Neurophysiotherapy

What is neurophysiotherapy?
Neurophysiotherapy is a branch of physiotherapy focused on treating individuals with neurological disorders or conditions affecting the nervous system (the brain, the spinal cord and the peripheral nerves). 

Who needs neurophysiotherapy?
Patients who suffer from neurological injuries or disorders often require extensive rehabilitation to regain the ability to perform everyday tasks.

  • Stroke: A neurological condition that can impair movement, coordination and function. Neurophysiotherapy helps stroke survivors retrain their muscles and regain independence.
  • Parkinson's disease: A progressive neurological disorder that affects movement control, often leading to balance and functional issues. Physiotherapy can improve mobility, posture and balance.
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS): Is a autoimmune condition that affects the central nervous system, leading to muscle weakness, fatigue and coordination difficulties. Regular physiotherapy helps manage these symptoms and enhance quality of life.

What are the benefits of neurophysiotherapy?
Neurophysiotherapy offers a wide range of benefits for individuals dealing with neurological conditions, including:

  • Improved mobility: Neuro physiotherapy helps patients regain movement and flexibility through tailored exercises, enabling them to perform daily activities more easily.
  • Better balance: Specific exercises and techniques target balance and coordination, reducing the risk of falls and promoting greater stability in movement.
  • Increased Strength: Techniques such as manual therapy and therapeutic exercises can relieve pain associated with neurological conditions.
  • Functional Independence: Neurophysiotherapy focuses on practical strategies that allow individuals to participate in daily activities, fostering greater independence.
