Neurological Physical Therapyin Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, & New York

At MOTION, we specialize in the treatment of concussions, headaches, neurological conditions, and vestibular disorders.* We focus on each patient’s unique needs, using a personalized approach to support your recovery.

Our services are designed to treat head injuries caused by sports, falls, motor vehicle accidents, and other trauma. We also address a wide range of neurological conditions, including:

  • Concussions (acute, persistent, and long-term symptoms)
  • Post-concussion syndrome (PCS)
  • Chronic headaches and migraines
  • Vestibular disorders* (dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues)
  • Neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), traumatic brain injury (TBI), and stroke

Our physical therapists conduct comprehensive baseline testing using evidence-based outcome measures to evaluate memory, attention, reaction time, balance, and visual and vestibular function. We also perform detailed musculoskeletal assessments to identify any cervical spine or neck issues that may contribute to headaches and concussion symptoms. 

We offer a full range of evidence-based treatments tailored to your needs, including:

  • Graded aerobic exercise programs to restore blood flow and circulation after a concussion or neurological injury.
  • Vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT)* to address vertigo and dizziness.
  • Manual therapy and targeted exercises to relieve headaches and improve cervical spine alignment and posture.
  • Personalized neurologic physical therapy programs, including gait training and balance exercises.
  • Holistic care that includes guidance on diet, sleep hygiene, and stress management to support overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • If we are asking you to do something that is hurting too much, let us know! Physical therapy should not be severely painful. It is not common to be so sore that patients are in pain or it affects their daily life. If this ever happens during or after an appointment, let us know and we will adapt your program.

  • We recommend budgeting 40-60 minutes for a typical therapy session. The only exception to this will be your first visit, which can take about 20 minutes longer due to the physical therapy evaluation your therapist will provide. We also recommend showing up about 10-15 minutes early to your first visit. This way, you can complete the paperwork before your visit time and streamline the process.

  • A physical therapy visit lasts about 40-60 minutes. The actual contents of the visit vary based on your diagnosis / need, but typically what happens is:

    1. You check in with the receptionist, make any appointments necessary, and we discuss your health insurance benefits with you.
    2. You go into the gym. You can change clothes if you need to, then begin therapy.
    3. You perform 6-8 various exercises and stretches. These can include therapeutic band exercises, light body weight exercises, or minimal weights. The stretches will promote strength, stability, improved range of motion, and pain relief.
    4. We can initiate other techniques to include manual work, taping, cupping, and dry needling as needed.
    5. The therapist makes recommendations based on your progress. These can include altering the frequency of visits, making additions / alterations to your home exercise plan, or things to do before your next visit.
  • You should wear loose clothes that make it easy to move. We also recommend sneakers. Workout clothes will work, but any comfortable clothing will work fine. Plan on giving your therapist access to your area of concern. The less your clothes restrict your movement and the more comfortable you are, the better. Shorts, yoga pants, or athletic / loose fitting pants and a tee shirt are all good options.
