Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy involves the treatment of people with movement and function disorders that have originated from problems within the body’s nervous and neuromuscular system. These conditions often manifest themselves as muscle weakness, poor balance and coordination, uncontrolled muscle spasm and tremors, loss of function and decreased sensation.

Neurological Physiotherapy is able to kick-start the message pathways that the Patient's brain is struggling to use, to make new pathways through repetitive actions and exercises, in the guidance of Physiotherapist. Patients undergoing Neurological Physiotherapy can improve symptoms such as, difficulties with loss of balance, loss of hand and arm, or leg and foot function, walking, spasticity and pain. It is a process that centrally involves the patient in making plans and setting goals that are important and relevant to their own particular Neurological Issues
