Neurological physiotherapy is a specialized field of physiotherapy that focuses on treating patients with neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries. The goal of neurological physiotherapy is to help patients regain mobility, improve function, and manage symptoms associated with neurological impairments.
Treatment techniques often include exercises to strengthen muscles, improve balance and coordination, and restore normal movement patterns. Therapists may also employ neuroplasticity techniques to help the brain relearn movement skills after a neurological event, such as a stroke.
Neurological physiotherapy is critical for improving quality of life, increasing independence, and enhancing overall mobility and function for individuals with neurological conditions.
