ATOMIC NEURO

Post Brain Tumor Resection

Recovery after brain tumor surgery can bring unique challenges, from weakness and balance issues to changes in coordination, vision, or speech. At Atomic Physical Therapy, we offer specialized post–brain tumor rehabilitation via Dr. Kathryn Bugasch, a certified neurological PT, to help restore movement, improve independence, and enhance quality of life.

Brain tumor resection can be life-saving, but the surgery and recovery process often affect mobility, balance, and daily function. You may experience weakness on one side of the body, difficulty walking, changes in coordination, or visual and sensory changes. Physical therapy plays a key role in addressing these challenges, retraining the brain and body to work together again, and helping you regain confidence in movement. At Atomic, our post–brain tumor rehabilitation programs in Boulder and Broomfield are customized to your abilities, goals, and stage of recovery. We combine evidence-based neurological techniques with strength training, balance work, and functional retraining so you can get back to the activities that matter most.

How Physical Therapy Helps After Brain Tumor Surgery

Following surgery, targeted rehab can improve mobility, restore balance, and help prevent secondary complications. We focus on neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new connections — by using repetitive, purposeful movements to rebuild strength, coordination, and control. Our approach also helps reduce fatigue, improve endurance, and increase confidence in daily activities.
