NEUROLOGICAL PHYSICAL THERAPY

Neurological physical therapy is the evaluation and treatment of individuals with motor problems due to disease or injury of the nervous system. The causes of this dysfunction may be but are not limited to the following:

Multiple sclerosis
A potentially debilitating disease in which your body’s immune system “eats away” at the protective sheath that covers your nerves. This interferes with the communication between your brain and the rest of your body. Ultimately, this may result in the deterioration of the nerves themselves.

Fibromyalgia
Widely misunderstood, this is a chronic condition which causes pain in your muscles, ligaments, and tendons as well as fatigue and multiple tender points.

Cerebral Vascular Accident (CVA)/Stroke
This occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or severely reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and food. Symptoms may include loss of balance, trouble walking, trouble speaking, numbness on one side of the body or face, and headache.

Parkinson’s disease
A disease of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually often starting with a barely noticeable tremor in one hand. Symptoms usually begin on one side and remain worse on that side. Symptoms may include tremors, slowed motion, rigid muscles, impaired balance and loss of automatic movements such as blinking.

Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI)
Usually results from a violent blow or jolt to the head that causes the brain to collide with the inside of the skull. Mild TBI (concussion) may cause temporary dysfunction of brain cells. A more serious TBI can result in bleeding, torn tissue, and physical damage resulting in long term complications.

Cerebral Palsy
A general term for a group of disorders that appear during the first few years of life affecting the child’s ability to coordinate movement. CP can cause muscles to be floppy and weak or rigid and stiff.

"I had reached the point where my shoulder was frozen in place, I just couldn't move without pain. It was a relief to me to have my doctor recommend therapy over surgery. At Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy I recieved Ultrasound, deep heating sessions in combination with joint loosening and strengthening on a machine. Within 4-weeks I had felt better than I had in years"

"Playing high school football can be fun, but getting tackled and breaking your leg with ligament damage is not. After the cast came off, I had some pretty intensive physical therapy sessions at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy. Now my leg is stronger than ever and I'm playing basketball without worry. The therapist taught me stretching exercises to use before each game to prevent another injury."

"For years I competed in golf at a pretty high level, but as I aged I began to notice some loss of flexibility and range of motion effecting my game. With the help of NRIPT I began a stretching program that enabled me to get my game to where I want it!

"My busy schedule wouldn't tolerate a stiff neck preventing me from driving. I wasn't able to turn my head left or right without pain. My Doctor recommended physical therapy instead of other more invasive treatments. The therapy plan developed by the staff at Northern Rhode Island Physical Therapy worked out the kinks. Driving my grandkids around isn't a pain in the neck anymore."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You are all wonderful! Thanks to all of you for being so caring, thoughtful and understanding. You all go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is well taken care of"

"Many thanks for the great treatments over the recent weeks. From my initial visit, it was immediately obvious that it was staffed by personnel who were truly concerned with the welfare of their customers. In addition, from the moment you enter the facility, everyone else you encounter is equally pleasant and friendly. I never regarded my visits to the center as anything but positive. I will wear my [graduation] t-shirt with pleasure as it will remind me of your care."

Just wanted to thank your entire staff for all you do. Every aspect of your business is impeccable! Having been disabled since 1979, I have experience with physical therapy. You ALL are the absolute best, miles ahead of any therapy I've ever had. So very grateful for my progress and for the lifestyle progam implemented by Northern RI Physical Therapy.
