Stroke & Parkinson's Rehabilitation
Neurological rehab to rebuild strength, balance and walking after a stroke, and to keep you moving with Parkinson's disease.
After a stroke, the brain can relearn movement through focused, repetitive practice. With Parkinson’s disease, regular exercise helps maintain the strength, flexibility and balance the condition tends to take away.
Our therapists build programs around your goals — walking safely, getting in and out of the car, playing with grandkids — and adjust them as you progress. We keep your trunk and legs strong and flexible while targeting the areas each condition affects most.
