long-Term Disability Case Support

Fresh Eyes. Informed Insight. Real Progress.

When a long-term disability case stalls, everyone loses — the client feels forgotten, the case manager faces mounting pressure, and the system continues spinning its wheels.

That’s where I come in.

With over 24 years of clinical experience — and my own recovery journey through long-term disability — I bring a measurable, assessment-driven approach to help move complex, unresolved cases forward with integrity and clarity.

“Clients want to feel heard.  Case Managers want clarity.

My job is to connect both with integrity and evidence.”

What This Service Is

An integrative orthopaedic medical massage therapy–based strategy for cases involving:

  • Chronic pain with no clear resolution
  • Delayed or incomplete post-injury or post-surgical recovery
  • “Complex” or “unresolvable” diagnostic puzzles
  • Discrepancies between reported symptoms and objective findings
  • Uncertainty about appropriate next steps or referrals

Whether referred by a disability insurer, lawyer, physician, or self-referred, I approach every case with:

  • Clinical objectivity and a fresh set of eyes
  • Ethical advocacy for both client and care team
  • Quantifiable progress tracking rooted in orthopaedic testing

Referral & File Review

"Second Opinion" blocks on a desk, representing clinical file reviews and intake assessments for long-term disability case support

For insurer or legal referrals — I review clinical records, diagnostic imaging, and rehab notes in advance. Self-referring patients follow a similar intake process, minus formal reporting unless requested.

A detailed file review report (for a fee) outlines:

  • Initial observations and clinical reasoning hypothesis
  • Whether I believe I can contribute
  • My suggested orthopaedic testing & treatment plan focus
  • Potential treatment frequency and plan
  • Referral or imaging suggestions if applicable

Ongoing Care & Progress Tracking

  • Client participation and compliance
  • Referral suggestions or discharge readiness

Balanced, Ethical Advocacy

As someone who’s been both a care provider and a long-term disability patient, I understand all sides of the table — the pressure, the vulnerability, and the frustration.

I advocate for what’s true and clinically appropriate. That means:

  • Supporting honest clients with data-backed documentation
  • Identifying red flags — physical or psychological — that may need other support
  • Offering insurers fair, functional insights to make better decisions
  • Recommending other practitioners if I am not the right fit
Do you work for the insurance company?


No. I work for clinical truth and ethical progress. I support the client first — while also ensuring fairness for all involved.

Can I access this service without insurance involvement?


Yes. Self-referral is welcome. My optional reports (for a fee) can assist with legal cases, doctor visits, or specialist referrals.

What if I’ve tried everything?


That’s often when I’m called. I am known for unravelling tough cases and I while may not solve them all, I often uncover key issues or suggest the right next steps.

What’s in the reports?


Reports include test results, symptom behaviour, progress over time, patient feedback, and my professional recommendations — written in clear, understandable language.

What if the plan doesn’t work?


If we stall, I reassess: Is there home care compliance or do we need different exercises?  Are we missing something structurally or need another technique? Is there a psychological or behavioural factor? Is further diagnostic imaging necessary? Do we need a referral? I don’t continue treatment without purpose.
