About

Neurological physical therapy services in La Mesa route through Judith Verbanets, PT, a Physical Therapy Specialist III in Neurologic Services at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Centers on El Cajon Boulevard. Stroke, traumatic brain injury, and spinal cord injury patients discharged from acute-care settings like Fletcher Parkway Medical Center enter Verbanets's caseload for gait retraining, balance restoration, and neuromuscular re-education using proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns. Verbanets has published peer-reviewed analysis in the journal Physical Therapy (Oxford Academic, 2008), reviewing neurological intervention protocols that inform her clinical approach to both pediatric and adult neurologic patient populations. Cognitive and behavioral sequelae of acquired brain injury often require parallel care with behavioral health providers like LifeStance Therapists & Psychiatrists La Mesa, where neuropsychological adjustment and PT-driven motor recovery proceed on coordinated timelines. Highest-tier services include vestibular rehabilitation for benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) using the Epley and Semont maneuvers, combined with computerized dynamic posturography to quantify sway indices before and after canalith repositioning.
