Neurophysiotherapy

Neurological physical therapy plays a crucial role in rehabilitation for individuals with neurological conditions. Here’s how it helps:

  1. Muscle Use and Strength: Physical therapy increases muscle use in weakened areas, promoting strength and function.
  2. Motor Control and Coordination: Therapists work on improving motor control and coordination, helping patients regain movement abilities.
  3. Balance Enhancement: Neurological physical therapy focuses on balance training, which is essential for daily tasks and mobility.
  4. Independence: By facilitating independence in daily activities, physical therapy empowers patients to navigate challenges posed by neurological conditions.

Overall, it aims to restore functional mobility, strength, and quality of life for those affected by conditions like stroke, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson’s disease

Certainly! Neurophysiotherapy, also known as neurological physical therapy, focuses on restoring functional mobility, strength, balance, and coordination in individuals with neurological conditions that impact their quality of life and movement abilities. Here are some common neurological conditions treated by neurophysiotherapists:

  1. Stroke: Neurophysiotherapy helps individuals recover after a stroke by addressing muscle weakness, balance issues, and mobility challenges.
  2. Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) or Head Injury: Individuals with TBI benefit from Neurophysiotherapy to regain movement control and improve overall function.
  3. Spinal Cord Injury: Neurophysiotherapy assists those with spinal cord injuries in enhancing muscle strength, managing stiffness, and improving balance.
  4. Multiple Sclerosis (MS): People with MS, a disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord, can benefit from on-going Neurophysiotherapy to maintain optimal well-being.
  5. Parkinson’s disease: Neurophysiotherapy helps manage symptoms such as muscle rigidity, tremors, and impaired balance in Parkinson’s disease patients.

6. Cervical and lumbar Radiculopathies: Cervical and lumbar radiculopathies can indeed be treated by physiotherapists. In These conditions when a spinal nerve in your neck / lower back becomes irritated or compressed, leading to symptoms like neck pain/back pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in your arm and hand/leg and foot. Physiotherapy can help here by providing pain relief through different modalities followed by rehabilitation protocol for normal restoration of muscle function.

7. Bell’s palsyis a condition characterized by facial paralysis resulting from dysfunction of Cranial Nerve VII (the Facial Nerve).  Physiotherapy can play a role in managing Bell’s palsy by Strengthening Muscles and Improving Blood Circulation. Physiotherapist provides Facial Exercises which target facial muscles, promoting better muscle tone and function.
