What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?

We assess and treat patients with a neurological injury or condition, resulting from damage to the brain, spinal cord or extremities of the body.  Our patients may experience weakness in their limbs, body or face. Aims of treatment is to overcome motor deficits in order to improve active movement and function. This is done through specialist handling/ facilitation, which encourages ‘normal movement’ patterns and therefore enables more efficient movement.

Conditions We Treat

We treat a variety of neurological conditions such as Stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Brain injury and Multiple sclerosis. Our specialist neurological physiotherapists are experts in analysing ‘normal’ and ‘abnormal’ movement patterns. Neurological physiotherapists have a wide knowledge of how the body and nervous system works in order to be able to help influence and aid recovery.

In conditions such as Stroke and Brain Injury, the area of damage to the brain can result in a disruption in normal function and movement. Through specialist handling and influencing the right movement patterns, we can help improve your mobility and recovery.

Some neurological conditions can be progressive in nature. As a condition develops your symptoms may worsen over time. This includes conditions such as Multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease (along with others). As experienced neurological physiotherapists, we can help delay/slow down physical deterioration by providing specialist input to help maintain your mobility and independence for as long as possible. We are experienced in knowing how to treat and manage problems associated with neurological injury.

We can empower individuals throughout their rehabilitation process in order to help achieve goals and improve quality of life following a neurological injury or condition. Every person is different which is why we assess and treat each person on an individual basis in order to develop a tailored programme to your needs, providing regular reviews where and when necessary.

How Our Therapy Helps You

All of our treatment plans focus on restoring independence to our patients. Therapy can be multi-disciplinary where required and is individually tailored. We create home exercise programmes and deliver training to family and support workers – educating them to help you manage your condition.

Our ‘hands on’ therapy approach helps to improve movement, sensation, balance and function which will help increase your independence and quality of life. We can provide appropriate exercises tailored to your needs and/or set up a gym routine. There may be alternative activities such as horse riding, cycling or skiing that you would like to return to or try. We can help assess and provide advice and input for you so that you can safely return to completing these activities.

We have innovative therapies such as immersive and non-immersive virtual reality therapies. These therapies can help influence recovery through virtual stimulation while focusing on increasing activity and independence. These therapies can challenge movement, strength, balance, coordination, sensation, attention and cognition.

At Neurotherapy Worx we have access to aquatic therapy (hydrotherapy) where we can assess and set up a plan of exercise (and relaxation) in the water. A period of aquatic therapy can be provided within your rehabilitation plan and/or set up for you to complete with a family member/s or carers with regular reviews and progression of exercises within your programme.

We have access to a new Functional electrical stimulation (FES) device which can help you if you have problems with foot drop (lower limb weakness) due to neurological injury. FES can help improve the efficiency of your walking so that it is less effortful. Once set up, this device is very user friendly and can help improve the quality of your walking.
