What is neurological rehabilitation? 

Neurological rehabilitation involves specific activities to help improve the function and vitality of the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). 

​

What diagnoses do you treat? 

I treat a wide range of diagnoses including, but not limited to:

•      Stroke

•      Traumatic brain injury

•      Concussion and post concussive syndrome                                                                          

•      Vertigo and dizziness

•      Migraines and headaches 

•      Balance disorders

•      Spinal cord injury

•      Parkinsons                                                                         

•      Multiple Sclerosis                                                                                                                                                          

•      Developmental delay                                                                            

•      ADHD/ADD 

•      Sensory processing disorder (SPD)

•      Problems with muscular tone (high or low) 

                                                                                           

What would an evaluation or treatment session consist of? 

I believe one of the most important factors of any treatment is teamwork.  During the evaluation, I will spend time discussing with the patient their symptoms and goals for therapy to enable them to be as independent as possible. This process occasionally includes family members. I will then assess strength, mobility, flexibility, functional limitations, movement patterns, and balance. Together, we assess the results to form a treatment plan that encourages independence and improved functional mobility. 

 

Treatment sessions are typically an hour long and could include: therapeutic exercise, vestibular rehabilitation, balance activities, neurological re-education of movement and activity patterns, gait training with the use of specialized therapy equipment, craniosacral therapy, compensatory techniques if needed, and assessment for bracing.
