Neurological Physical Therapy
Intensive, neuroplasticity-driven physical therapy designed to restore mobility, manage severe spasticity, and extend independence for complex movement disorders.
Retraining the Brain and Body
Physical therapy in a long-term neurological setting is vastly different from standard orthopedic rehab. When dealing with conditions like Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, or post-stroke hemiparesis, the goal is leveraging neuroplasticity—helping the nervous system forge new neural pathways to bypass damaged areas.
\nAs a premier provider of inpatient neurological physical therapy in Cincinnati, our Doctors of Physical Therapy (DPTs) work exclusively with advanced motor deficits. Whether the focus is aggressive restorative gait training or establishing a comfortable baseline to prevent contractures, we optimize the physical potential of every resident.
Core Interventions
- Neuro-developmental treatment (NDT)
- Gait and balance retraining with harness systems
- Advanced spasticity and tone management
- Wheelchair seating and positioning clinics
- Fall prevention and transfer training
Targeted Neurological Interventions
Our in-house therapists do not offer generic rehabilitation. Every protocol is specifically mapped to the progression of conditions like MS, ALS, Huntington's, and profound strokes.
Stroke Recovery (CVA)
Intensive, repetitive task-specific training to combat hemiplegia and restore functional mobility in affected limbs.
Parkinson's Mobility
Implementing rhythmic auditory stimulation and large-amplitude movement therapies to counteract freezing of gait and bradykinesia.
Wheelchair Integration
Frequent, deeply customized wheelchair seating evaluations to ensure maximum posture support, pressure relief, and independent respiratory function.
Equipped for Maximum Success
Our expansive, on-site rehabilitation gym features cutting-edge neuro-rehab technology, including partial body-weight supported treadmill systems, functional electrical stimulation (FES) cycles, and customized standing frames. We do not outsource our equipment; everything needed to push the boundaries of physical recovery is located permanently inside The Beechwood Home.
