Stop Rest Pace
Pacing is not something that is understood by the world and is a new concept in rehab. Moreover, it is not an easy thing to do or learn for patients. Whether you are a professional athlete or just an active individual living your life, there is no easy path to rehab and it just takes time. The good news is we will be your champion. We will be with you literally every step of the way to support and encourage you and help you in your recovery. Therefore, we focus a lot on patient education and helping each individual manage daily activities without causing symptom exacerbation.

Brain Health and Rehabilitation
We are extremely proud of our brain health and rehabilitation program. It is centered on the concept of dual-tasking to increase the neuroplasticity in the brain to improve memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function. Dual-tasking is evidenced-based training that combines a physical and cognitive task. Our program features a gamified piece of equipment from SMARTfit that is interactive, fun, and challenging. We have found it to be helpful for our long covid patients, but are mindful on how we are able to use it, based on the severity of the symptoms for each individual.Identifying Treatment Areas for Brain Fog
Cambridge Brain Sciences (CBS), a leading web-based platform for the assessment of cognitive function has an online software program that we use to set baseline measurements for each patient and help us identify specific areas in need of improvement. It is an invaluable tool and allows us to track a patient's progress.Click here to try a sample cognitive assessment
