Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy that focuses on treating individuals with disorders of the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.
How can we help with Neurological physiotherapy?
- Conditions treated include stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and cerebral palsy.
- Goals: Improve motor control, balance, coordination, posture, and functional independence.
- Common techniques:
- Neurodevelopmental therapy
- Balance and gait training

Neurological physiotherapy plays a crucial role in enhancing mobility, reducing complications, and promoting neuroplasticity (the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt).
