Neurological Physiotherapy?
is a specialized field within physiotherapy that focuses on the rehabilitation of individuals affected by neurological disorders. These conditions impact the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, leading to impairments in movement, balance, and coordination. Common neurological disorders addressed in this therapy include stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, and spinal cord injuries.
Objectives of Neurological Physiotherapy:
Enhance Motor Function?
Improve strength, flexibility, and coordination to restore normal movement patterns.
Promote Neuroplasticity?
Leverage the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, aiding in functional recovery.
Improve Balance and Coordination?
Implement strategies to reduce the risk of falls and enhance daily functional activities.
Manage Symptoms?
Leverage the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, aiding in functional recovery.
Therapeutic Approaches:
Customized exercises to strengthen muscles, improve range of motion, and enhance functional mobility
Hands-on techniques to mobilize joints and soft tissues, reducing pain and improving movement.
Activities designed to retrain the brain and nervous system to improve motor control and function.
Exercises aimed at improving balance and spatial orientation, reducing fall risk.
Guidance on managing symptoms, utilizing assistive devices, and incorporating therapeutic exercises into daily routines
