How ARK Physical Therapy Treats Neurological Disorders

At ARK Physical Therapy, we combine advanced techniques, state-of-the-art technology, and compassionate care to create a rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s needs.

1. Comprehensive Evaluation

Our therapists perform a detailed assessment to understand the unique challenges posed by your condition:

  • Strength and range of motion testing.
  • Balance and coordination assessments.
  • Gait and mobility analysis.
  • Neurological function evaluation.

2. Customized Treatment Plans

We develop individualized programs designed to improve mobility, strength, and overall quality of life.

3. Balance and Coordination Training

For patients with balance or coordination challenges, we use targeted exercises to improve stability and reduce the risk of falls.

4. Strengthening and Mobility Exercises

We focus on rebuilding strength and restoring functional movement patterns through:

  • Resistance exercises tailored to your abilities.
  • Range of motion exercises to enhance flexibility.
  • Functional task training to support daily activities.

5. Gait Training

For those with difficulty walking, we use gait training techniques to improve stride, posture, and endurance.

6. Neuromuscular Re-Education

This process helps retrain the nervous system and improve the connection between the brain and muscles, facilitating smoother, more controlled movements.

7. Advanced Modalities for Pain and Spasticity

We use cutting-edge therapies to manage pain, reduce spasticity, and promote healing:

  • Electrical Stimulation (E-Stim): To activate muscles and enhance motor control.
  • Therapeutic Ultrasound: For deep tissue healing and pain relief.
  • Shockwave Therapy: To treat chronic conditions and improve mobility.

8. Assistive Device Training

If necessary, we guide patients in the use of mobility aids such as walkers, canes, or braces to maximize independence and safety.

9. Education and Support

We empower patients and their families with tools, exercises, and strategies for managing their condition at home and preventing complications.
