How will neurological physiotherapy help me?
Although a person may have a specific neurological condition, each person will be affected differently in the way the disease manifests.
That is where having a specially trained neurological physiotherapist be very useful. The physiotherapist will conduct a through evaluation of your functional level, balance, coordination, sensation, strength, and muscle tone.
Based on the findings of the assessment, the rehabilitation program will be specially designed to target key areas of impairment.
We will set goals of treatment together so we can work on what is the most important for you. We will work with you towards achieving as much independence as possible.
We will assess your balance, coordination, muscle strength, joint flexibility, and function. Then, we’ll create a personalised exercise plan to enhance your walking, balance, arm movement, and overall mobility for community activities.
We can advise you on sitting postures which can pre-dispose you to developing joint and muscular contractions – which will reduce your functional abilities. We can provide advice regarding splints or electrical stimulation devices which can improve your function.
If you are in pain or have suffer from muscle tightness due to your condition, we will perform soft tissue techniques to relieve your pain and make you feel more comfortable.
