Neuromuscular disorders affect muscles and/or the nerves that control them. The neuromuscular rehabilitation team at Lake Oconee Rehabilitation Physical Therapy offers custom evaluations and exercise-based treatments for people with these conditions. Given that exercising tissues that are painful or damaged may be challenging, our neuromuscular specialists are skilled at customizing prescriptions and exercises for each patient.
Examples of nervous system disorders that we treat include:
- Balance Disorders
- CVA (stroke)
- CP (cerebral palsy)
- Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS)
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Parkinson’s Disease
- Many More
Our skilled services start with a thorough initial evaluation where we discuss and assess the patient’s specific needs so we can provide a physical rehabilitation program specific to the unique neuromuscular disorder being treated. We also work closely with each patient’s doctor to adjust the treatment program as necessary and ensure consistent movement towards the patient’s specific goals.

- Adaptive equipment for safe & successful return to sports and recreation
