Board-Certified
MEET DR. TARA TOBIAS
Dr. Tara Tobias is a board-certified neurologic physical therapy specialist. With 15+ years of experience, Tara has practiced in every setting including acute care, inpatient rehabilitation and outpatient centers that specialize in a variety of neurologic and balance conditions. Along with this, she has also completed numerous post-graduate courses focusing on the study of neuroplasticity (how the brain learns new skills and forms new connections), motor recovery, and the treatment of balance disorders.
The Three Different Types of Strokes
Not every stroke is the same, so it’s important to have a physician that understands the different types, how they affect your body, and how you can best recover from it.
Ischemic Stroke
An ischemic stroke occurs when an artery is blocked resulting in lack of blood flow to the brain tissue beyond the blockage causing tissue death.
Hemorrhagic Stroke
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when an artery ruptures causing blood to leak out into the surrounding brain tissue. This places increased pressure on the tissue causing the brain tissue to die.
Lacunar Stroke
This occurs when there is an occlusion in a deep penerating arteery that supplies the deep brain structures.

HEAR FROM OUR PATIENTS
“I recently went to Tara at the recommendation of a good friend in my neighborhood. I had an ischemic brain stroke about a year ago and had hit a roadblock with my recovery process. Previously I fully utilized a well known outpatient hospital-affiliated facility. They were nice but I felt like a number and their knowledge of how to tailor their program to my needs and also even their ability to do so was just not there. Tara’s real value is her depth and breadth of knowledge and her constant analysis of my progress. Her tailored approach yields real and measurable results in short order. I am quite a satisfied client. Any of you out there that are motivated to progress and not live with the status quo should make the first step and go see her for an evaluation. You have so much to gain and frankly so much to lose by not doing so.”
“Tara is Awesome! She has helped my Mother stand and walk with assistance after having a major stroke last year. She is the most dedicated person in her profession. She is determined to see that her patients achieve the most they can and continue to strive to meet their goals. She has never given up hope for Mom and we don’t know what we would have done if we had not been introduced to her. Thank you so much Tara for your continued enthusiasm and support!”
My daughter suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke in February, 2016. She received 6 weeks of inpatient therapy, as well as months of outpatient therapy. She, unfortunately, suffered several falls and broken bones, and also developed severe spasticity of the left foot/ankle. I found Tara on the website around December of 2017 and called her about my daughter. She evaluated her and immediately began a vigorous treatment plan. We, at this time, were becoming quite discouraged and looking for hope. Now, just 6 months latter, the progress my daughter has made is beyond anything we could have imagined at the time we met Tara. Every session Tara works extremely hard, is focused and uses a great bedside manner to elicit results from her patient. She shares the joys of her patient and their family when improvements are made, and she shows great pride in her skills. Tara is the best physical therapist we have had the privilege of working with. When we began with Tara, my daughter was confined to a wheelchair, she now is able to get that left foot flat and walk with assistance. Tara also helped us secure a new brace that actually works. Also, my daughter loves going to her therapy. sessions!
