St. Luke's Rehabilitation: Boise, Robbins Rd., 2nd Floor

Neurologic therapists specialize in the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorders or conditions caused by neurological trauma or illness.

Our areas of focus include:

  • Neurological physical therapy: specializing in functional mobility (transfers, walking, wheelchair use); restoration of function, strength, coordination, and balance; pain management and/or reduction related to the neurological diagnosis; and evaluation/recommendation for mobility equipment. 
  • Neurological occupational therapy: helping people overcome or adapt to their functional deficiencies so they can live as independently as possible. Areas addressed may include self-care, home management, home/community/work adaptations to improve independence, visual deficits, driving, return to work, arm/hand weakness, or impaired coordination. 
  • Neurological speech-language therapy: evaluating and treating motor movements required for speech, language, social communication (understanding language or expressing self), voice disorders, cognitive communication (attention, memory, sequencing), and swallowing disorders. 
The neurological therapy team also includes licensed clinical social workers who provide comprehensive support and assistance to patients and their families navigating the challenges associated with neurological conditions. Social workers provide vital support, advocacy, counseling, and resource coordination to enhance well-being and successful rehabilitation.
