Services & programs
Physical and Occupational Therapy
The therapists at Neuro Therapy Nashville provide private one-on-one sessions in an outpatient clinic setting. These sessions are usually 1-2 hours long, 2-3 times a week. All physical and occupational therapists have the same foundational approach to care. This means all of your therapists are practicing using the same approach and are on the same page.
The therapists collaborate with each other as well as with the patient and family members to create an individualized treatment plan to help achieve maximal benefit. We may meet patients in their homes, the community, and clinic setting depending on need.
SPEECH Therapy
Speech therapy at Neuro Therapy Nashville is also provided in a private one-on-one setting. Sessions are usually 1 hour long and 1-2 times a week. Our SLP specializes in aphasia, memory and cognitive rehabilitation following stroke/brain injury, and post concussion care. At Neuro Therapy Nashville we strive to bring creativity and a think outside the box approach to speech therapy. We use an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach with the other team members with a focus on improving function in real-life and day to day activities. Your speech therapist may meet with you in the clinic, in the community, or home, depending on your specific needs and goals for therapy.
therapy Intensives
During an intensive, a patient will receive five consecutive days of treatment for 3-5 hours each day. Research shows it takes thousands of repetitions to relearn a new motor skill. Through this daily immersive therapy, we use that repetition to initiate and master new movements in the stroke affected areas. Each patient’s intensive is constructed to suit their particular needs, goals, and abilities. These sessions are a great way to make big progress, helping to develop a positive and expectant mindset that the recovery process can continue.
Yoga & Massage therapy
At Neuro Therapy Nashville we take a holistic approach to neurological rehab. Stress, anxiety, depression, tightness, spasticity — these things can make your rehab, and life in general, more difficult than they have to be. Our specialized massage/yoga therapist works with patients to address these things through a combination of massage, breath work, meditation, and mindfulness with a focus reducing stress, and improving your relationship with the more affected side. These sessions have shown to improve flexibility, fluidity of movement, improved awareness, decreased tightness, and decreased pain. These sessions are done in a private room with special mats and equipment to accommodate how you feel comfortable. There’s no need to lay on your stomach, take any of your clothes off, or be in any other difficult position. Our therapist understands how to get splints on and off and how to assist you in mobility as well.
BEfriend your body- a group class for survivors
This class involves gentle Movement and Mindfulness to help you connect to yourself.
In this class, we will practice some gentle stretches and breathing practices to calm our nervous systems and feel more connected to ourselves. Life can be stressful for stroke survivors, so we wanted to offer some simple tools to help everyone feel even a moment of peace. Join Sarah Jane, our yoga therapist and body worker, as she shows you some of the magic that will leave you feeling calm and restored.
Why we're excited:
Research shows that a calm brain can learn better. This means that if your brain is calm it can build new pathways better, using neuroplasticity. We've seen this have a positive effect on learning new movements and on reducing spasticity and pain with our patients.
The Details:
The cost is $15.
Class is always from 12:00-1:00
You MUST sign up for this class. Seats are limited so you cannot just show up. Online registration will let you know if the class has availability or if it is full.

Driving Rehabilitation program
Our team of OT, PT, and SLP work together to assess readiness to driving after stroke and brain injury. We perform specialized evaluations to assess cognition, visual integration, and physical limitations as they relate to safety in driving. If we find deficits we will schedule one on one visits to work on these specific things and make the recommendation to a behind the wheel evaluation if/when appropriate.
Vision Rehabilitation
Many times functional vision can be affected after a stroke or brain injury and these changes should not go unaddressed. Our team of vision rehab specialists (OT) work hand in hand with local neuro optometrists to address these visual changes through a variety of visual activities and exercises performed in the clinic and community.
Caregiver Support
One of the most underdeveloped elements of the rehabilitation process is the caregiver’s outlook and the emotional environment they provide in the patient’s recovery. At Neuro Therapy Nashville, we have first-hand experience with this influential caregiver role. We have designed tools and instruction that help caregivers with their journey. Our program for caregivers is not merely support in a tragic situation, but an actual rethinking of tragedy; building a mental context that supports and empowers both caregivers and survivors as they journey together toward wellness. Join us for our monthly caregiver support meet-ups!
Aging-in-place program
Aging in Place involves enhancing quality of life while allowing older adults to remain in their home environment. Aging in Place also emphasizes maintaining a person’s autonomy and independence as much as possible while keeping safety as a top priority. Our team of occupational therapists specialize in not only assessing the home but the person’s ability to function safely within the home and activities in the community. We use a person-centered approach to design a plan that’s unique to each individual.
