Start with an fNCI Brain Scan
Begin your treatment journey with our specialized fMRI scan known as functional NeuroCognitive Imaging (fNCI). Through this powerful scan, our team will unveil the intricate reasons behind your specific symptoms, providing valuable insights.
With your fNCI results as their compass, our therapists customize your appointments with specific tasks that precisely target the underlying cause of your symptoms
Rotational Therapy
While you are in EPIC Treatment, you will undergo several days of intensive therapy. The therapies you participate in will encompass a diverse range of disciplines and focal points.
Each day you will experience a dynamic rotation of therapies that are all focused on adapting to your scan results, prioritizing your needs, and remediating your symptoms.
Neuromuscular Therapy
These sessions primarily target your body's ability to self-identify and heal ongoing symptoms. Our skilled neuromuscular therapists show that post-concussion symptoms extend beyond just your head and brain.
During this session, you will participate in techniques that enhance your breathing, improve balance and stimulate your vestibular system, receive therapeutic massage to enhance mobility and fluidity in your head and neck, and engage in exercises that boost cerebral blood flow and promote the release of neurotransmitters.
Cognitive Therapy
Experience the expertise of our certified speech-language pathologists who specialize in cognitive therapy. During your sessions, your brain will undergo a stimulating workout designed to enhance both your short and long-term memory, attention span, and overall executive functioning.
These sessions help you improve your cognitive abilities and unlock your full potential.
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapy focuses on identifying and addressing vision issues to enhance the brain's visual connections.
During our sessions, we incorporate tasks that combine vision and the vestibular system, attention and memory, and even word recall and motor skills. These tasks are designed to improve visual perception skills such as saccades, pursuits, convergence, and divergence.
Neurointegration Therapy
Neurointegration Therapy aims to evaluate the individual functions of sight, balance, movement, and integration systems, with the ultimate goal of rehabilitating inefficient systems.
This therapy collaborates with neuromuscular therapists to reintegrate these systems effectively.
Psychological Therapy
Psychotherapy and mindfulness are powerful tools in addressing the emotional and psychological toll that often accompanies brain injury. By tapping into these therapeutic practices, we can help you navigate and heal from the profound impact of your injury.
During your sessions with our psychologists, they will carefully assess your individual needs throughout the course of treatment and may offer recommendations for ongoing psychological support beyond your treatment.
Sensory Therapies
Our sensory therapies are designed to stimulate multiple senses simultaneously. By utilizing specialized tools, we activate both your visual and auditory systems, creating an overwhelming sensory experience.
This allows our therapists to specifically target areas in your brain while minimizing its ability to compensate for weaker areas.
Final Results and A Post-Care Plan
Upon completion of your treatment, each patient undergoes a final fNCI scan. The results of this scan will be thoroughly reviewed with you, allowing for a meaningful comparison to your first scan.
Following your final fNCI results, you will work with a patient care specialists to develop a personalized post-care recovery plan that takes therapist recommendations, as well as insights gained from your final fNCI scan to ensure that your recovery continues even after you return home.
Our commitment to your well-being extends beyond the completion of treatment. Upon returning home, you will receive follow-up emails from your patient care specialists. This contact aims to guide your recovery, address any lingering questions or concerns you may have, and to ensure that you have the ongoing support you need.

Submit Paperwork
The process begins with new patient paperwork that gives us background information about you and your injury. We use the paperwork to make sure that it is safe for you to receive an MRI, and determine whether our treatment could be a good fit for you.
Schedule a Consultation
During your consultation, you will meet with a Neuroscience Practitioner to discuss your injury and determine if you would be a good fit for treatment at Cognitive FX. In the second half of the consultation, you will meet with one of our logistics specialists to discuss scheduling, travel, and other details regarding getting to treatment.
Confirm Your Treatment
After you have discussed a treatment week in the consultation, we will hold that treatment week for 5 business days before you will need to confirm your EPIC treatment. In order to confirm your treatment week, we require a deposit and a signed Confirmation and Cancellation policy.
Prepare for Treatment
Once you are confirmed for treatment you will receive various documents and recommendations to help you prepare for your treatment with Cognitive FX. Such recommendations include improving your sleep hygiene, getting in the habit of exercising regularly, and sending us previous medical records that are relevant to your treatment.
Your Treatment Week
You should expect to show up on the Monday of your treatment week, in comfortable exercise clothes, prepared to stay for approximately 8 hours. We ask that you do not plan any additional appointments during your treatment week. Lunch and snacks will be provided
Post-Care Planning
Before you leave the clinic on your last day, you will meet with a member of our Patient Care team to go over an at-home program to continue your improvement, based on recommendations from your therapist. Our Patient Care team will follow up with you periodically in the months following your treatment to help you reach your treatment goals.
