Stroke & Neurological Rehabilitation in Houston, TX
Recovery is possible. Our neurological rehabilitation specialists help stroke survivors, brain injury patients, and those with neurological conditions regain function, independence, and quality of life.
What Is Neurological Rehabilitation?
Neurological conditions affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system—impacting movement, speech, cognition, and daily function. At Universal Rehab, our Houston neurological rehabilitation team includes physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists who specialize in helping patients recover from stroke, traumatic brain injury, and progressive neurological diseases.
We understand that neurological recovery is a journey. Our therapists use evidence-based techniques and neuroplasticity principles to help your brain and body relearn essential skills. Whether you're weeks or years post-injury, it's never too late to make progress.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a stroke should rehabilitation begin?
Research shows that starting rehabilitation as soon as medically stable leads to better outcomes. Many patients begin therapy within days of their stroke while still in the hospital, then continue outpatient care.
Can someone recover years after a stroke or brain injury?
Yes. While the fastest recovery typically occurs in the first 3-6 months, the brain continues to adapt and improve with therapy even years later. It's never too late to pursue rehabilitation.
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections. Rehabilitation uses repetitive, targeted exercises to encourage this process and recover lost abilities.
Do you treat Parkinson's disease?
Yes. We offer specialized programs including LSVT BIG (for movement) and LSVT LOUD (for voice), which are evidence-based treatments specifically designed for Parkinson's patients.
How long does neurological rehabilitation take?
Duration varies widely based on the condition and severity. Some patients benefit from a few months of intensive therapy, while others continue maintenance therapy long-term to preserve function.
