Neurological Conditions

What is neuro physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is a specialized field within physiotherapy that focuses on evaluating and treating individuals with neurological conditions affecting the central nervous system. The approach involves a thorough assessment of movement, strength, coordination, and functional abilities, followed by the development of a personalized treatment plan.

Treatment modalities may include exercises, balance training, manual therapy techniques, and interventions based on neurodevelopmental facilitation and motor learning principles to promote neuroplasticity. The therapist closely monitors progress and collaborates with the individual, their family, and the healthcare team to facilitate active participation in the rehabilitation process.
