Neurological rehabilitation focuses on patients with neurological injuries and conditions. This type of rehabilitation is designed to reduce symptoms, increase function and improve a patient’s quality of life. If you have a neurological condition, you can be referred for rehabilitation by your doctor.

The outpatient Neurological Rehabilitation Program at UF Health Jacksonville provides services to meet your needs. Our team has extensive experience treating patients with neurological impairments, so you can rely on their expertise to design effective therapies individualized for you.
