Stroke Rehabilitation Physical Therapy in Buford, GA
Recovery after a stroke often continues long after leaving the hospital. Outpatient physical therapy supports the next steps toward moving and living more independently.
Understanding It
About stroke rehabilitation
A stroke can affect strength, coordination, sensation, and balance — often more on one side of the body. These changes can make walking, getting up from a chair, or using an arm and hand more difficult.
Outpatient stroke rehabilitation focuses on repeated, meaningful practice of the movements and tasks that matter to you, alongside strengthening and balance work, to support ongoing recovery.

Zona's individualized evaluation and treatment
Your evaluation reviews your medical history and recovery so far, then assesses strength, sensation, coordination, balance, walking, and the daily tasks that are hardest for you.
As a physical therapist-owned practice, every visit is one-on-one for 45–60 minutes. Your plan is built around your evaluation and goals, and adjusted as you progress. Results vary from person to person, and we will be honest with you about what to expect.
