Neurological Rehabilitation
Movement, balance and functional retraining for people living with neurological conditions.
Neurological conditions can change the way messages travel between the brain, spinal cord and muscles. That may show up as weakness on one side, altered balance, changed muscle tone or difficulty coordinating a familiar movement.
Neurological physiotherapy uses repeated, task-focused practice to work on the activities you want to do more easily, such as sitting to standing, walking safely indoors or managing stairs with support.
Who this helps: People affected by stroke, nerve injury or long-term neurological conditions who want to work on movement and independence.
