Neurological Physical Therapy: Understanding Neurological Physical Therapy
Neurological Physical Therapy focuses on individuals who have movement problems related to diseases or injuries of the nervous system. Conditions commonly treated include stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Our goal is to help patients improve their functional abilities and quality of life through personalized treatment plans.
What to Expect in Neurological PT
- Comprehensive Evaluation Our process begins with a thorough assessment to understand the patient’s condition, limitations, and goals. This includes: – Medical history review – Physical examination – Functional movement analysis – Cognitive and perceptual testing
-
Customized Treatment Plans Based on the evaluation, we develop a tailored treatment plan that addresses specific needs and goals. Treatment may include:
- Therapeutic Exercises: – Strengthening weakened muscles – Improving coordination and balance – Enhancing cardiovascular health
- Functional Training: – Practicing everyday activities (e.g., walking, transferring, dressing) – Task-specific training to improve independence
- Balance and Coordination Exercises: – Balance retraining – Gait training – Fall prevention strategies
- Neuromuscular Re-education: – Techniques to retrain the nervous system to improve movement patterns
- Assistive Device Training: – Proper use of canes, walkers, and wheelchairs – Use of adaptive equipment for daily activities
- Patient and Family Education: – Teaching strategies to manage symptoms at home – Involving family members in the rehabilitation process to ensure support and continuity
- Ongoing Support and Progress Tracking Rehabilitation is a journey, and we are committed to supporting our patients every step of the way. We regularly monitor progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and provide ongoing encouragement and motivation
