What We Do
Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurological Physiotherapy is an area of Physiotherapy that focuses on the treatment of individuals with neurological conditions.
Neurological conditions are disorders that affect the function of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
Damage to the central nervous system, including the brain and spinal cord results in the messages from your brain being confused or not being able to reach the affected parts of the body. This can result in loss of movement, lost or changed sensation, uncoordinated movement, weak muscles or muscles that don’t work at all or tight muscles or spasticity. There can also be spasms and tremors.
Neurological conditions that are treated by neurological physiotherapy include:
- Stroke
- Head injury
- Spinal cord injuries
- MS ( multiple Sclerosis)
- Parkinson’s
- CP ( cerebral palsy)
- MD ( motor neurone disease)
Neurological physiotherapy can help to improve symptoms such as loss of arm/hand function, loss of leg and foot function, poor balance, spasticity or tight muscles, pain and walking.
Treatment
Treatment starts with a detailed and comprehensive assessment to establish individual needs and goals.
Treatment aims at improving the message pathways from the brain to the limbs or by making new pathways. Neuroplasticity is the process that enables your brain to renew these pathways and this is dependent on making specific repetitive movements.
