Neurological physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy is the treatment of patients who have a neurological disorder. Neurological disorders are those affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves; such as stroke, MS and Parkinson’s disease.
Treatment in neurological conditions is typically based upon exercises to restore motor function through attempting to overcome motor deficits and improve motor patterns. To achieve this aim various theoretical frameworks have been promoted, each based upon inferences drawn from basic and clinical science research. Whilst some of these have remained static, others are designed to take into account new developments, perhaps the most notable example being the “movement science” framework.
The various philosophies often generate considerable debate. Our Neurorehabilitation Services involve the holistic rehabilitation and therapy we provide to individuals with neurological disorders or injuries (Stroke, Spinal Cord Injury, Dementia, Parkinsonian syndrome, etc.).
These services aim to improve function, reduce symptoms, and enhance the overall quality of life for people affected by conditions. We also work with other Rehabilitation experts like occupational therapy, speech-language therapy, and other assist in all interventions tailored to address specific neurological challenges.
