Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised form of physical therapy that focuses on helping individuals with neurological conditions improve their physical function, mobility, and quality of life. The goal of neurological physiotherapy is to help patients recover or adapt to changes in their movement and motor skills caused by neurological impairments. It takes advantage of the brain's ability to form new connections (neuroplasticity) to promote recovery.

Conditions we can provide treatment and rehabilitation for include:

• Stroke/ Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA)
• Multiple sclerosis
• Parkinson's disease
• Traumatic brain injury
• Spinal cord injuries
• Cerebral palsy
• Ataxia
• Aneurysm
• Transverse myelitis
• Functional neurological disorder
• Peripheral neuropathies such as Guillain-Barré Syndrome
• Long Covid
• Brachial plexus injury
• Brain tumour including rehabilitation post removal/resection

The treatment modalities used by Physiofit Physiotherapists are evidence based techniques, shown to be effective by scientific research. Each treatment plan follows an assessment and is personalised, taking into account the individual’s specific needs and goals. We aim to optimise physical health despite the neurological condition.

Treatment may include:

• Exercises to improve strength, mobility, balance, co-ordination and proprioception (e.g gait re-training, Pilates, strength training)
• Manual therapy techniques to improve mobility and reduce pain (e.g. soft tissue massage, myofascial release, Bobath techniques)
• Taping and strapping (including Kinesio taping)
• Education on how to manage daily activities more effectively
• Advice on assistive devices (e.g FES)
