How It Works
The Synapse Model
Evaluation
Initial Assessment
Your first visit with us will be your initial evaluation. During this visit we will talk with you about your current diagnosis, functional abilities, and personal mobility goals. We will perform a thorough objective assessment that looks at your baseline strength, endurance, balance, posture, walking ability, etc. This helps us track your progress and response to treatment. Based on the evaluation, we will determine your treatment plan.
Family members, spouses, and/or care partners involved in your healthcare are encouraged to attend this initial visit!
Treatment
Personalized Plan of Care
Your treatment plan is individualized to you – no two patients have the same plan! The plan includes a frequency and duration of therapy, as well as the interventions and approaches we will take in helping you achieve your goals.
Your treatment may include any combination of the following:
- Amplitude Training (LSVT and PWR)
- Gait and Balance Training
- Fall Prevention and Fall Recovery
- Strength and Mobility Training
- Posture Work
- Vestibular Rehab
- Dystonia Management
- Sensory Re-Training
- Pain Management and Relief
- Dry Needling
- Cognition and Dual Task Training
- Speech, Swallowing, and Breath Training
- Home Safety Assessments
- Education
- Caregiver/Family Training
Progress
Monitoring & Adjustments
After 10 visits or 30 days (depending on your insurance), we will do a progress assessment.
We subjectively and objectively check in to see how you are responding to therapy and your overall progress towards your initial goals. This reassessment helps us determine whether the current plan remains appropriate. We may continue the course, modify the plan of care, and/or discuss possible discharge from therapy.
Treatment isn’t simply about a predetermined, set number of visits - It is tailored to you and your response to therapy!
Care Plan Completion
Transition to Independent Management
Our goal is not to keep you dependent on therapy. Our goal is to help you become as independent, confident, and capable as possible — and to give you the tools to maintain your progress.
Being discharged from therapy does not necessarily mean you are "done" with exercise. In fact, it is just the opposite – it is time for YOU to take control and implement what you have learned.
Don’t worry - we have resources to help support you after your therapy plan of care has ended. Your discharge plan will include one or more of the following:
- Independent home exercise program
- Wellness sessions at Synapse
- Group classes at CFMC
- Support groups
- Online exercise resources
The "Dental" Model of Care
Redefining the rehab protocol for neurologic diagnoses
Our approach to rehab is unique in that we utilize an evidence-backed, 'dental model' of care.
Once you complete your initial bout of therapy, you will continue to check in with us regularly (on average every six months). This allows for a pro-active approach instead of a reactive approach to your ongoing diagnosis. We don't wait until symptoms become disabling to see you again - regular checks prevent small problems from becoming larger ones!
