Living with a neurological disorder can significantly impact daily activities and independence. At Capstone Physical Therapy & Fitness, we specialize in helping patients with neurological conditions regain function, improve mobility, and enhance their quality of life through specialized physical therapy interventions.
Understanding Neurological Physical Therapy
Neurological physical therapy is a specialized approach that addresses movement problems caused by disorders of the nervous system. These conditions may include:
- Stroke
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
- Spinal Cord Injuries
- Balance Disorders
- Peripheral Neuropathy
Our Approach at Capstone
At Capstone, we understand that each neurological condition presents unique challenges. Our experienced therapists develop personalized treatment plans that adapt to each patient’s specific needs and goals.

Comprehensive Assessment

Personalized Treatment Strategies
Based on our assessment, we implement targeted interventions that may include:
- Gait Training We focus on improving walking patterns and stability using specialized equipment and techniques. This may involve body-weight supported treadmill training or assistance devices to help patients regain confidence in their mobility.
- Balance and Coordination Exercises Custom exercises help improve stability and reduce fall risk. We incorporate both static and dynamic balance activities to challenge and strengthen these essential skills.
- Functional Training We practice real-world activities that matter most to our patients, from basic movements like transfers to more complex tasks like climbing stairs or carrying objects.
- Neuroplasticity-Based Interventions Our therapists utilize techniques that promote neural adaptation and recovery, helping the brain and nervous system create new pathways for movement and function.
