Do You Need Neurological Therapy from FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers - Woodlands, TX?

PT for Neurologic Therapy treats patients with conditions that affect their brain or spinal cord, like strokes, spinal cord injuries, or Parkinson’s disease. The goal is to help increase or maintain function as much as possible.

If you need PT for Neurologic Therapy, your physical therapist will develop a customized treatment program for you. The therapist checks your muscle strength, range of motion, flexibility, coordination, reflexes, and muscle tone. They also check cognitive functions and sensations to determine the extent your neurological condition impacts your life. 

You’ll also have your ability to transition from one position to another assessed. Your physical therapist will see how you move from sitting to standing, lying down to sitting, and vice versa. Some patients begin needing assistance for these movements. The goal of your neurological therapy is to give you as much independence as possible. 

The initial evaluation also includes assessing your gait and balance. Neurological tests examine your coordination, your ability to follow moving objects with your eyes, touch your finger to your nose, and rapidly alternate movements.
