PT for Brain Injury

 According to the National Institute of Health, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) costs the country more than $56 billion a year and more than 5 million Americans have a permanent need for help in performing daily activities resulting from a TBI. Survivors are often left with significant cognitive, functional, behavioral, and communicative disabilities, and some patients develop long-term medical complications. A physical therapist trained in neurological rehab can help to navigate the physical and cognitive changes and improve one’s abilities. 

 

Ability Rehab specializes in neurological therapies, including those for TBI.  Our highly-skilled therapists will develop an individualized program to improve independence and mobility over time. We incorporate exercises to improve or adapt the patient's ability to sit, stand and walk while maintaining balance and equilibrium. Compensatory strategies to address limitations in visual feedback may also be required, as well as targeted exercises to improve the strength of the trunk, pelvis, and lower extremities. Whether the injury happened 5 days ago or 5 years ago we can help.
