Patients talk about their experiences with DRC:



Alzheimer's Disease
My mother who has Alzheimer's has been receiving EEG Neurotherapy treatments twice a week for a month under the competent and caring expertise of Galina Architector. During this time our family has noted remarkable and surprising improvement in Mom's general behavior, her orientation to reality, her emotional state, and her desire to participate in life. We are encouraged by her progress and feel blessed to have found this compassionate therapist who offers hope and results...a rare and precious commodite in the world of Alzheimers.

Therapy
The 2 1/2 months of biofeedback, twice a week with Galina, October-December 2011, had produced notable changes in my mother. During this time she seemed to take a renewed interest in the details of living, expressed herself more strongly, more overtly. Also, her fretting during the nocturnal cycle of each day diminished ("sundowning" decreased). However, she became more and more resistant to the neurotherapy sessions as time went on until we had to stop going. The irony was that the sessions seemed to be causing marked positive changes in her personality. She, however, could not see it and insisted that we stop going.

The Next Three Months
Since then, my mother's life has taken on a regular routine. She does best when she is at home in familiar surroundings, in and outside the house. She is generally of pleasant demeanor. She reads, eats, sits on the swing, sleeps, often in the company of her husband. Occasionally I take her for a short walk. She loves to go to church on Sunday. I read to her. She rifles through family photos, often asking who the people are. She cleans up after dinner usually with a little help from me, her daughter.

I wanted the best possible care after shoulder surgery and returned back to Galina Architector for rehabilitation after the second shoulder surgery.

After my knee surgery, I was just not getting back up to speed quickly enough, so I turned to the experts at DRC. Lyn helped me to recover my full function in record time.

When I first went to Galina, I was in a wheelchair. A few treatments later, I was up and walking. She made such a difference in my life.

Bob's approach to recovery served me really well. The two of us worked together to clear up my arm and shoulder pain and let me get back to what I love best–tennis.
– Lydia G., Woodland Hills, CA

My neurologist referred me to the Disability Rehabilitation Center in West Hills. After only three treatments my hands, shoulder and elbow were feeling much better. When considering the complete lack of improvement after almost 50 visits with my initial physical therapist this was very impressive. Galina Architector also treated my headaches and now I rarely need to take the pain medication prescribed by my neurologist.

WOW! What a wonderful day when I first met you, Galina and experienced your expertise as a Therapist. Your up beat attitude and your diligence in teaching this body the proper way move has made my life wonderful. Especially my broken arm which is back to normal - when two doctors told me I would not be able to comb my hair with the right arm again. You changed all of that and the arm is as good as new.

"Galina is patient, knowledgeable and friendly. Her in-office treatments, and the simple at-home exercises she suggested, were very helpful for my frozen shoulder problem. I would recommend her to anyone who needs physical therapy."
- Jim Dawson

"I have been going to the Disability Rehab Center for EEG Neurofeedback. This experience has been enlightening and I have learned a lot from monitoring my brainwaves and learning how to control my different emotional states by controlling my brain waves. It sounds far out, but it is really very useful, especially in high stress situations or situations where a lot of patience is needed. It has also helped my sleep patterns and headaches.

Galina is a caring professional. I truly appreciate her care and her knowledge. Galina is fully dedicated to healing the whole person, not just giving a prescription or getting patients in and out. In many doctors' offices, I feel I am being rushed in and out. I don't feel that way at the Disability Rehab Center. My time is just as precious as their time, which I appreciate.

I highly recommend the Disability Rehab Center whether it is for Biofeedback or Neurofeedback."
