Our team has a wealth of experience treating clients following post traumatic brain injuries. We see clients with mild, moderate and severe brain injuries. Therapy is provided in the comfort of your home or in a clinic setting, whichever best suits your needs.

Our physiotherapy intervention depends on the severity of the brain injury, the problems the person is presenting with and their goals. In addition to experience with acquired brain injury rehabilitation, some of our physiotherapists and our massage therapist are trained in acupuncture, acu-pressure, active release and myofascial release techniques , lymphatic drainage and manual therapy techniques, all of which can be therapeutic when recovering from a traumatic injury. Physiotherapy interventions maybe needed after a mild or moderate brain injury for assistance with:

• Balance deficits
• Co-ordination deficits
• Difficulties in crowded environments e.g. mall, outside walking
• Anxiety regarding falls
• Fitness requirements and re-integration into community programs as possible
• Preparing for return to work
• Specific skills for activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, cooking
