Frequently Asked Questions About Neurologic Therapy Services

Neurologic therapy helps people with problems caused by conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, brain injuries, or multiple sclerosis. Physical Therapy (PT) helps with moving and balance, Occupational Therapy (OT) focuses on daily tasks like dressing or cooking, and Speech-Language Pathology (SLP) helps with speaking, swallowing, and thinking skills. If you or a loved one has trouble walking, using your hands, or speaking due to a neurologic condition, we’re here to help.
If you have trouble doing things like walking, talking, swallowing, or using your hands after an injury or illness, neurologic therapy could help. A doctor can refer you to our team, and we’ll create a plan just for you. Therapy is a great way to improve your strength, independence, and confidence.
Each session is tailored to your needs. In Physical Therapy, you might work on walking, balance, or exercises to get stronger. In Occupational Therapy, you might practice skills like buttoning a shirt, cooking, or using adaptive tools.
