Neurological Physiotherapy

Picture

What is neurological physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy refers to the rehabilitation of an adult experiencing a neurological impairment. Neuro physiotherapy, or neuro rehab as it is also widely known, is a way of helping neuro patients to accelerate their recovery and improve their quality of life.

Here at The Physio Co, we have experience in treating various neurological conditions. They include:
  • Head injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Motor neurone disease
  • Stroke
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS)


How does neurological physiotherapy help?

Neurological physiotherapy can help to improve life for patients with various neurological conditions. For those with progressive diseases, such as MS and Parkinson's, an on-going programme of neuro rehab can help to maximise quality of life.

For those experiencing non-progressive neurological conditions, including acquired brain injury, neurological physiotherapy can help get them on the road to recovery.

What next?

During your visit you will undergo an initial assessment which will allow us to establish your current functional level and specific requirements. We will then devise an on-going treatment programme in line with your needs.
