Is Your Independence Being Affected by a Neurological Condition?
We Can Help!
Neurological conditions can profoundly impact your life, often making the simplest of daily tasks appear challenging. You may not be alone in this struggle, but at PT Unlimited, your recovery journey should be unique and personalized.
According to the World Health Organization, around one billion people, or 13.46% of the world’s population, suffer from neurological disorders globally. The conditions can range from common headaches, epilepsy, stroke, and Parkinson’s disease to more severe forms like multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s. Age is a significant factor; it’s estimated that the number of people aged 60 and above with neurological disorders increases by about 2% yearly.
The consequences of neurological disorders can be severe, leading to physical dysfunction and reduced quality of life. For instance, Parkinson’s disease typically progresses from mild tremors to significant physical impairment over several years. Similarly, stroke survivors often face difficulties with movement and coordination.
However, the silver lining is that physical therapy can help. We utilize evidence-based practices to aid patients with neurological conditions. Our therapists are skilled in restoring function, improving mobility, and even slowing disease progression.
Physical therapy offers a variety of treatments designed to help those with neurological conditions. For instance, gait training can help patients improve their walking, while balance exercises can prevent falls. Strength and mobility exercises can help improve function.
At PT Unlimited, we’re passionate about helping our patients regain their independence. We understand how neurological conditions can make life more challenging, but we’re here to provide the care and support needed to navigate these challenges.
Common Neurological Conditions
Neurological conditions involve disorders affecting our brain, spinal cord, and the network of nerves interconnecting these vital body parts. Living with a neurological condition can be challenging, but improvement and rehabilitation are possible with the right care and guidance. Physical therapy at PT Unlimited is crucial in managing and overcoming these common neurological conditions, helping individuals regain control, function, and independence.
Common Neurological Conditions Treated By Physical Therapy include the following:
- Stroke: A stroke occurs when blood flow to an area of the brain is interrupted, often leading to physical and cognitive impairments. Physical therapy assists stroke survivors in regaining strength, balance, coordination, and mobility.
- Parkinson’s Disease: This progressive neurological disorder affects movement control, causing symptoms like tremors, stiffness, and balance issues. Physical therapists use tailored exercise programs to slow disease progression and improve mobility.
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS): MS is a chronic condition affecting the central nervous system, causing a wide range of symptoms like fatigue, difficulty walking, and coordination problems. Physical therapy helps manage these symptoms and improve quality of life.
Living with a neurological condition doesn’t mean putting life on hold. At our physical therapy clinic, we are committed to providing you with personalized treatment plans designed to meet your unique needs. Our experienced therapists are trained to guide you every step of the way.

Embrace Your Journey to Better Health at PT Unlimited
Our dedicated physical therapists are committed to empowering you with renewed strength, mobility, and confidence. At PT Unlimited, we start with a thorough and comprehensive evaluation of your current health status. Our medical history review provides vital details about your past illnesses, surgeries, medications, and lifestyle, clearly showing your health.
Next, we’ll concentrate on recovering functional mobility utilizing scientifically supported and tested approaches identified through tailored assessments, including but not limited to NDT, PNF, and FES.
- Neurodevelopmental Techniques (NDT): This approach targets improving motor responses and managing postural control. By training the body to use healthier movement patterns, it fosters better balance and coordination.
- Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF): A hands-on approach, PNF uses stretching and muscle contraction to improve muscle flexibility, strength, and coordination. It’s particularly effective for stroke recovery and Parkinson’s disease.
- Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES): Here, low-level electrical impulses stimulate the nerves, helping improve muscle function in conditions like stroke, MS, or spinal cord injuries.
Remember, each treatment plan is as unique as the individual it’s tailored for, ensuring it matches your personal goals, needs, and lifestyle.
We take pride in our commitment to excellence, compassionate approach, and unwavering dedication to helping you regain your health and well-being.
