When Should I Start?

Some people may be appropriate starting therapy right after you are diagnosed. People with other neurological issues are appropriate once a Medical Professional team deems you to be stable to start your rehabilitation journey. Talk with your doctor or medical team to find out if Neurological Rehabilitation would be beneficial to you.
