Neurological physical therapy is extremely important for those patients who have had or who currently have neurological diseases or
injuries. The brain and spinal cord and the central nervous system control movement and sensation. Injuries to these areas, the brain
or spinal cord can cause death of the cells that control certain movements and sensations, and therefore people lose function. Without neurological physical therapy following a neurological injury, patients may lose many functions and not be able to perform certain activities. Decreased intensity of activity leads to many other health problems such as diabetes, lung problems, heart problems, decreased independence, and an overall poor quality of life.

Following the neurological disorder or injury there is a certain amount of time when the cells that are not injured in the brain and
spinal cord, can learn to control the missing functions. Physical therapists are very well-informed about human movement and can
teach patients how to move correctly again. This skilled help can assist patients in regaining some to most of the functions they lost
because of the injury. Most of the patients can learn to live independently again, which makes them happier with their lives and
contributes to their overall quality of life.
