Remote Physical Therapy

Imago Rehab - PT

Undergoing physical therapy for neurological rehab can be a daunting prospect, especially if you’re unsure what to expect. Here’s a breakdown of what you can typically encounter:

Initial Evaluation:
  • Meet your therapist: You’ll get acquainted with your physical therapist, who will discuss your medical history, diagnosis, and goals for therapy.
  • Assessment: Expect tests to gauge your muscle strength, coordination, balance, range of motion, and sensation. This helps the therapist tailor a program to your specific needs.
Therapy Sessions:
  • Variety is key: Your sessions will likely involve a mix of exercises and activities targeting different areas, depending on your condition.

Examples:

  • Motor skills: Regaining movement and coordination through strengthening exercises, balance training, and gait retraining.
  • Functional activities: Practicing daily living tasks like dressing, bathing, and cooking to improve independence.
  • Sensory retraining: Exercises to restore or relearn sensory information like touch, proprioception, and vision.
  • Progression: As you make progress, your therapist will gradually increase the difficulty and complexity of exercises to keep challenging your nervous system and promote neuroplasticity.
Technology and Tools:
  • Specialized equipment: Depending on your needs, you might use assistive devices like braces, walkers, or wheelchairs, or even high-tech tools like robotic therapy devices.
Home Exercise Program:
  • Practice makes perfect: You’ll likely be given exercises to do at home to reinforce what you learn in therapy and maintain progress.
Communication and Support:
  • Open communication: Be sure to express any concerns or discomfort you experience to your therapist.
  • Teamwork: Remember, your recovery is a team effort. Collaborate with your therapist, doctor, and other healthcare professionals involved in your care.

Overall, expect a personalized and dynamic approach in neurological rehab physical therapy. While it can be challenging, it’s also a journey of hope and progress towards regaining function and improving your quality of life.
