Neuro Physiotherapy
Our specialized neuro physiotherapy services are designed to help patients with neurological conditions regain function, independence, and quality of life. Our expert neurological physiotherapists use evidence-based approaches to address movement disorders, balance issues, and functional limitations resulting from conditions affecting the brain and nervous system.
What Is Neuro Physiotherapy?
Neuro physiotherapy (neurological physiotherapy) is a specialized branch of physiotherapy focused on treating individuals with disorders of the nervous system. This includes conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. Our neuro physiotherapists are trained to understand the complex relationship between the nervous system and movement, and how to facilitate recovery through neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.
Common Causes
Neuro Physiotherapy can be caused by various factors, including but not limited to:
- Stroke and cerebrovascular accidents
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Parkinson's disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Peripheral neuropathies
- Cerebral palsy
- Motor neuron disease

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a stroke should neuro physiotherapy begin?
Neuro physiotherapy should ideally begin as soon as the patient is medically stable, often within 24-48 hours after a stroke. Early intervention is crucial for maximizing recovery potential and preventing complications like muscle contractures and joint stiffness.
How long does neurological rehabilitation take?
The duration of neurological rehabilitation varies greatly depending on the condition, its severity, and individual factors. Some patients may need a few weeks of therapy, while others with more complex conditions may benefit from ongoing therapy for months or years. We provide realistic timelines based on your specific situation and regularly reassess progress.
Can neuro physiotherapy help with Parkinson's disease?
Yes, neuro physiotherapy is highly beneficial for people with Parkinson's disease. Our specialized programs focus on improving mobility, balance, posture, and gait patterns. We incorporate strategies to overcome freezing episodes, reduce fall risk, and maintain independence in daily activities. Regular physiotherapy can significantly slow the progression of physical symptoms.
