Cognitive Rehabilitation

Objective, Personalized Cognitive Testing at ESR Physical Therapy

Cognitive rehabilitation helps individuals improve mental skills that may be affected by injury, illness, or aging. Whether you’re recovering from a concussion, managing ADHD, or experiencing memory and concentration issues, ESR Physical Therapy offers comprehensive cognitive assessment and support to help you restore mental clarity and function.

We utilize a scientifically validated digital platform for brain health—to better understand each patient’s unique cognitive strengths and challenges.

What Is Cognitive Rehabilitation?

Cognitive rehabilitation focuses on restoring or enhancing your brain’s ability to perform everyday functions like:

  • Memory and attention

  • Problem-solving and reasoning

  • Mental processing speed

  • Focus and concentration

  • Executive functioning (planning, organization, decision-making)

This therapy is often used for patients recovering from neurological injuries such as concussions, strokes, or traumatic brain injuries, as well as for those managing neurocognitive conditions like ADHD, post-COVID brain fog, or age-related cognitive decline.

Introducing: Modern Cognitive Assessment

At ESR Physical Therapy, we conduct cognitive assessments that are engaging, accurate, and easy to understand. This digital tool provides objective insights into how your brain is functioning across key areas like memory, attention, reasoning, and verbal ability.

What Patients Should Know About Cognitive Testing

We understand that cognitive testing can feel unfamiliar. That’s why we provide a clear, patient-friendly overview of how it works and what to expect.

Here’s a summary of what you’ll learn before getting started:

  • What is Creyos Health?
    Creyos is a clinically tested cognitive assessment platform used by healthcare professionals to evaluate brain performance using short, interactive tasks.

  • How It Works
    The test is taken on a computer or tablet and takes only about 15–20 minutes. It’s designed to be intuitive and comfortable for patients of all ages.

  • How to Prepare
    You’ll receive a Patient Preparation Guide with tips for success, including how to find a quiet environment, what to expect during each task, and how to get the best results.

  • Overview of the Tasks
    The tasks are simple, game-like exercises that measure different areas of brain performance. They help identify strengths and areas for improvement.

You’ll also receive additional resources such as:

  • A Patient Brochure that explains the purpose and benefits

  • A Guide to Conversations About Brain Health, helping you understand why cognitive function is essential to overall well-being
