Guillain-Barre Syndrome at Spaulding Cambridge

Your physician-led rehabilitation team provides customized care based on your condition and needs. Our goal is to help you to maximize your functional independence to achieve your highest level of function. Recovering from a sudden onset disease takes hard work and commitment, and our experienced staff will be with you as you progress in your recovery.

Our rehabilitation program for Guillain-Barre Syndrome begins with a full evaluation by physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. We offer progressively intensive therapy, according to your tolerance and physical abilities. As your functional status and tolerance for therapy improves, the amount of therapy that you receive will increase. Our Rehabilitation staff can also evaluate for you use of assistive technology and mobility aids, as well as identify community resources. The process can be a difficult one, but our clinicians bring both expertise and compassion to their work, providing encouragement at every turn.

Family members are an essential part of the process too. We encourage family members to attend therapy sessions and to become active participants in the rehabilitation program. We offer caregiver training to ensure that you and your caregivers can function at your highest level of independence while maintaining a safe environment within the home.
