Neurological disorders

The nervous system is a complex system that regulates all bodily functions. When affected by disease or injury, it can lead to difficulties in movement, speech, swallowing, breathing, learning, memory, or even mood.

A neurologic physical therapist specializes in evaluating and treating movement problems caused by neurological conditions. Physical therapy can help restore mobility, improve function, and prevent disability, offering an alternative to surgery or medication for many conditions.

By blending science and personalized care, physical therapy empowers patients to manage their health, regain independence, and achieve long-term benefits.
