What is Neurologic Physical Therapy?
Neurologic physical therapy is the targeted, evidence based rehabilitation that helps people regain or relearn movement, independence, and confidence after neurologic injury or disease — from stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, and beyond.
Why neurologic physical therapy works — and why you’ll love it:
It’s not one-size-fits-all. KnoxNeuroRehab provides individualized treatment plans to fit your goals by assessing how your nervous system is affecting movement, balance, coordination, and function.
It’s brain-focused, not just muscle-focused. KnoxNeuroRehab uses principles of neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to rewire — to retrain movement patterns and improve how your brain controls your body.
It’s measurable progress, not vague promises. Therapists track improvements in walking speed, static and dynamic balance, strength, and daily activities so you see real gains, focusing on what matters most— your goals.
It’s functional and fun. Therapy sessions mimic real-life tasks (walking on different surfaces, climbing stairs, getting on and off the couch) so gains translate into everyday independence — with a little personality and humor mixed in.
What we do for you:
Recovery after stroke: high intensity gait training, specific balance training, upper extremity recovery, and functional tasks using repetition, task-specific, salient practice to maximize your potential.
Falls: “poor balance” is a complaint of many older adults in America today. KnoxNeuroRehab will get to the bottom of WHY you’re falling and develop a plan to reduce falls, as well as practice how to recover from the floor.
Movement disorders (i.e. Parkinson’s Disease): Improve balance, gait, posture, and functional mobility using cueing strategies, high intensity exercise programs, and strategies to reduce freezing. Exercise is one of the best ways to decrease disease progression!
Multiple sclerosis: Tailored programs to manage fatigue, strengthen weakened muscles, improve balance, and maintain independence.
Traumatic brain injury: Improve coordination, balance, strength, and safety awareness to restore daily function and confidence.
Spinal cord injury: Maximize mobility and independence through strengthening, functional training, and adaptive solutions.
Dizziness: KnoxNeuroRehab is dedicated to getting to the bottom of your dizziness. Whether it’s “vertigo”, “lightheadness” or “feeling off”, we know how debilitating this feeling can be. It’s time to get your life back with a targeted treatment program addressing the route cause.
