ATOMIC NEURO

Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS)

Recovery from Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) can be a long journey, but the right rehabilitation can help you rebuild strength, restore mobility, and regain independence. At Atomic Physical Therapy, we offer specialized GBS rehabilitation via Dr. Kathryn Bugasch, a certified neurological PT, tailored to your stage of recovery.

Guillain-Barre Syndrome is a rare neurological disorder in which the immune system attacks the nerves, often causing weakness, numbness, coordination problems, and in some cases, paralysis. While many people recover, it can take weeks, months, or longer to fully regain strength and function. At Atomic Physical Therapy, our GBS rehabilitation programs in Boulder and Broomfield focus on progressive strengthening, mobility retraining, and balance work, while carefully managing fatigue and preventing overexertion. We understand the importance of pacing and gradual progression in GBS recovery to avoid setbacks and maximize long-term gains.

How Physical Therapy Helps after Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Physical therapy plays a key role in regaining muscle strength, improving coordination, and restoring independence after GBS. We use a combination of gentle strengthening, functional mobility training, balance exercises, and gait retraining to help your nervous system and muscles work together effectively again.
