We provide one-on-one treatment and care, alongside trademarked approaches such as our One2FourTM method aimed at providing care that goes above and beyond for every patient.
With our One2FourTM approach, patients are given a category depending on their current needs.

Patients can closely monitor their progress and outline clear goals with their therapists to continue improving. This maintains motivation as well as ensures our patients feel involved with every step of their treatment plan.
Physical Therapy For Strokes
Strokes occur when a blood vessel in the brain is blocked or bursts. This cuts off oxygen from reaching the brain and causes delicate tissue to be damaged. Often, this leads to a loss of movement control in certain areas of the body. Symptoms of an oncoming stroke include:
- Numbness or paralysis of one side of the body (sometimes both sides) including face, arms, and legs
- Vision changes
- Balance changes
- Drooling
- Slurred or difficult speech
- Headaches
When a patient suffers a stroke that leads to physical impairments, physical therapy can significantly help reduce functional difficulties and help patients relearn tasks for independent daily life. Typically, physical therapy aims to help patients relearn motor activities that have been affected. This can include activities such as:
- Walking
- Sitting and standing
- Eating
- Tying shoes
- Lying down and standing back up
- Eating
- Dressing
- Cooking
- Climbing stairs
- Holding items
- Writing
- Using the toilet
- Movements required for daily tasks
Often, physical therapists and occupational therapists will work together to determine a treatment plan that will best benefit the patient. We understand that undergoing a stroke and having to relearn common movements is an incredibly emotional and difficult experience, and we want patients and their loved ones to feel confident we are dedicated to patient success and providing the best possible care.
When treating a patient who has experienced a stroke, our team may also recommend additional resources such as speech therapists or specialists that will help treat specific impairments outside of our areas of expertise. After the initial consultation, our team will clearly outline our best recommendations and work with you every step of the way to ensure you or your loved one is back to feeling confident and competent in the least amount of time possible.
