Whether you're returning to college, pursuing a certification, or balancing work and classes, your brain and body need to work together at their best.

For adults recovering from a concussion, vestibular disorders, or other neurological conditions, physical and occupational therapy can help improve balance, focus, coordination, endurance, and everyday function.

Neurowellness is about helping people stay engaged in the activities that matter most, from taking notes in class and working at a computer to navigating campus and keeping up with a busy schedule.

Returning to school or training and struggling with balance, dizziness, fatigue, brain fog, or coordination? PT and OT may help you feel more confident and focused as you take on your next chapter. 🎓

That is what helps turn information into meaningful progress.

A physical therapy visit became a lifesaving moment.

When patient Monique Glass arrived feeling unusually unwell, ATI Clinic Director Ashlyn Wallace recognized the warning signs and immediately urged her to seek emergency medical care.

That decision saved her life.

Monique was diagnosed with an acute pulmonary embolism and multiple blood clots. Ashlyn's clinical expertise, quick action, and commitment to putting her patient first made all the difference.

At ATI, care goes beyond rehabilitation. It's about recognizing when every second counts.

April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month!

ATI is speaking up about Parkinson's disease and to move others to take action toward a healthier lifestyle by improving movement and balance.

The LSVT (Lee Silverman Voice Treatment) Programs for individuals with PD have been developed and researched over the past 20 years beginning with a focus on the speech motor system (LSVT LOUD) and more recently have been extended to address limb motor systems (LSVT BIG).

LSVT BIG is a program that trains people with Parkinson disease (PD) to use their body more normally. People living with PD or other neurological conditions often move differently, with gestures and actions that become smaller and slower. The treatment improves walking, self-care and other tasks by helping people “recalibrate” how they perceive their movements with what others actually see. It also teaches them how and when to apply extra effort to produce bigger motions.

Call ATI Physical Therapy to make an appointment if you want to learn more or be treated by a LSVT certified therapist for Parkinson’s Disease treatment .
