A neurologic physical therapist specializes in the evaluation and treatment of individuals with movement problems due to disease or injury of the nervous system. Through expert knowledge of anatomy, physiology, neuroplasticity, kinesiology, and exercise physiology, your physical therapist will develop a treatment plan especially for you. Common impairments treated by a physical therapist include:
- Weakness
- Limited range of motion
- Muscle spasms
- Postural malalignments
- Disequilibrium
- Loss of coordination
- Fatigue
- Limited endurance
Through targeted treatment interventions and the latest in rehabilitative technology, your physical therapist will be able to help you function more independently at home and in the community. Examples of functional goals include walking at home and in the community, returning to the classroom or to the office, navigating a busy shopping mall, climbing up and down movie theater steps, or participating previously enjoyed recreational activities.
