Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a rare neurological disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks part of its peripheral nervous system. GBS can range from a very mild case with a brief weakness to nearly devastating paralysis, leaving the person unable to breathe independently.  GBS can affect anyone, regardless of age and gender.  Fortunately, most people eventually recover from even the most severe cases of GBS.

Physical therapy is crucial to regain strength, balance, and activities of daily living to return to patients prior level of function.   Our physical therapists work alongside the patient/family, and physicians to work towards their individual goals, such as ambulation, stair negotiation, dressing, etc.
