Neuro Rehabilitation Services

Our therapists have specialized certifications to treat a wide range of neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, stroke, musculoskeletal problems or neurological impairments. We may also work with you during neurosurgery or neurological injury recovery.

We offer many specialized services, including:

Balance and gait training

Many neurological conditions affect your balance and walking abilities. We use multiple tools, such as the Bertec balance system, Solo-Step and LiteGait devices, to help you improve your balance and gait. These systems use sophisticated harnesses, treadmills and overhead tracks to help you improve your strength and mobility without risking a fall.

LSVT therapy

Most of our neuro rehabilitation therapists are certified in LSVT therapy, a treatment specifically designed for people with Parkinson’s disease. The modalities include:

LSVT LOUD^®, a speech therapy technique that helps people with Parkinson’s to speak at a louder volume and use a stronger voice.
LSVT BIG^®, a technique that uses physical and occupational therapy to help people with Parkinson’s improve walking abilities, balance and fine motor skills.

LSVT therapy has helped people in all stages of Parkinson’s disease improve their speaking, balance and mobility. This specialized therapy can help you increase your function and maintain independence for longer. Beginning therapy early often leads to the best results, but LSVT can bring significant benefits even for people in later stages of the disease.

Stroke rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is important for stroke recovery. We have a team of therapists certified in stroke rehabilitation to help you improve skills that may have been affected by a stroke.

Doctors typically recommend stroke rehabilitation for all patients during recovery. These therapies have been shown to improve speech, movement, motor skills and strength. Participating in a stroke rehab program can help you participate in your daily activities and regain independence.
