How can family members help support individuals with a brain injury?

Family members can help by understanding the challenges and frustrations that may be experienced as a result of brain injury. It is important to provide emotional support and stay involved throughout the recovery process.

Additionally, family involvement in speech therapy sessions can help bolster progress made during individualized treatment. By providing positive reinforcement for correct responses or behaviors, family members can help create an encouraging environment for their loved one and assist the therapist in aiding the patient.

At Pillars of Wellness, we also provide family-focused counselling services to support both the patient and their loved ones throughout their healing journey.

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism

I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….

On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.

This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.

I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.

Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
