What Functional Neurology and Brain Health Look At

Functional neurology looks at how your nervous system is working, including patterns of brain activity, regulation, and how your brain and body communicate. At Inspiring Choices, this starts with a QEEG brain mapping assessment, which produces a detailed map of your individual brain wave patterns.

People come to us for brain health support across a wide spectrum, from professionals exploring focus and sleep, to people working through stress and overwhelm, to families seeking a thorough brain-based assessment. Your initial consultation with Rustam Yumash walks you through what is involved and whether the approach is a good fit for your situation.

What a QEEG Brain Mapping Assessment Actually Involves

Quantitative EEG, or QEEG, is a non-invasive assessment tool that measures and maps electrical activity across different regions of the brain. At Inspiring Choices, QEEG is conducted by Rustam Yumash, a practitioner with over 20 years of clinical experience implementing electroencephalography in Australia, including work under the mentoring of Professor Juri Kropotov from the Human Brain Institute. The assessment produces a detailed map of your brain's activity patterns, which forms the objective foundation for any neurotherapy program recommended for your individual circumstances.

Neurotherapy and Neurofeedback at Our Clear Island Waters Clinic

Neurotherapy at Inspiring Choices draws on Infra Low Frequency Neurofeedback, a methodology developed by Sue and Siegfried Othmer that Rustam Yumash has been practising for over 12 years. Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, brain-based approach that works by providing the brain with real-time information about its own activity, supporting regulation and stability over time. Sessions are conducted at our Clear Island Waters clinic and are tailored to the individual patterns identified in your QEEG assessment, rather than applied as a generalised program.

Integrated With the Broader Inspiring Choices Clinical Team

Brain health and functional neurology services at Inspiring Choices do not operate in isolation from the rest of our clinical team. Rustam works alongside Dr Reza Samvat, whose chiropractic care is grounded in functional neurology principles, as well as our naturopath, holistic counsellors, and other practitioners at the clinic. This means your brain health program can be coordinated with other modalities available at Inspiring Choices where relevant to your individual circumstances, and your treating team is working from a complete picture of your health rather than in isolation from each other.

Frequently Asked Questions About Functional Neurology and Brain Health

What is functional neurology and how does it differ from conventional neurology?
Functional neurology is an approach that examines how the nervous system is functioning, rather than looking solely for structural disease or pathology. It considers patterns of brain and nervous system activity and how those patterns may be contributing to a person's presenting concerns. At Inspiring Choices on the Gold Coast, our functional neurology approach is informed by Dr Reza Samvat's chiropractic training and Rustam Yumash's extensive experience in brain-based assessment, including QEEG mapping and neurofeedback. Rather than diagnosing neurological disease, functional neurology looks at how the nervous system is regulating and communicating, and what interventions may support improved function. If you would like to understand more about how this approach applies to your individual circumstances, our team at Clear Island Waters is happy to discuss this before you book.
What is QEEG brain mapping and what does the assessment involve?
QEEG, or Quantitative Electroencephalography, is a non-invasive assessment that measures and maps electrical activity across different regions of the brain. Small sensors are placed on the scalp to record brain wave patterns, which are then analysed to produce a detailed map of how different areas of the brain are functioning relative to established norms. At Inspiring Choices in Clear Island Waters, QEEG assessments are conducted by Rustam Yumash, who has over 20 years of clinical experience implementing EEG in Australia, including experience under the mentoring of Professor Juri Kropotov from the Human Brain Institute. The assessment forms the objective foundation for any neurotherapy program recommended for your individual circumstances. Your practitioner will walk you through what the assessment involves and what to expect before your appointment.
What is neurofeedback and what does a session involve?
Neurofeedback is a non-invasive, brain-based approach in which the brain receives real-time information about its own electrical activity, supporting self-regulation over time. At Inspiring Choices, Rustam Yumash uses Infra Low Frequency Neurofeedback, a methodology he has been practising for over 12 years. Sessions are conducted at our Clear Island Waters clinic and are tailored to the individual patterns identified in your QEEG assessment. Your practitioner will explain exactly what each session involves and what to expect before your program begins. The number of sessions and the specific protocol used are determined by your individual assessment rather than applied as a generalised program.
Do I need a QEEG assessment before starting neurotherapy?
In most cases, yes. The QEEG assessment provides the objective foundation for understanding your individual brain activity patterns, which informs the neurotherapy protocol recommended for your circumstances. At Inspiring Choices, we do not apply a generalised neurofeedback program without that individual assessment in place first. If you have questions about whether an assessment is necessary for your situation, our team at the Gold Coast clinic is happy to discuss this with you before you book.
How many neurotherapy sessions will I need?
The number of sessions depends on your individual circumstances and the patterns identified in your QEEG assessment, which is why we do not prescribe a fixed program before completing that foundation. Your practitioner will discuss what a realistic program looks like for your situation at your initial consultation, based on what the assessment reveals. Progress is reviewed over time and your program is adjusted as needed in response to how you are responding. Our team communicates across disciplines at the clinic, so any relevant updates can be incorporated into your broader care plan where appropriate.
Can brain health services be accessed alongside other services at Inspiring Choices?
Yes, and the integrated nature of our clinic at Clear Island Waters is one of its key strengths. Functional neurology and neurotherapy services can be coordinated alongside hyperbaric oxygen therapy, naturopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, IV therapy, and other modalities available at the clinic. Because Dr Reza's chiropractic approach is itself grounded in functional neurology principles, there is a natural alignment between the brain health services and the broader clinical team at Inspiring Choices. Your initial consultation is the best opportunity to discuss how the available services might work together for your individual circumstances.
