The goal of neurological rehabilitation is to maximize your independence and improve your quality of life.
Even with effective neurological rehab physical therapy, some conditions never fully resolve, so we aim to prevent worsening and regain some lost abilities. Many patients notice an improvement in only a few neurologic rehabilitation physical therapy sessions. The treatment plan will include a series of regular sessions with your physical therapist to ensure results are long-lasting and the body adapts to the improvements to reduce the risk of relapse.
Our knowledgeable and compassionate physical therapists will work with you to:
- Alleviate your pain
- Restore normal movement and function
- Improve your balance and coordination
- Increase your range of motion
Help you perform activities of daily living such as eating, dressing, bathing, grooming, using the toilet, handwriting, cooking, and basic housekeeping.
Setting both short and long-term goals is an important component of neurological rehab, and our therapists will work with you and your family to set and achieve these goals.
