Brain Injury Rehabilitation

Understanding Brain Injury

Acquired brain injury can occur due to trauma, stroke, infection or lack of oxygen. Effects vary widely and may include changes in movement, balance, fatigue, attention and confidence.

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Physiotherapy supports recovery by improving strength, balance, coordination and functional ability. Therapy is carefully paced, taking into account both physical and cognitive fatigue.

Support is provided in your own home across Dublin and surrounding areas, allowing therapy to be tailored to real-life environments and daily routines.

What Research and Guidelines Tell Us
