Physical therapy in Reseda, CA
Neurosurgery Rehabilitation
Recovery after brain or spine surgery is a careful, staged process. Rehabilitation with Urvashi Barbhaya, RPT, OCS, helps you rebuild movement, strength, and function, coordinated with your surgical team.
Support after neurosurgery
Surgery on the brain or spine can affect movement, strength, balance, and everyday function. Rehabilitation supports your recovery with a program that respects your surgeon's protocol and progresses as you heal. Care may focus on:
- Restoring safe movement and range of motion
- Rebuilding strength and endurance
- Improving balance and coordination
- Retraining walking and everyday tasks
- Managing pain and protecting the surgical site
- Returning to independence at a safe pace
A coordinated, careful approach
Your program follows your surgeon's guidance and is timed to your stage of recovery. Progress is guided by how your body responds, not a fixed calendar, which protects your recovery while moving you forward.
What to expect
Care begins with a careful assessment and a plan matched to your surgery and goals. Urvashi explains each stage clearly, and the program adapts as you regain strength and function.
