JR Rehab News

JR at the BC Brain Injury Association Gala

JR Rehab Director Ricardo Nuno, OT Jill Olson, and Kinesiologists Sarah Clarke and Kevin Loades showed their support for those affected by acquired brain injury at BCBIA’s annual fundraising gala at Hycroft Manor.  A great time was had by all and more importantly, this event will make a difference in the lives of those with brain injuries and their families. We hope to see you there next year!

JR goes Urban Poling!

Have you heard of Urban Poling (Nordic walking)?  Apart from the health and fitness aspects of this increasingly popular activity, it’s rehabilitation benefits are extensive and varied!  Whether increasing balance and stability through core activation, promoting cognitive function and coordination, or increasing oxygen consumption, exercising HR, and caloric expenditure, pole walking can assist in recovery from injury or disability.  The staff at JR have recognized the benefits of this activity for our clients and have been certified to provide client instruction and activation programs in this discipline.  Contact us to find out more.

Mild TBI & Concussion Research

Barry Willer, professor of Psychiatry at the University of Buffalo has dedicated much of his professional career to the study of brain injury; from TBI to concussions. Some of his research related to the treatment of concussions was presented at a JR staff meeting.  We think that you will find it interesting.
