Neurological Physical Therapy

Neurological rehabilitation is a specialized area of physical therapy focused on helping individuals who have experienced damage to the nervous system—whether from injury, illness, or progressive disease. The goal is to restore as much movement, function, and independence as possible while improving safety, confidence, and quality of life.

This type of therapy is tailored to each individual’s needs and can be life-changing for people recovering from strokes, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and chronic neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis.

Using a combination of hands-on techniques, balance training, strength exercises, and task-specific re-training, neurological rehab focuses on:

​

• Restoring motor control and movement coordination

• Improving balance, walking, and mobility

• Rewiring the brain and nervous system through neuroplasticity

• Teaching compensatory strategies when full recovery isn't possible

• Preventing secondary complications such as contractures, falls, or deconditioning

​

Neurological physical therapy can help individuals with a wide range of conditions, including:

• Stroke (CVA or TIA)

• Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders

• Multiple sclerosis (MS)

• Traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussion

• Spinal cord injury (SCI)

• Peripheral neuropathy

• Cerebral palsy

• Vestibular disorders (dizziness, vertigo, imbalance)

• Post-COVID neurological symptoms or deconditioning
