Headway's Rehabilitation Programs
Headway Gold Coast places a high emphasis to the rehabilitation of those clients effected by an acquired brain injury. Headway operates an in-house gymnasium complete with exercise and rehabilitation equipment to ensure that our clients have the opportunity to achieve their highest possible potential.
Headway has the privilege of an in-house physiotherapist who specializes in the latest rehabilitation and motivational techniques to achieve the greatest possible outcomes for our clients.
While physical disabilities are a major deficit to those experiencing an acquired brain injury, we also place a high priority on the cognitive, psychological, and psychosocial aspects that effect the every day lives of our clients.
No two individuals with acquired brain injury are alike.
There is a tendency to talk of brain injury as a singular impairment, but experience quickly reveals vast differences from person to person. People were different before they were hurt. After injury, individual differences are compounded by the injury severity and location of the damage to the brain, secondary medical complications, and how the individual adjusts to motor, cognitive, and emotional effects.
The lifestyle and living environment that each person hopes to re-establish will call for different abilities and adaptations. And to make things more complicated, most of these issues continue to change in the months and years after injury. Because needs will differ greatly, services must be both individualized and flexible. Treatment plans must be developed for each person, one size doesn't fit all. Standardized programming or group activities may need to be adapted to be useful for the person with an acquired brain injury.
