Brain Recovery
Welcome to the Brain Recovery Association
We are a pioneering organisation dedicated to transforming the treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Our approach is based on a groundbreaking Brain Recovery Protocol developed by Dr. Joseph Shafer.
This system addresses the full spectrum of TBI-related symptoms through a combination of non-invasive techniques. By stimulating specific regions of the brain with targeted magnetic fields while simultaneously activating precise pain points on the extremities, many patients experience significant improvement — and in numerous cases, full recovery.
Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
TBI refers to any trauma to the brain, including what is commonly dismissed as a “mild bump.” Even seemingly minor impacts can lead to Persistent Post-Concussive Symptoms (PPCS), which often worsen over time. Symptoms are diverse and sometimes vague, making a proper diagnosis challenging.
Typical complaints include:
headaches, fatigue, drowsiness, brain fog, memory and concentration problems, mood swings, disorientation, depression, anxiety, insomnia, speech issues, imbalance, dizziness, blurred vision, altered smell or taste, sensitivity to light or sound, reduced coordination, muscle weakness, tingling sensations in arms or legs, and more.
Many brain injuries may originate in childhood. Growing children fall frequently; while most falls cause no harm, some do result in subtle brain trauma that remains unrecognised. The number of children experiencing what is believed to be “mild trauma” is astonishing.
Now widely referred to as a silent epidemic, TBI is estimated to affect 27 to 69 million people worldwide every year. Millions continue to suffer — often without hope of meaningful recovery. Yet today, there is reason for hope.
Our Mission
At Brain Recovery Association, we recognize how overwhelming life can become after a traumatic brain injury or stroke. The symptoms can be confusing, exhausting, and sometimes frightening — both for patients and their families. That is why we are dedicated to offering gentle, effective and holistic treatments that support the body and brain in recovering lost abilities, restoring confidence, and improving daily life.
With our TSMS and PAS methods, we use modern, science-based techniques together with attentive, personalised care. Every person’s journey is different, and we guide each patient step by step, helping them move toward meaningful recovery.
Training the Next Generation of Practitioners
To make these treatments available to more people, we created the Brain Recovery Academy. Here, practitioners can learn Dr. Shafer’s unique approach and develop the skills needed to apply it safely and effectively.
Our vision is to build a growing network of clinics where patients can find the support and treatment they truly deserve.
