Neurological Physiotherapy or neurorehabilitation is a specialty within physiotherapy that deals with conditions that affect the functioning of the nervous system. The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
Importantly it’s this system of our body that controls all our movements. When there’s injury to the nervous system, normal coordinated movement is impaired. It can be difficult to move your limbs, to balance or walk.
Symptoms such as muscle weakness, muscle stiffness, incoordination, pain, impaired posture or balance all affect our quality of movement and impact everyday activities.
Neurorehabilitation specifically addresses these symptoms to help you move to the best of your ability.
