01 — What you may be feeling

What has become harder in your daily routine?

Choose the concern that sounds most like yours, or contact us if you are unsure where to start.

Walking and turning feel less steadyI feel less secure crossing a room, changing direction or stepping outside.

How we may help. We look at your walking pattern, balance, strength and the situations where you need support. Practice can focus on steps, turns and changes in surface that fit your abilities.

Tell us about falls, near falls and any walking aid you use. Practice is planned with support appropriate to your safety.

Request an appointment
Standing up takes more effortGetting up from a chair or moving between seats has become difficult.

How we may help. Your therapist assesses how you shift your weight and use your legs and trunk. Repeated practice of the task, with strength work when appropriate, can help you work toward your transfer goals.

Seat height, fatigue and the help available at home all affect how a task is approached.

Request an appointment
Movements feel slow or poorly coordinatedStarting, stopping or combining movements takes more thought than it used to.

How we may help. We break meaningful activities into manageable parts and practise them in ways that match your condition. For Parkinson’s disease, selected cues may help with stepping or starting a movement.

What helps one person may not help another; we review the effect during practice rather than assuming a single technique will work.

Request an appointment
Fatigue limits my activityI need more breaks to finish household tasks or a short outing.

How we may help. We discuss when you have the most energy and plan an achievable balance of exercise, activity and recovery. Endurance work is adjusted to your health and response.

For MS, heat can temporarily worsen symptoms. Cooler conditions, shorter bouts and planned rest may make practice more manageable. New or persistent changes need advice from your medical team.

Request an appointment
Reduced sensation affects my confidenceMy feet feel numb and I am less sure where I am stepping.

How we may help. Your therapist considers sensation, strength and balance together and discusses safer walking and exercise choices.

Reduced sensation can hide pressure or skin injury. Check your feet regularly, use protective footwear and get medical advice for a sore or skin change rather than exercising through it.

How we can help

How PT supports neurological movement and function

This care is about movement and function with an established neurological condition, rather than inner-ear vertigo or a single painful joint. Neurological conditions affect people differently. Physical therapy addresses movement difficulties alongside your medical care; it does not replace treatment of the underlying disease. Your assessment guides which activities to practise, how much support you need and when to involve your other healthcare professionals.

Movement rehabilitation after stroke

A stroke interrupts blood flow to part of the brain and can change strength, sensation, balance and coordination. After medical care, PT may include repeated practice of standing up, reaching, walking and stairs, with strengthening and endurance work suited to you. Goals may involve improving a skill, finding an effective way to complete a task or maintaining mobility. Progress varies; rehabilitation is coordinated with your wider care needs and is not emergency stroke treatment.

Moving with Parkinson’s disease

Parkinson’s disease affects brain systems involved in movement and can cause slowness, stiffness, smaller steps and difficulty starting or turning. PT may combine task-specific practice, balance and walking training, strength and aerobic exercise. Selected visual or rhythmic cues can be explored when helpful. We consider changes across your day and medication timing without changing your medicines. The aim is to support function and participation, not reverse the disease.

Mobility and activity with multiple sclerosis (MS)

MS affects the brain and spinal cord and can cause changing patterns of weakness, altered sensation, balance difficulty and fatigue. PT may work on walking, strength, balance and endurance while building in pacing and recovery. Heat sensitivity and day-to-day variation help guide session timing, rest and exercise adjustments. Contact your MS team about new or persistent neurological changes; PT complements, rather than replaces, medical management of MS and relapses.

Function with peripheral neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy involves damage to nerves outside the brain and spinal cord. Numbness, tingling, pain or weakness, often in the feet, can affect balance and walking. PT may address available strength, stepping and balance strategies and the use of your usual walking aid. Reduced sensation calls for attention to footwear, pressure and foot skin checks, with medical review for wounds. Your medical team addresses the cause; PT does not promise to repair damaged nerves.

Your assessment guides an individualized plan. Your therapist discusses how physical therapy and any care from your other healthcare professionals fit together.

Our approach to care

Practice that relates to your life

We begin with activities you want to manage more easily or safely. Your plan may focus on building a skill, maintaining an ability or adapting how you complete a task as your needs change.

Task-specific movement practice

Practise meaningful tasks such as rising from a chair, stepping around a turn or reaching while supported. Repetition, assistance and task difficulty are selected around your abilities and goals.

Balance and walking training

Your therapist chooses balance challenges and walking tasks with appropriate support. We consider falls, attention, sensation and the walking aid you already use rather than encouraging unsafe independent practice.

Strength, endurance and pacing

Exercise is adapted to your condition, medical precautions and energy. We adjust effort, rest and session timing, including fatigue and heat sensitivity when relevant.

A manageable home plan

You receive a small set of activities with guidance on setup, support and when to pause. With your permission, a caregiver can learn agreed ways to help without taking over tasks you can practise yourself.

We review everyday function, effort, safety and your goals, not just a single test score. A long-term condition may need the plan to change over time. New neurological symptoms are not automatically a routine part of rehabilitation and may need medical review.

05 — Questions

A few answers before you get started

How quickly can I get an appointment?

New-patient evaluations are often available within two business days. Call or submit a request to check current availability.

Do I need a referral?

You can contact us without one. We will help check what is needed for your visit and your insurance plan.

Do I need a diagnosis first?

No. Tell us what you are experiencing. Your physical therapist will assess your concerns and discuss appropriate next steps.

Will my insurance cover my visits?

We are in-network with Medicare, Medicare Railroad, Mass General Brigham, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Aetna, TRICARE, BCBS and Harvard Pilgrim. Services for other plans, excluding Medicaid, are out-of-network and subject to clinic benefit verification. We are not a Medicaid provider. Coverage depends on your specific plan. We can help check your benefits and explain estimated costs before your visit. Benefit verification does not guarantee payment.

How many visits will I need?

That depends on your assessment, goals and progress. Your therapist will discuss a recommended plan and review it as treatment progresses.

Does PT treat the neurological disease itself?

PT focuses on how you move and function. It works alongside treatment from your medical team and does not replace medicines, disease management or urgent care.

Can PT help if my condition is long term?

Goals can include maintaining mobility, adapting a task, building activity tolerance or improving a particular skill. Your therapist discusses realistic goals with you and reviews them as your needs change.

What if fatigue or symptoms vary each day?

Tell your therapist how the day compares with your usual pattern. We can adjust the amount of practice, rest and task difficulty. For MS, temperature and heat sensitivity also matter; new or persistent changes should be discussed with your medical team.

Is this the same as vestibular therapy?

No. This page focuses on functional movement with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, MS and peripheral neuropathy. Vestibular care addresses dizziness and inner-ear-related balance problems. Your assessment helps distinguish overlapping needs.

Can I contact you for a family member?

Yes. Enter your own contact information and let us know you are contacting us for someone else.
