Upper East Side Physical Therapy

Can Physical Therapy Help with Brain Fog or Memory Loss?

If you’ve been feeling forgetful, mentally foggy, or just not as sharp as usual, you’re not alone. Many people experience changes in memory or focus—especially after illness, injury, or as they get older. What you might not know is that physical therapy can help.

At ESR Physical Therapy in the Upper East Side New York City, we offer cognitive rehabilitation to address these concerns—and for many patients, it’s covered by Medicare.

What Is Brain Fog?

“Brain fog” isn’t a medical diagnosis, but it’s a real and frustrating experience. You may notice:

  • Trouble concentrating or staying focused

  • Forgetting appointments or names

  • Difficulty following conversations

  • Feeling mentally “slowed down”

Brain fog can be caused by many things, including stress, poor sleep, medical conditions, or recovery from illness like COVID-19.
