Orlando Neuro Therapy - Physical Therapy

"Our sessions with Dr. Tara Tobias were beyond incredible. We had discovered her online and found her videos so exceptionally helpful that we had to see her in person. It is one of the best decisions we have made regarding therapy and recovery. My husband, Sheldon, had a massive stroke almost 4 years ago, was able to walk short distances with a hemi walker but had virtually no movement with his left arm. After just a couple sessions, Tara, was able to encourage Sheldon to walk without an assistive device—merely with her guided touch and coaching. Seriously!! It turns out he was replacing his affected leg with the hemi-walker and not really progressing his walking. With a smaller footprint, he now walks daily at home without any assistive device (my guidance) and is transitioning to a hiking stick with the goal to actually walk on his own. We could not believe this was even possible before working with Tara and learning his underlying issues. Working with his affected arm, Dr. Tobias was able to get Sheldon to mentally connect to his arm and manage some movement. Sheldon has spasticity and the stretching component and working with her to get extension has been amazing. Again, Tara provides a clarity of understanding and solid tangible solutions. She has even left us with a tailored home program. Tara’s talent as a diagnostician is superior to all prior therapists and neurologists we have worked with. She provides insightful observations and exercises that progress your goals. You will amaze yourself as to what you can accomplish. Tara has a positivity that is enhanced by her skills, knowledge and experience engendering trust and confidence. To say our experience was thrilling is an understatement. Sheldon’s achievements and growth are inspirational and will bring him to a new level. Dr. Tobias has made a significant difference in our rehab and recovery as well as opened our eyes to the possibilities."

"Dr. Tara has been an AMAZING therapist for my dad. He suffered from a very severe stroke at the end of August, and for almost a month afterward he was unable to move his right side. After being discharged from acute rehab he regained some mobility, but had a long road ahead. Not being satisfied with outpatient therapy only 2x per week, I looked for ways to supplement his therapy, which is how I found Dr. Tara. I'm so grateful that she offers a way to receive high quality physical therapy for patients who have suffered from strokes. Dr. Tara is extremely knowledgable, professional, and dedicated to her patients. You can tell that she really cares about her patients, and has the expertise to help them get better. In the few weeks since my dad has started therapy with Dr. Tara, I have noticed a big difference in his strength and mobility. His ability to stand up on his own has gotten stronger, he is able to walk (assisted) for longer distances, and his range of motion has improved. I"m excited about his future progress in the weeks ahead! I plan on having my dad work with Dr. Tara for as long as we live in this area because I know that his progress will jump by leaps and bounds with her help."

"Our son had a tenotomy surgery in both legs. We found Tara doing a big search in internet and for the first visit to the last, we are always stoked to see the difference. Thank you so much Tara for pushing our son every session to get back to full range of motion and no restrictions. We have been to another therapy office, when we lived in another area, and we can say that we never found a person so dedicated to her patients. Tara has helped our son to recover physically, and she has helped to improve our son’s spirit as well. My husband is an Orthopaedic Surgeon and he has been around long enough to recognize superior performance in the medical profession. She is always studying the best way to help our son and improve how he walks. Our son has improved greatly in a very short time and we are happy to continue counting on Tara every week!. Tara Tobias is a very skilled practitioner in Neurologic Physical Therapy. In addition to being very talented, she is very creative, kind and inspire hope that hard work will be rewarded. We will highly recommend Tara to others. Thank you so much!"

"I found myself one day having lost the ability to move my legs. After a week in the hospital, I was diagnosed with idiopathic transverse myelitis. Upon discharge my doctor stressed the importance of starting my physical therapy as soon as possible. When I called to set up my initial assessment. I was given a date of 1 month out. I was scared and felt like I needed to start my rehabilitation sooner than that. My wife went on line and found Tara who specializes in neuro-physical therapy. She agreed to see us immediatly for evaluation. Her office is clean and very welcoming. One of the main advantages of Tara over other physical therapists is that she talks in the same language that my doctors were speaking in. This helped me feel like everyone was on the same page for my treatment plan. Not only did Tara help me with the problem I came in with, it was her that told me that I didn’t need her anymore. She instructed me on how I could continue my rehab at home. The last thing you need to know about Tara is, she’s a happy person. Someone with a genuine smile. She will be the highlight of your day as you walk an uncertain future if you’re dealing with nerve damage. I highly recommend her."

"Tara has made a tremendous difference in my life! When I first started doing PT with Tara I was using a walker & a wheelchair. Tara has patiently worked with me to retrain my brain and nervous system to walk again. Less than 2 years later I am now using just a cane outside & can walk confidently inside. She worked with me to walk down the aisle at my son's wedding. Now my goal is to go on a trip to Paris & London & be able to navigate the cobblestones!"
