Diseases, birth conditions, and injury account for a variety of conditions affecting movement. Members of our care team work with individuals and families to overcome movement barriers through medical and physical therapy as well as the latest technology. Our teams include specialists in:

  • Cerebral palsy and spasticity
  • Muscular dystrophy
  • Spina bifida and other spinal cord disorders
  • Brain injury

Our occupational and physical therapists work with patients to optimize the use of technology, including wheelchair selection and computer access.
