Neurological Physiotherapy at Rutherford Physical Therapy
Neurological physiotherapy is a rehabilitation specialty that enables people to recover and regain function after neurological injuries or disorders. Resulting from a stroke, brain injury, or a progressive condition such as Parkinson’s disease, neurological physiotherapy is critical in improving quality of life and enhancing mobility. At Rutherford Physical Therapy, we provide patient-centric care designed to help you with neurological conditions move, function, and live better.
What is neurological physiotherapy?
How Does Neurological Physiotherapy Work?

Gait Training
To enable patients to walk independently or adjust to walking aids.
Task-Specific Training
Activities designed to practice and improve skills required for daily living.
Sensory Retraining
It helps patients with altered sensations to improve sensory feedback and awareness.
Stretching and range-of-motion exercises
To help reduce stiffness and spasticity in muscles.
