The Neuro Wellness Center provides a comprehensive, integrated approach to recovery from brain injury. I began my work with Pam and Carrie two years after my stroke which had left me with significant left-side impairments that inhibited my walking and use of my hand. It’s never too late to start with them, though I wish that I had started working with them earlier in my recovery process. Their approach provided hope even after the years had passed with limited recovery.
