What is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy It is a branch of physiotherapy aimed at providing rehabilitation for individuals with conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system.
These conditions, such as Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, FND or Spinal Cord Injuries, can impair movement, coordination, balance, and muscle control.
Neurological physiotherapy focuses on restoring function, improving mobility, and enhancing quality of life through by kick-starting the message pathways that your brain is struggling to use, to make new pathways through repetitive actions and exercises.
A neurological physiotherapist will develop a bespoke rehabilitation plan for each client, taking into account their specific needs and goals. Treatment may include:
- Manual therapy and hands-on facilitation to improve joint mobility and movement quality
- Functional exercises to improve strength, balance, and coordination
- Gait training to assist with walking and posture
- Spasticity management through positioning, stretching, and specialist techniques
- Use of advanced rehabilitation technology, such as Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), robotics, and virtual reality
