Neurologic and Older Adult Rehabilitation
This service is provided by physicians and physical therapists that specialize in neurologic and geriatric patient care. The collaborative team focuses on delivering patient centered care, individually tailored to help patients participate as fully as possible in life activities and meet personal goals. We provide care for individuals who have movement problems (weakness, stiffness, spasticity, balance deficits, difficulty walking, etc.) resulting from neurologic and medical conditions as well as issues related to aging. Emory Neurologic Physical Therapy Residency students also practice within this setting. Learn more about the neurologic residency program.

Our staff includes local members of the American Cancer Society, active participants of the Orthopedic and Oncology sections of the American Physical Therapy Association, and board certified Orthopedic Physical Therapy Specialists and Neurologic Clinical Specialists.
Our Cancer Rehabilitation Program includes treatment for patients diagnosed with many types of cancer, such as breast, head and neck cancer, leukemia, lymphoma, lung cancer, melanoma, prostate cancer, and colon cancer.
