Neurologic Physical Therapy

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

Autonomic Dysfunction

We specialize in treating dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system—the system responsible for regulating heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, and your body’s response to stress and activity.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Lightheadedness or dizziness

  • Brain fog

  • Difficulty tolerating position changes (e.g., sitting to standing)

  • Post-exertional fatigue or malaise

  • Persistent fatigue or exercise intolerance

Treatment focuses on improving how your body responds to movement, position changes, and physical stress. This may include targeted vestibular therapy, graded exercise and activity exposure, and nervous system retraining strategies to help improve tolerance, reduce symptoms, and restore a sense of stability and 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.
