Brain injury rehabilitation.

Traumatic and acquired brain injury affects far more than strength. Balance, coordination, attention, processing speed and fatigue all interact, and a program that treats only the physical side tends to stall. Our NeuroHub work is built to train movement and cognition together, because that is how they are used.

We assess movement, balance, gait and coordination — but also how those hold up when attention is divided. Walking while talking, changing direction on cue, or reacting to something unexpected are where difficulties usually surface after brain injury, and where testing in a quiet room misses them.

That gives us a baseline that reflects real environments rather than ideal ones.

The Motek C-Mill VR is well suited to brain injury rehabilitation because it combines walking with cognitive demand: projected targets, obstacles that appear without warning, and tasks that force attention to split. That is a close match for crossing a road or moving through a shopping centre.

The harness means reactive balance can be trained properly — pushing to the point of genuine loss of balance and recovery, which is where the adaptation happens and which is unsafe to do unsupported.

Post-injury fatigue is a major limiter and is easy to underestimate. Sessions are structured with deliberate rest, and program volume rises slowly with attention to how the following days go.

Where headaches, dizziness or visual disturbance are part of the picture, we adjust and coordinate with the relevant specialists.

Goals differ enormously — returning to a trade, back to study, back to driving, or back onto the field. Programs are built backwards from that goal, and our occupational therapists handle the daily-living and workplace side alongside the physical work.

Where an insurer, support coordinator or plan manager is involved, we provide the reporting they need.
