NEUROLOGICAL REHAB at Taylor & Thornburg Physical Therapy in Oakland, CA
Neurological physical therapy is a specialized type of physical therapy that helps people with conditions affecting the nervous system, such as brain or spinal cord injuries, improve their mobility, balance, and strength.
Our creative neurological physical therapists will carefully evaluate where your problem areas are and come up with fun and innovative ways for you to work on your specific neurological problems.
Our goal is to improve your quality of life by helping you regain function and resume daily tasks. We help you with muscle strength, range of motion, endurance, balance, coordination and stability. Treatment may include exercises, walking, balance training, and task-specific training. We may include other techniques such as manual therapy, taping, bracing, visual processing, or other modalities as appropriate.
Common neurological problems we work with are:
- Nerve and pain disorders
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Gait and balance disorders
- Headaches
- Parkinson’s disease
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Stroke / CVA (cerebrovascular accident)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Spinal cord injuries
- Sciatica and radiculopathies
- Concussions
Setting both short and long-term goals is an important component of neurological rehabilitation, and our therapists will work with you and your family to set and achieve these goals.
Be prepared for a fun and creative experience. We have an overhead rail and harness system (Safety Overhead Support system – SOS) that allows you to challenge your balance and gait without the fear of falling.
We are able to create and simulate experiences related to balance and gait that may be part of your neurological problem so that you are best able to navigate them safely in your environment.
