Specialized Rehabilitation for returning to everyday life activities

Traumatic Brain Injury (T.B.I.)

Traumatic Brain Injury (T.B.I.), also known as head and brain trauma, is a serious neurological condition that can occur after a car accident, fall, or other traumatic event. Depending on the severity of the injury, it can affect a person’s mobility, memory, concentration, communication, and behavior.
