Physical Therapy for Guillain-Barré
Importance of PT
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a complex condition that requires a comprehensive, individualized rehabilitation approach. Dr. Chuck provides evidence-based physical therapy through Mobile Physio to help individuals recover strength, mobility, and independence in the comfort of their home.
Early Intervention
Starting physical therapy soon after diagnosis is critical. Early intervention can help reduce complications such as contractures, pressure injuries, and deconditioning—laying the groundwork for a more efficient recovery process.
Strengthening and Mobility
Dr. Chuck follows a gradual, patient-specific approach to rebuilding strength. Depending on your level of function, therapy may begin with isometric exercises and progress to more dynamic, resistance-based activities as strength and endurance improve.
Balance and Coordination Training
Balance and coordination work plays a key role in regaining stability and reducing fall risk. Dr. Chuck customizes each plan to your current abilities, adjusting the intensity and complexity as you progress.
Pain Management
Managing pain is essential to keeping you engaged in rehab. Dr. Chuck incorporates techniques such as manual therapy, heat or cold application, and TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) to improve comfort and support active participation in therapy.
Additional Therapy Components
Breathing Exercises: For individuals with respiratory involvement, Dr. Chuck provides targeted breathing exercises to help maintain lung function and respiratory strength during recovery.
Recovery from GBS is challenging, but with Mobile Physio, therapy is tailored to your specific stage and goals. Dr. Chuck brings experience, patience, and support directly to you—empowering your journey toward restored independence.
