Neurologic Physical Therapy Education & Consulting
Practical education for clinicians caring for patients with neurologic conditions
Neurologic rehabilitation requires specialized clinical reasoning and an understanding of how examination findings translate into functional treatment.
We provide customized in-service education and clinical consulting for physical therapy teams who work with patients with neurologic conditions and want to strengthen their clinical skills and confidence.
In-Service Education
Educational sessions are designed around the needs of your team and patient population. Sessions can range from focused clinical topics to broader approaches to neurologic examination and treatment.
Potential topics include:
Neurologic examination and clinical reasoning
Treatment planning for complex neurologic patients
Gait and balance assessment and treatment
Comprehensive Vestibular Exam and treatment
Exercise prescription for neurologic populations
Complications for Spinal Cord Injury across settings
Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation
High intensity Stroke rehabilitation
Considerations for Multiple sclerosis
Fall prevention and recovery training
Sessions can be tailored to the experience level of your clinicians and the types of neurologic patients you see.
Clinical Consulting
For teams managing particularly complex neurologic patients, I can provide an outside clinical perspective to help with evaluation, treatment planning, and problem-solving.
Consulting may include:
Review of complex patient cases
Discussion of examination findings and clinical reasoning
Treatment planning and intervention selection
Progression or modification of treatment strategies
Problem-solving barriers to functional improvement
The goal is to provide practical, evidence-informed guidance that clinicians can apply directly to their patients.
Who I Work With
These services may be a good fit for:
Outpatient physical therapy clinics
Acute Care and Inpatient Rehabilitation Facilities
Home health and home-based therapy programs
Skilled nursing and senior care organizations
Practices looking to strengthen their neurologic rehabilitation services
Customized for Your Team
Every practice has different patients, challenges, and educational needs. In-service sessions can be customized to your team rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum.
If your team would benefit from additional education or clinical support in neurologic physical therapy, I'd be happy to discuss your needs and develop a session that fits your practice. Pricing tailored based on need.
Neurologic Rehabilitation Guidance for Families
Guidance beyond formal therapy
Whether you already have an established care team, live outside the Knoxville area, or aren't quite ready for neurologic rehabilitation and simply have questions, I'm here to help.
A new neurologic diagnosis or injury can leave families unsure of what comes next. What type of therapy is needed? How do you find the right providers? What questions should you be asking? Is the current rehabilitation plan meeting your loved one's needs?
With a strong background in neurologic physical therapy and public health, I provide guidance to help families better understand the rehabilitation process and navigate the healthcare system with greater confidence.
Guidance may include:
Understanding the neurologic rehabilitation process
Preparing for medical and therapy appointments
Understanding rehabilitation recommendations and terminology
Navigating transitions between hospital, inpatient rehabilitation, outpatient therapy, and home
Identifying questions or concerns to bring to your care team
Discussing home and community needs following neurologic injury

My goal is to give families an experienced neurologic rehabilitation professional they can turn to when they need help understanding what comes next and knowing what questions to ask.
