Neurological Rehabilitation

Our specialists offer physical and occupational therapy while you recover from a brain tumor, stroke or brain injury. Services include:

Brain tumors

Physical therapy will focus on improving your strength, balance and mobility, which you’ll need for tasks like getting out of bed and walking.

Your therapist will determine whether you will need adaptive equipment such as a walker or a reacher. Additionally, we often provide education about your care to your family members or caregivers.
