Our expert Neuro Physiotherapists provide assessment, tailored treatment and advice to improve the movement and function of those with new, and more longstanding, neurological conditions.
Neurological physiotherapy, also known as neuro physiotherapy, is a specialised branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the treatment and rehabilitation of individuals with neurological conditions or injuries affecting the nervous system. The nervous system includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body.
Our neurological physiotherapy service can help reduce pain, improve movement patterns, enhance muscle control, and address difficulties with everyday activities such as walking, reaching, or getting up from a chair. The ultimate goal is to enhance the person’s quality of life and maximise their functional abilities through targeted and specialised rehabilitation techniques.
Our neuro physiotherapy services are provided by the hugely experienced North London Neuro Physio team, who are based at our St John’s Wood Clinic.
We are also able to advise on inpatient neurological physiotherapy within the Wellington Hospital if that is required or requested.
Our neurological physiotherapy service aims to help people regain or improve their movement, function, and independence following neurological injury or disorders. It involves the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of various conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders.
The physiotherapist uses a combination of exercises, hands-on techniques and specific interventions tailored to your needs. They may focus on improving strength, balance, coordination, mobility, posture, and overall physical function.
Your neuro physiotherapy treatment plan is designed to promote neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to reorganise and form new connections to compensate for injured areas.
Right from the start, we will discuss with you how much or little input you may want from your physiotherapist.
From initial assessment, and during each follow up session, your physiotherapist will assess and discuss with you how you are moving and help you identify areas to work on and improve.
With longer standing conditions, we will be able to help you identify any habits which may have developed which can be altered to help you move forward again.
A home exercise programme is an important part of your therapy and may involve activities to help you move better, to strengthen weaker areas and to stretch.
We are happy for family members and/or carers to join the session if part of your home programme requires some hands-on help. We want you to feel confident in what you continue to do outside of your therapy sessions.
Regular exercise to improve fitness is understandably important for people with neurological conditions. We will work with you towards generating ways to manage this aspect of your overall health.
Part of the physiotherapist’s assessment and discussion with you will be about practical tasks and how supports and equipment may assist you to do them safely or more easily.
