Orlando Welcome Center Guide
We are so honored that you have chosen to place your health in our hands. For the past decade, members of our team have had the privilege of training with some of the pioneers and world-experts in neurology, and have participated in the care of thousands while they achieved their goals, and gained a better quality of life. When neuro-rehabilitation is implemented in a specific and concentrated fashion, the way that we deliver it in our intensive clinical model, you have the potential to experience improvements that you may have never thought were possible. You have made the right choice and we are ready to assist you to the best of our abilities. Science has revealed that our brain has a remarkable capacity for change — or “plasticity” — when stimulated properly. However, you must know that this is not a passive process. Our team of specialists will actively be working with you, challenging your brain to perform its best, almost like a team of ‘brain trainers’. The days will be long, the exercises will be challenging, but the results will speak for themselves.

Also feel free to bring: water bottles, light travel clothing, sunglasses, headphones, sweaters, extra pair of socks, and anything else you will find comfortable. *If you are a professional or collegiate athlete, or if your goal is to return to a sport, please bring your gear.
What To Expect
As your doctor explained in his welcome message, you should expect a rigorous but fulfilling week. All of our patients are unique, so there may be individualized treatment sessions.
