Welcome to Advanced Neurologic Rehabilitation
Welcome to Advanced Neurologic Rehabilitation, where we specialize in helping people rebuild strength, independence, and confidence after a neurological condition. Our team provides Parkinson’s and stroke rehabilitation using a comprehensive, evidence-based approach. We focus on helping patients stay active at work, at home, and in the activities they enjoy. We bring together physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology in one coordinated program. This team approach allows us to address every aspect of recovery, movement, daily activities, and communication so that patients can heal smarter and live stronger.
1
What Makes Our Approach Different
Parkinson’s and stroke recovery require more than a one-size-fits-all plan. Every patient has unique goals, challenges, and strengths.
Here is what makes our care different:
Multidisciplinary teamwork:
• PT, OT, and SLP working together.
Personalized treatment:
• Plans tailored to your daily life and hobbies.
2
Active participation:
• Therapy that keeps you moving, speaking, and practicing real-life tasks.
Progress tracking:
• Clear benchmarks so you can see improvement.
We combine advanced clinical knowledge with a supportive environment, making therapy effective and motivating.

Why the Nervous System Matters in Recovery
The nervous system controls movement, speech, memory, and balance. Stroke or Parkinson’s disrupts these signals, making simple tasks more difficult. Therapy retrains the nervous system to form new connections and restore function. This means:
• Improved coordination and balance
• Better communication and swallowing
• Greater independence in daily routines
• Reduced risk of falls or injuries
When patients stay active and engaged, the nervous system adapts more effectively, leading to lasting improvements.

Conditions We Treat
Our team specializes in Parkinson’s and stroke rehabilitation, but we also support patients with other neurologic conditions.
Common Areas of Focus
• Walking, balance, and endurance training
• Hand and arm function for daily tasks
• Speech clarity and language skills
• Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia)
• Memory, attention, and problem-solving
Many of our patients want to return to work, sports, or family activities. Our role is to make those goals achievable.

What a Session Looks Like
Your first session begins with a thorough evaluation. We assess movement, speech, and daily activities to build a personalized plan.
What’s Included In A Typical Therapy Program?
• Physical therapy for mobility and strength
• Occupational therapy for self-care and work skills • Speech therapy for communication and swallowing
• Education for patients and caregivers
• Regular reassessments to track progress
Each session keeps you active and goal-focused, ensuring time spent in therapy translates to real- life improvements.

Physical Therapy for Neurologic Recovery
Physical therapists help patients rebuild strength, coordination, and balance. Therapy may include:
• Gait training to improve walking confidence
• Balance activities to reduce fall risk
• Targeted strengthening for weak muscles
• Endurance training for work and hobbies
This active approach ensures patients regain independence while protecting long-term mobility.
7
Occupational Therapy for Independence
Occupational therapists focus on the skills needed for everyday life. Therapy may include:
• Relearning dressing, grooming, and cooking
• Restoring fine motor skills for writing or tool use
• Adapting work or home environments
• Energy management strategies to prevent fatigue
These interventions allow patients to stay engaged at home, at work, and in their favorite activities.
8
Speech Therapy for Communication and Swallowing
Speech-language pathologists help patients improve communication and safe swallowing. Sessions may address:
• Speech clarity and voice strength
• Language skills for work and conversation
• Cognitive-communication for memory and focus
• Swallowing therapy to prevent aspiration
Caregiver education ensures progress continues beyond the clinic.
