  • Assessment and Diagnosis: The first step in brain injury rehabilitation is a thorough assessment by a team of healthcare professionals, including neurologists, neuropsychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists. They evaluate the extent and nature of the injury and its impact on the individual's physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning.

  • Treatment Plan: Based on the assessment, a personalised treatment plan is developed. This plan outlines the goals and objectives of rehabilitation and the strategies and interventions to achieve them.

  • Physical Rehabilitation: For individuals with motor impairments, physical therapy is essential. Therapists work on improving strength, balance, coordination, and mobility. This may involve exercises, assistive devices, and adaptive techniques.

  • Occupational Therapy Assessment: Our specialist neurologist occupational therapists help patients regain the ability to perform daily activities, such as dressing, cooking, and grooming. They focus on enhancing fine motor skills, cognitive functions, and adaptive techniques.

  • Speech and Language Therapy: People with brain injuries that affect speech and communication may benefit from speech therapy. Therapists work on speech articulation, language comprehension, and communication skills.

  • Cognitive Rehabilitation: Cognitive rehabilitation aims to improve cognitive functions such as memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning. Techniques may include cognitive exercises, compensatory strategies, and assistive technology.

  • Psychological Support: Coping with the emotional and psychological consequences of a brain injury is crucial. Psychologists and counsellors provide therapy and support to help individuals and their families manage anxiety, depression, and emotional
