Outpatient Neurological Physical Therapy

PT can help individuals with movement disorders improve their balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and improving overall mobility.

PT can help individuals with movement disorders build strength in specific muscle groups that may be affected by their disorder, such as the arms, legs, and core muscles.

PT can help improve flexibility, which is essential for individuals with movement disorders who may struggle with rigid or restricted movements.

PT can help individuals with movement disorders reduce spasms and tremors by improving muscle control and reducing tension in affected muscles.

PT can help individuals with movement disorders improve their gait by addressing any issues with balance, coordination, and muscle control.

Body weight supported exercise has been proven to be highly effective to improve walking distance and balance, while reducing fatigue and pain with treadmill walking. Our Pneu-Weight unweighting system also allows for functional exercise and training without the fear of losing your balance.

Parkinson's disease is a progressive condition that affects movement, causing symptoms such as tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement and difficulty with balance (each of these is known as a “motor” symptom). FastBack Physical Therapy has multiple resources for people with Parkinson’s including:

• PWR! (Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery)
• Rock Steady Boxing
• Personal Training For PD
• Unweighted Treadmill (harness system)
• Dance for PD
• Urban Poling
• Early Onset Parkinson’s Support Group

Outpatient physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease manage their motor symptoms in several ways:

1. Improving mobility: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease improve their mobility by targeting specific muscles and movements that may be affected by the condition. 
2. Increasing strength: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease increase their strength, which can improve overall function and reduce the risk of falls.
3. Improving balance: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease improve their balance, which can reduce the risk of falls and improve overall mobility.
4. Reducing the effect of tremors: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease reduce the effect of tremors by improving muscle control and reducing tension in affected muscles.
5. Improving coordination: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease improve their coordination and dexterity, which can improve their ability to perform daily activities.
6. Relieving pain: Physical therapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease relieve pain, which is a common symptom of the condition.

Outpatient physical therapy can play a crucial role in managing symptoms of Parkinson's disease while helping to prevent the progression of symptoms. It can help improve mobility, strength, and balance, as well as reduce tremors, improve coordination, and relieve pain. It's important for individuals with Parkinson's disease to work closely with their physical therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals.

Outpatient physical therapy can play a crucial role in the recovery process for individuals who have had a CVA (cerebrovascular accident or stroke). Here are some ways in which physical therapy can help:

1. Improving mobility: Physical therapy can help individuals recover their mobility by working on exercises that target specific movements and muscles affected by the stroke.
2. Increasing strength: Physical therapy can help individuals recover their strength and build muscle mass, which can improve overall function and reduce the risk of falls.
3. Improving balance: Physical therapy can help individuals improve their balance, which can reduce the risk of falls and improve overall mobility.
4. Improving coordination: Physical therapy can help individuals improve their coordination and dexterity, which can improve their ability to perform daily activities.
5. Reducing spasticity: Physical therapy can help individuals reduce spasticity, which can improve their range of motion and reduce pain.

Outpatient physical therapy can play a crucial role in the recovery process for individuals who have had a CVA, even if it happened years ago. It can help improve mobility, strength, balance, and coordination, as well as reduce spasticity. It's important for individuals to work closely with their physical therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that can cause a range of symptoms, including muscle weakness, difficulty with coordination and balance, and fatigue. Outpatient physical therapy can help individuals manage their MS symptoms in several ways:

1. Improving mobility: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS improve their mobility by targeting specific muscles and movements that may be affected by the condition.
2. Increasing strength: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS increase their strength, which can improve overall function and reduce the risk of falls.
3. Improving balance: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS improve their balance, which can reduce the risk of falls and improve overall mobility.
4. Reducing fatigue: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS reduce fatigue by improving energy efficiency and teaching energy-saving strategies.
5. Improving coordination: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS improve their coordination and dexterity, which can improve their ability to perform daily activities.
6. Relieving pain: Physical therapy can help individuals with MS relieve pain, which is a common symptom of the condition.

Outpatient PT can play a crucial role in managing symptoms of multiple sclerosis. It can help improve mobility, strength, and balance, as well as reduce fatigue, improve coordination, and relieve pain. It's important for individuals with MS to work closely with their physical therapist to develop an individualized treatment plan that meets their specific needs and goals.
