The Hydrogen to My Oxygen…

We are sticking with the element theme.  For now…  In 116 posts, I am going to have to figure out what to do because I will be out of elements and we all know I have more than 116 things to talk about.  But also – I don’t know all of the elements and while […]

Elements of Care…

Hi.  I’m Robin, the owner and lead clinician at Synapse NeuroReLab… I’ve never tried blogging, so give me a touch of grace as I navigate my way through this first ever post.  I was trying to find a fun way to identify the basics of what I do and make it relatable.  But, instead I […]

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH),
“Neurorehabilitation is the medical process that aims to aid recovery of functioning from a central nervous system lesion or injury, thus improving resulting functional deficits.”
At SNR, the focus of neurological rehabilitation is to improve quality of life and function for people with neurologically based deficits.  In short, we do therapy to help the brain work better and smarter.

About Robin

Robin received her undergraduate degree in Spanish and master’s degree in Communication Sciences and Disorders at Rockhurst University. She is currently working on her clinical doctorate (SLPD) through KU. She has been an American Speech-Language Hearing Association certified clinician since 2008. She is licensed in the states of Missouri and Kansas and is also a Certified Brain Injury Specialist.
Her area of clinical expertise is neurological rehabilitation in pediatric patients, but she has also worked extensively across the lifespan. She created the concept for SNR because she wanted to be a part of a true, patient-centered company.
Synapse NeuroReLab, LLC was created in 2022 by Robin Miller-Gioia. An intense advocate for her patients in neurological rehabilitation, Robin wanted to develop a program that would encourage more interdisciplinary care and innovation for children, adolescents and young adults with neurological deficits and disorders as well create a network of clinical expertise to support each individual patient. While we are at the very start of our journey, SNR has high hopes to improve the quality of care for individuals, improve equity in healthcare delivery, and provide person-centered growth and support as the patient transitions back into their community.
There is always going to be paperwork, productivity standards, and a plethora of things that contribute to a business, but before we are companies or workers, we are people. In healthcare, the patient oftentimes gets lost in all the plans and doesn’t get what is needed because we are throwing all the things at them and not listening to what they need.
In starting SNR, Robin hopes to bring about change, even if it is small, to remind people that they are worth the time and effort.
Robin was born and raised in the heart of Kansas City. While she loves to travel, her heart and home are here. She loves to spend time with her husband and two magical, creative, awesome children. In her spare time she loves plants and flowers, reading in her hammock, watching soccer, kayaking and playing with her dogs.

What is a synapse?

A synapse is the moment in the brain where two neurons connect and pass messages to each other. We create these as we learn and grow throughout our lifetimes. These synapses create the thoughts, the movements, and actions that we need to complete basic life functions. 

In naming the company Synapse NeuroReLab (SNR), We aim to provide the connection to improve the quality of life for our patients and families by utilizing a combination of therapeutic techniques and tools. The goal of SNR is to provide intelligent, comprehensive, and compassionate care that helps foster growth and independence.
