A neurological physical therapist specializes in treating movement difficulties related to an injury or condition affecting the nervous system. At Knox Physical Therapy, our team assesses your unique situation to develop the best plan of care for your needs. The goal is to restore as much function as possible, helping you regain independence and move more freely.
Neuro therapy is a non-invasive method that analyzes brain activity to determine how it may be changed to improve function. An EEG can be used to measure activity and create brain maps. Neurological therapists help identify areas that need work, while physical therapy helps carry out targeted activities that can support function and independence after neurological injury.
Physical therapy can help slow progression and provide symptom relief by improving flexibility and strength while addressing abnormal gait, freezing, and dystonia.
Rehabilitation can focus on balance, walking, functional skills, and the use of assistive devices. Approaches may include functional electrical stimulation, body-weight support, and biofeedback.
Targeted stretches can help ease muscle spasms, while exercises and activity training work to improve strength, range of motion, balance, and movement.
Although there is no cure for ALS, rehabilitation can help maintain function and independence, support safety, and guide the use of canes, walkers, wheelchairs, braces, and other adaptive equipment.
Our physical therapists work closely with neurological experts to provide care tailored to your symptoms and physical goals. Treatment may help improve function, support balance and mobility, and reduce the risk of secondary complications such as fall-related injuries.
