What is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological Physiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy which focuses on the treatment of individuals who suffer from neurological disorders. A neurological disorder is a disease which affects the functioning of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Examples of neurological disorders include stroke, Parkinson’s disease and Multiple Sclerosis.
Neurological conditions can have a devastating, life changing effect upon the lives of sufferers and the sufferers’ families and friends. Individuals who suffer from a neurological disorder often have difficulty carrying out everyday tasks usually taken for granted. Therefore, the main focus of neurological physiotherapy is to provide interventions which help each individual to regain and maintain the maximum movement and functional independence possible.
Neurological physiotherapists help individuals with neurological conditions to improve their quality of life and realise their potential through a range of treatment approaches:
- Stretching and Strengthening
- Management of muscle tone
- Balance re-education
- Task practice
- Gait re-education
