What is Neurological Physical Therapy?
Neurological physical therapy, also called neuro physical therapy or neuro rehab, is a specialized form of physical therapy for people whose movement has been affected by an injury, disease, or disorder of the nervous system.
The nervous system controls movement, balance, coordination, strength, sensation, posture, and walking. When the brain, spinal cord, or nerves are affected, a person may experience weakness, difficulty walking, poor balance, dizziness, changes in coordination, muscle tightness, falls, fatigue, or reduced independence.
A neurological physical therapist evaluates how your condition affects your movement and creates an individualized treatment plan to help improve function, safety, and quality of life.
