Dealing with a brain injury

Brain injuries can happen due to trauma from external forces impacting the head, such as a blow or jolt, or internal factors, such as stroke, tumour, infection, or lack of oxygen. 

Brain injuries, whether traumatic or acquired, can have profound effects on an individual's cognitive intellectual activity (such as thinking, reasoning, or remembering), physical, emotional, and behavioural functioning. 

If your family member has a brain injury, they may struggle with issues such as: 

  • Memory problems
  • Attention deficits
  • Language difficulties
  • Headaches and fatigue
  • Dizziness and balance issues
  • Balance issues
  • Motor impairments
  • Seizures
  • Emotional and behavioural problems
  • Sensory disturbances

Individuals with brain injuries need tailored rehabilitation programs that address these diverse and complex symptoms, that can be very specific to their individual cases. 

Rehabilitation can support their recovery whilst providing them with emotional support to help drastically improve their quality of life.

At Circle Rehabilitation, our multidisciplinary team works to create personalised rehabilitation plans that incorporate advanced technologies and therapeutic techniques to help patients achieve their recovery goals.
