Neuro Rehabilitation in Burlington
What is Neuro Rehabilitation?
Pillars of Wellness, located in Burlington, Aldershot, specializes in the use of neuro rehabilitation (which falls under Occupational therapy) to support and facilitate an individual to be as independent as possible in their chosen activities (occupations).
This may include improving an individual’s cognitive functions such as memory, planning and organizing, and/or may focus on removing physical barriers, prescribing mobility equipment, and linking them to appropriate community resources.
