OUR STORY
After graduating from A.T. Still University in 2022, Matt Nelson PT, DPT relocated to the San Tan Valley area where he and his family quickly developed a deep affection for the community.
After settling in, Matt was disheartened to discover the absence of neurologic outpatient clinics in the area. In 2024, he founded NeuroBalance Rehab as a mobile outpatient clinic, bringing specialized care to his community.
NeuroBalance is set apart by its unwavering commitment to empower patients with neurologic conditions to improve their functional mobility, thereby enabling them to actively engage in the activities they cherish and participate more fully in their communities.
At NeuroBalance, collaboration lies at the heart of our practice. We work closely with patients, caregivers, medical professionals, and fellow therapists to deliver comprehensive care tailored to individual needs. Our ultimate goal is to ensure that each patient achieves optimal independence and quality of life through their treatment.
