Complete Concussion/TBI Managament
Each concussion case is unique to the individual.
​
Advanced management of concussions and mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBIs) involves a deeper comprehension of the intricate aspects of cognition, vision, emotions, autonomic functions, balance, sensory processing, and motor control systems that are affected, as well as the therapeutic techniques employed to restore their normal functioning.
Our Approach
Our unique approach of assessing all things neurological, structural, and metabolic can uncover issues that other providers may have missed, and that could make all the difference in your recovery.
Your rehabilitation experience starts with a comprehensive Neuro-Exam that looks at your personal history as well as the Seven Key Systems involved in brain health: Autonomic, Oculomotor, Affect, Cognitive, Somatic, Proprioceptive, and Vestibular. By assessing these systems, we can identify the areas of your brain suffering from injury or trauma. Your Neuro-Exam is a two-hour exam to diagnose and identify the contributing factors of your condition. If you elect to stay for a full Discovery Day, the exam will be followed up with a one-on-one therapy session with your doctor. Most people who join us for a Discovery Day go on to book a full Intensive Program.
Neuro-Exam
A 2-hour exam to diagnose and identify the contributing factors of your condition.
Discovery Day
A report of findings and a one-on-one therapy session with your doctor.
Intensive Program
A 5-day Personalized Neuro-Recovery Program entirely customized to your needs.
Intensive Program Example Schedule
Your Intensive Program is entirely customized to your needs; each person's experience will vary slightly, but on average daily schedules will consist of two to three therapy sessions taking place between 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and an average of up to 15 hours of therapy throughout the week.
Day 1
The week begins with a Neuro-Exam: diagnostic tests, report of findings, and upon reviewing your results, your personalized neuro-recovery program is created.
Now it’s time for your initial therapy session to improve your condition and leave you with a sense of progress and accomplishment.
​
TIME
Up to three one-hour sessions
Day 2
You'll arrive in the morning and begin your first of three one-hour therapy sessions.
Throughout the day, you'll be working one on one with your doctors to execute your personalized therapy program based on your day-one diagnostics and report of findings.
TIME
Up to three one-hour sessions
Day 3
Midweek is similar to day 2 but with the added excitement of repeating your diagnostics to highlight what has improved and adjust your program accordingly.
Therapy is continued, and the day ends with a calming recovery session.
​
TIME
Up to three one-hour sessions
Day 4
With your program having been refined mid-week, you'll come into day four with a refreshed therapy experience and spend the day working with your Doctor toward your recovery.
​
TIME
Up to three one-hour sessions
Day 5
Last but not least, on your final day, we'll rerun your diagnostic assessments from day one, as needed to map out your progress.
Then on to your final therapy session before diving into your at-home program development and training.
​
TIME
Up to two one-hour sessions
Post-Intensive Program
Your therapy won’t stop when you go home. After your 5-Day intensive Program, you’ll have two months of at-home support and an app to help you track ongoing improvement and symptoms and function.
