How is your approach different from traditional therapy or medication?

We focus on functional brain performance rather than symptom suppression. Instead of relying solely on behavioural therapy or medication, we use brain mapping and targeted, non-invasive interventions (like neuromodulation and sensory integration) to address the root causes of neurological imbalance. Our approach is designed to work alongside existing therapies and medical care.

Do you work with non-verbal children or those with severe delays?

Yes, absolutely. We adapt our assessments and interventions to suit the needs of non-verbal or significantly delayed children. Many of our tools are based on brain and body responses rather than verbal communication. We aim to unlock potential and improve function regardless of verbal ability.

What ages do you work with?

We work with individuals of all ages, including young children, adolescents, and adults. For children, we tailor our assessments and interventions to match their developmental level and individual needs, ensuring sessions are engaging, supportive, and effective.

Will this help my child with emotional regulation and meltdowns?

Many families report improvements in emotional regulation, sensory sensitivity, and behavioural outbursts as brain function becomes more balanced. Our programs are designed to support the neural networks responsible for self-regulation, which can positively affect mood stability, flexibility, and transitions.

My child doesn’t sit still or follow instructions well,can they still participate in your program?

Yes. We understand that many children with neurodevelopmental conditions struggle with attention, regulation, and compliance. Our team is experienced in working with a wide range of behaviours and uses creative, flexible strategies to ensure your child can participate and benefit—at their own pace and comfort level.

How do I know if the program is working?

We track changes using a combination of objective brain-based metrics (e.g., QEEG, reflex testing), symptom questionnaires, and real-world observations from parents, teachers, and therapists. Regular reviews help us adjust the program and highlight progress in areas like sleep, focus, communication, and behaviour.

Can you help with other brain-related conditions such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Anxiety, or Depression?

Yes, we support individuals experiencing symptoms related to neurological and mental health conditions — including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s, Anxiety, Depression, and more through a functional neurology approach.

Rather than focusing on the disease label itself, we assess and support underlying brain function. Using tools like QEEG brain mapping, cognitive assessments, and reflex testing, we identify functional imbalances in specific brain networks. Our interventions, which may include neuromodulation, sensory stimulation, movement therapy, photobiomodulation, and targeted cognitive training, are designed to improve neuroplasticity, restore connectivity, and optimise brain performance.

This approach does not replace medical treatment but works alongside it to reduce symptoms, enhance quality of life, and promote better daily functioning in a safe, non-invasive way.

How do you approach treating a concussion, and how long does recovery take?

We take a functional neurology approach to concussion treatment. Our process begins with a comprehensive assessment, including QEEG brain mapping, balance and vestibular testing, cognitive screening, and symptom evaluation to identify specific brain function disruptions caused by the injury.

Based on these insights, we design a personalised treatment plan that may include:

• Neuromodulation therapies (e.g., neurofeedback, photobiomodulation)

• Vestibular and balance rehabilitation

• Cognitive training and gradual return-to-activity protocols

• Sensory integration and movement therapy

Recovery timelines vary considerably depending on factors such as injury severity, age, pre-existing conditions, and adherence to the program. While some individuals begin to notice improvements within weeks, full recovery can take several months. We emphasise ongoing monitoring and adapting interventions to support optimal brain healing and functional restoration.

What aspects of the brain do you focus on to improve sports performance?

We enhance sports performance by targeting the brain systems responsible for coordination, reaction time, focus, balance, visual processing, and motor control.

Using QEEG brain mapping and functional assessments, we identify areas of the brain that may be underperforming or inefficient, particularly those involved in sensorimotor integration, cognitive speed, and executive function. Based on this, we deliver individualised training that may include neuromodulation, photobiomodulation, and reflex-based movement protocols to optimise brain connectivity and performance.

Our goal is to help athletes achieve peak neurological efficiency, enhance decision-making under pressure, and support recovery from fatigue, stress, or head injury — all without invasive methods or medication

What is dysautonomia? How do you help?

Dysautonomia is a term for disorders where the autonomic nervous system (ANS)—which controls involuntary functions like heart rate, digestion, blood pressure, and temperature regulation—doesn’t work properly. Symptoms can include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, digestive issues, and difficulty maintaining blood pressure.

While post-viral syndromes have recently been a common cause, dysautonomia can also arise from:

• Chronic illnesses such as diabetes or autoimmune diseases

• Physical trauma or concussion affecting the nervous system

• Genetic or developmental conditions

• Severe stress or chronic anxiety impacting autonomic regulation

• Certain medications or toxins

We use brain mapping and physiological assessments to evaluate autonomic function and design personalised, non-invasive treatments like neuromodulation, polyvagal theory, breathing exercises, and sensory integration therapies. Our goal is to restore autonomic balance, reduce symptoms, and support improved daily functioning alongside medical care.

How long does it take to see results from therapy?

Based on our clinical experience at NeuroActiveHub, the timeframe for noticing improvements varies widely, from as soon as a few days to several months. Intensive treatment blocks, where sessions are scheduled frequently over a short period, often lead to faster and more noticeable changes.

Several factors influence the speed and extent of progress, including:

• Age of the individual

• Severity and complexity of the condition

• Consistency and compliance with the treatment plan

• Lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, and stress management

Because brain function and neuroplasticity vary between individuals, we personalise programs and regularly review progress to optimise outcomes.

Is this approach suitable for healthy individuals who want to keep their brain sharp?

Yes. our functional neurology and brain optimisation programs are designed not only to support recovery from conditions but also to enhance brain health and cognitive performance in healthy individuals.

By using brain mapping and personalised interventions like digital therapy and cognitive training, we help optimise brain efficiency, improve focus, memory, and mental clarity, and support long-term brain resilience. This proactive approach is suitable for anyone looking to maintain or boost their cognitive function throughout life.
