Neurotherapies BrainAdvantage neurotherapies allow the client unique tools to promote self mastery skills. The goal of training is to teach the patient how to train the brain to improve attention, memory, cognition and the ability to focus for prolonged periods of time. This helps the patient gain a sense of self control over the body and mind. We have found that it's impossible to fix just the brain without looking at the rest of the body. For that reason, BrainAdvantage includes a medical component for "whole body" therapy plans that offer a total system solution for the patient.
