Understanding Your Brain Health
The importance of staying on top of our physical health is ingrained in us. We’re advised to track our blood pressure, our cholesterol and our weight, but what do we do to track our brain health? This makes understanding our cognitive strengths and challenges, and monitoring changes over time all the more important. As with physical health, early detection and treatment improves brain health outcomes. For those already experiencing brain dysfunction, better understanding means targeted treatment options, key to recovery and improving your quality of life.
Until now, obtaining a comprehensive overview of brain health has been a long, challenging and often cost prohibitive process, which can limit access to intervention. Effective intervention is easily possible with BrainFx 360.
BrainFx 360 makes comprehensive measurement and tracking of your brain health easier and more accessible. As a Certified BrainFx Provider, we can get a clear picture of your challenges and individual strengths using this powerful new assessment tool, suggest more targeted treatments, and determine their effectiveness in helping to improve your quality of life.
According to the Ontario Brain Institute, 1 in 3 individuals will experience a brain disorder during their lifetime. This makes understanding our cognitive strengths and challenges, and monitoring changes over time even more important.
