Neuro Physiotherapy, also known as neurological physiotherapy or neurorehabilitation, focuses on rehabilitating individuals with neurological conditions or injuries affecting the brain, spinal cord, or nerves. Injuries to the central nervous syndrome can stop or reduce communication between the brain and different parts of the body. This may cause clients to suffer movement loss, numbness, reduced coordination, and spasms, hence affecting their ability to function in their daily lives.
A neurophysiotherapist specializes in treating our clients with neurological conditions affecting the nervous system. They assess clients’ movement abilities and design personalized rehabilitation plans to improve mobility, strength, balance, and coordination. This involves exercises, gait and balance training, neuromuscular re-education, manual therapy, and educating clients about their condition. Our primary goal is to help clients improve their movement and function, maximize their physical potential, and enhance their overall well-being.
Our team is experienced in treating most cases related to the neurological or vestibular system such as the ones below. Other conditions we can see include Cranial traumas, Brain tumours, Vestibular neuronitis and more.
For Stroke Patients, the focus will be on improving mobility, function, and independence through gait training, functional rehabilitation, and motor relearning techniques. Physiotherapists also address balance, coordination, and spasticity management while providing education and support to stroke survivors and their caregivers.
Vestibular Physiotherapy treatment is an effective way to resolve disorders like BPPV. Medications may only reduce the symptoms of nausea and vomiting, but they are not effective in treating the root cause. Physiotherapy treatment includes repositioning manoeuvres to relieve the symptoms of BPPV. Your head will be placed at different movements and angles to move the otoconia from your semicircular canals back into the otolith organs in your ear.
Physiotherapists begin treatment by evaluating their clients’ physical capabilities, establishing rehabilitation goals, and crafting individualised exercise plans. They emphasise improving mobility, balance, fall prevention, and gait retraining. Through personalised interventions and continuous support, physiotherapists assist Parkinson’s disease clients in maximising their physical potential and sustaining independence in everyday activities.
