  • How Neurological Physical Therapy works
  • The methods used in neurological physiotherapy
    vary depending on the condition being treated.
    However, some of the most common methods include
  • Exercises Neuro physiotherapists often use a
    variety of exercises to help improve strength,
    balance, and mobility. These exercises can be
    tailored to meet the specific needs of each
    individual patient. Specific breathing exercises
    may also be added to your therapy program to help
    prevent respiratory complications such as chest
    infections.

  • Mobilisation and mobility aid prescription
    Neuro physiotherapists may help improve your
    mobility by prescribing a variety of devices,
    such as wheelchairs, walking aids, and other
    mobility aids.
  • Education Neuro physiotherapists will provide
    you with information to help you manage the
    symptoms of your condition. They may also
    recommend specific exercises for you to do at
    home or in a gym that can help improve your
    symptoms.
  • Thermotherapy Neuro physiotherapy may involve
    the use of heat pads or ice packs to help ease
    pain.

9
  • Splinting and Positioning- These methods can help
    to reduce muscle spasm and pain by achieving
    correct limb positioning.
  • Pacing Neuro physio is a form of physical
    therapy that involves teaching people how to
    manage their condition, often by pacing
    themselves during activities and allowing for
    rest periods. This can allow people with chronic
    conditions to function at their best over the
    long term.

10
  • Manual therapy Manual therapy techniques use
    gentle pressure or force to help reduce pain,
    relax muscles, and increase mobility.
  • Electrotherapy Neuro physiotherapy may involve
    the use of electrical stimulation equipment to
    help improve circulation, bladder function, bowel
    function, muscle strength, coordination, balance
    and sensory functions. Neuro physiotherapists are
    specially trained in using this type of equipment
    safely and effectively.
  • Neuro physiotherapy sessions often comprise a
    combination of these techniques.

11
  • Benefits of Neurological Physical Therapy
  • Neurological physical therapy can help improve a
    persons mobility, strength, balance, and
    coordination. It can also help reduce pain and
    muscle spasms, and improve bladder and bowel
    function. Neuro physiotherapy can also help
    people with neurological conditions to live a
    more independent life.

  • How to find a good Neuro Physiotherapy clinic
  • If youre looking for a good neuro physiotherapy
    clinic, there are a few things you should
    consider. The first thing to look for is a clinic
    that has a lot of experience treating
    neurological conditions. The clinic should also
    have a team of therapists who are specialized in
    neurological physiotherapy.
  • The clinic should also be able to offer a range
    of services, including assessment, treatment, and
    rehabilitation with ongoing support.

    neurological physiotherapy services are better

    exercises outside of our sessions to ensure
    continued improvements throughout the week.

    and advice. This is important for people who are
