Why Traumatic Brain Injury Rehabilitation Is Necessary

Recovery at Fairview Adult Day Care starts with real-life situational one on one therapy using occupational, physical, speech, and recreational therapists. On our staff we also have staff registered nurses and certified nursing assistants. Our multilingual team, working as one, allows us to provide comprehensive care.

The one-on-one occupational therapy program, for instance, helps people relearn the skills required for daily living. Our traumatic brain injury rehabilitation program helps clients reintegrate into the community.

Physical therapy, as part of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, is so important for the body’s overall recovery. Carefully planned exercise regimes to suit individual needs will aid recovery. Physical therapy can improve your body’s strength and helps the flow of oxygen to the brain. As such, it has huge healing potential. Keeping fit and active is not only beneficial for your physical, but also for your mental health.

The personal guidance of trained occupational therapists is a key element of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. Occupational therapy focuses on a patient’s physical and cognitive skills so they can tackle everyday tasks with more confidence.

These skills include motor skills, balance, physical development, and social and emotional skills. Occupational therapy aims to help patients get back to doing their favorite activities in life with greater ease.

Speech therapy is another crucial aspect of traumatic brain injury rehabilitation. It helps patients overcome speech problems resulting from brain injuries. Speech therapists train a patient’s linguistic and communication skills using tailored exercises, memory games and audio-visual aids.

Being able to communicate effectively greatly enhances your quality of life and boosts your sense of well-being and self-esteem.

Professional cognitive behavioral therapists use exercises to train the brain and improve memory. Discussion groups, memory games, puzzles, singing and art classes can improve overall cognition.

Psychologists help people with traumatic brain injury improve their lost skills and learn to manage their psychological changes. Brain injury rehab also helps them keep calm and relaxed as well as express their feelings.

The main goal of the cognitive therapy and rehab is to improve thought processes and prevent patients from getting worse. This therapy is also important as it helps eliminate the negative results of the damage to their brains.

In additions, fun activities are absolutely crucial in order to keep positive. They have a highly beneficial social and emotional element. At Fairview Adult Day Care Center in Brooklyn NY, we understand the importance of this in overall traumatic brain injury rehabilitation.
