Brain Injury

A brain injury can cause difficulties in both cognitive and physical function. Our experienced OT team assess and support people who have sustained a change in their ability to participate in their typical roles and activities due to a brain injury. We collaborate with you to provide the treatment required to improve functional abilities as well as adapt the environment and provide adaptive equipment if required.
