ATOMIC NEURO

Post Stroke Physical Therapy

At Atomic we specialize in post-stroke rehabilitation designed to help you regain movement, balance, and independence. With one-on-one care from Dr. Kathryn Bugasch who is a certified neurological PT, we’ll guide you through a customized program to help you get back to the activities and lifestyle you love, at a pace that’s right for you.

Life after a stroke can feel uncertain, but recovery is possible. It can change the way your body moves, balances, and responds, but with the right care, recovery and improvement are possible at any stage. At Atomic Physical Therapy, our post-stroke physical therapy programs in Boulder and Broomfield help patients restore strength, mobility, and independence through targeted, evidence-based treatment. Our focus goes beyond restoring function, we aim to help you return to the daily activities and hobbies that bring meaning to your life.

How Physical Therapy Helps After a Stroke

Following a stroke, the brain and body often need to relearn basic movements and daily tasks. Our neurological rehabilitation combines movement-based retraining, balance exercises, gait training, and functional strengthening to improve walking, coordination, and mobility. By stimulating your nervous system and building muscle strength, we help restore independence, prevent complications, and improve overall quality of life.
