Comprehensive Care

Recovery after a neurologic injury can feel like a journey with an unclear path. Often patients are not aware of the services available to them to maximize their recovery throughout the continuum of care. The Neurorehabilitation Clinic at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital was established to focus on the continuum of care as it relates to a person's function. Our multidisciplinary team is a group of dedicated healthcare professionals, consisting of physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, and Orthotists, who specialize in and understand the complexity of neurological disorders.
