Neurological Rehabilitation (Neuro-Rehab) is a field of study in health care that looks at the functional changes in the brain and nervous system. Neuro-Rehab has emphasised on restoring or managing nervous system dysfunction by using non-surgical, non-pharmaceutical approaches with knowledgeable respect of the relationships between different stages and levels of the nervous system (e.g. brain, brainstem and spinal cord)
The practice of Neuro-Rehab is based on neuroscience and explores how the latest research can be applied to patient care. After determining the efficiency at which an individual’s nervous system is functioning, the therapist can create a treatment program to assist in improving the capabilities of the patient’s nervous system.
Building upon the core premise of neuroplasticity – the ability of the brain and nervous system to adapt and change in response to a stimulus – Neuro-Rehab therapist can engage in the rehabilitation of a significant range of conditions.
An assessment will aim to uncover the patient’s unique neurological demands. A balance and the healthily functioning nervous system has a well-regulated balance of fuel, oxygen and activation at the cellular level. So a role of the Neuro-Rehab therapist is to clinically locate the site within the nervous system which is compromised or imbalanced.
Three factors that are of high importance to the Neuro-Rehab therapist are:
Brainstorm Rehabilitation employs a trained neurological rehabilitation therapist, Darren J. Gray. Even though he is trained and experienced in the neurological rehabilitation services, he is not a medically trained or medically registered within Australia.
To achieve the best possible outcomes, we liaise closely with each other healthcare team, external medical professionals, funding bodies and of course our clients, their families and carers.
We provide a comprehensive assessment of a client’s specific needs and create a unique program tailored to the individual. Our personal, hands-on approach, together with patient and carer education and training, are vital to our success.
Providing uniquely designed neurological rehabilitation programs for under a decade, Brainstorm Rehabilitation has earned the trusted professional respect across the health service and community.
Our highly experienced neurological rehabilitation therapist is uniquely trained and qualified to provide the best possible treatment to individuals with neurological injuries. We are committed to improving our clients’ quality of life and regularly attend professional development training to ensure we provide the most up-to-date therapy available.
Various therapeutic approaches are available:
Our training and education are orientated towards brain-based dysfunction. We provide rehabilitation for a range of conditions including:
