Improve mobility, balance, and independence with neurologic physical therapy at Apto Physical Therapy. We provide personalized, one-on-one care for individuals with conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system—helping you move more confidently and function more independently in daily life.

Conditions We Treat

Neurologic physical therapy addresses a wide range of conditions, including:

  • Stroke and post-stroke recovery

  • Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative conditions

  • Spinal cord injury

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Multiple sclerosis

  • Balance disorders and fall risk

  • Dizziness and vertigo (including BPPV)

  • Vestibular dysfunction

  • Autonomic dysfunction (including POTS and orthostatic intolerance)

A Whole-Body, Nervous System Approach

Neurologic physical therapy focuses on how the brain and nervous system communicate with the body to control movement, balance, and coordination.

Your care begins with a comprehensive evaluation that looks at:

  • Balance and coordination

  • Gait and mobility

  • Strength and movement patterns

  • Vestibular (inner ear) function

  • Nervous system responses to movement and position changes

Because neurologic conditions often affect multiple systems, we take a whole-body approach to identify the key factors limiting your function and independence.

Our Approach to Treatment

Treatment is highly individualized and designed to improve function, reduce symptoms, and build confidence with movement.

Your plan of care may include:

  • Balance and fall prevention training

  • Gait and mobility retraining

  • Vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness and vertigo

  • Strength and endurance training

  • Coordination and motor control exercises

  • Graded exposure to movement and positional changes

Dizziness, Vertigo & Autonomic Dysfunction

We also specialize in treating dizziness, vertigo, and symptoms related to autonomic nervous system dysfunction.

These symptoms may include:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness

  • Feeling off-balance or unsteady

  • Brain fog

  • Difficulty tolerating position changes

Treatment focuses on improving how your body responds to movement and changes in position through targeted vestibular therapy, graded exposure, and nervous system retraining—helping you feel more stable and in control.

Focused on Independence and Confidence

Our goal is to help you move more safely, reduce fall risk, and improve your ability to participate in daily activities.

Whether you are recovering from an injury or managing a progressive condition, we work with you to build strength, improve function, and support long-term independence.
