Our team of experts will empower our clients to understand their symptoms and triggers and will create a unique plan to help them progress through the rehabilitation process.
We understand that in the midst of a brain injury or a concussion, sights, sounds, and smells suddenly might be overwhelming.
Some people experience intense anxiety and mental fogginess. There are visual changes, dizziness, and balance challenges. Many people simply feel misunderstood and not themselves.
Our Galaxy team is here to help because we understand what you are going through and know how to skillfully guide you to overcome these challenges. We work with brain injury overcomers to help them understand the signs and symptoms they experience, how to track them, and then how to compensate for these new sensations while working to remediate the problems.
We even have our front office staff trained to recognize when you might need the lights dimmed, or when you might need a quiet room to rest in. We will take care of you from start to finish.
