Neurological rehabilitation improves the quality of life for individuals with movement dysfunction resulting from a neurological disease or injury such as a stroke, degenerative disease, traumatic brain injury, or spinal cord injury. Physical therapy for these conditions is designed to return you to the highest level of function and independence possible – physically, emotionally, and socially.
Each treatment plan is unique and individualized. We complete a thorough examination to identify impairments and then prioritized them in order of their relevance to your activity limitations and participation restrictions. We utilize skilled, hands-on techniques to improve your symptoms and mobility. We are extremely precise and thorough in our prescription of stretching and strengthening. By restoring more normal movement patterns, we are able to help you maximize your potential. Your rehabilitation program might include:
- help with activities of daily living like eating, bathing, dressing, toileting, basic housekeeping, cooking, and writing
- gait and stair training
- balance training
- pain management
- education regarding safety and independence at home and in the community
- education regarding community resources such as assistive devices, durable medical equipment, or support groups
We collaborate care with other involved healthcare providers, including but not limited to neurologists, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, counselors, and social workers.
