Neuro rehab from Trinity Health Michigan can help you cope with changes to your abilities so that you can live the best possible life.

Neuropsychology Testing

Neuro rehab may start with neuropsychology testing. Neuropsychologists, psychologists with training in neurology, assess the impact of neurologic disorders on behavior and cognitive abilities. You may benefit from an evaluation if you are experiencing challenges with thinking, remembering or speaking. The results help us determine the therapies that are best for you.

Neuro Rehab Therapies

You have access to a variety of therapies that optimize the way you move, communicate and go about your daily life.

Neurorehabilitation therapies include:

• Occupational therapy makes it easier to complete daily tasks, such as bathing, getting dressed and feeding yourself. If you have mobility issues, therapists may show you how to use a walker or wheelchair. Explore occupational therapy (OT).
• Physical therapy may involve balance training to help you feel steadier when you stand and walk. Therapists use gentle exercises to improve strength, flexibility and endurance. Get more information about physical therapy (PT).
• Speech therapy helps you communicate. We teach you new techniques for using your voice and expressing yourself when words do not come easily. This therapy is also for people who have difficulty swallowing. Learn more about our speech therapy services.
• Swallow evaluations, to check how well you can swallow safely. Our experts use special tests to see how you swallow, making sure you're safe and comfortable when you eat and drink.

Neuro-Palliative Care

Neuro-palliative care physicians optimize quality of life for people with neurological conditions with long-lasting or life-altering circumstances. We provide support at any stage of illness and typically get involved early in a person’s care.

Neuro-palliative care physicians work with patients, families and other neurologic disease specialists to ease the burden of living with certain chronic disorders. Services may include pain management, care coordination and more. We also guide patients and families through conversations about future care needs.
