ATOMIC NEURO

Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehab

A spinal cord injury can change how your body moves, feels, and functions, but with the right rehabilitation, you can maximize recovery, build strength, and return to the activities that matter most. At Atomic Physical Therapy we offer specialized spinal cord injury rehabilitation, with one-on-one care from Dr. Kathryn Bugasch who is a certified neurological PT.

Spinal cord injuries (SCIs) can result from trauma, illness, or medical conditions, and they affect movement, sensation, and overall function. Whether your injury is complete or incomplete, early and consistent neurological rehabilitation can make a significant difference in your long-term outcomes. At Atomic our SCI rehabilitation programs in Boulder and Broomfield combine strength training, mobility work, functional retraining, and education to help you make the most of your recovery potential. We work closely with you to address not only mobility but also posture, endurance, and safety so you can live as independently and actively as possible.

How Physical Therapy Helps after a Spinal Cord Injury

Physical therapy after SCI focuses on maximizing the abilities you have, preventing secondary complications, and promoting neural adaptation through repetitive, task-specific movement. This may include gait training, wheelchair mobility skills, functional strengthening, and balance work, all adapted to your current abilities.
