NEUROLOGICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy for neurological conditions is different from treating a sprained ankle or other orthopedic injury. Neurological rehabilitation involves injuries, disease, and problems related to the brain and central nervous system. In physical therapy the goal is to achieve maximal, independent level of function through strengthening, range of motion, coordination and balance training as well as functional activities.
