Neuro physiotherapy is a specialist branch of physiotherapy dedicated to improving the function of patients who have suffered physical impairment caused by neurological conditions.
Any neurological condition that affects movement and physical ability can be treated using neuro physiotherapy.
Depending on the medical condition, the effects may range from motor deficits, paralysis, tremor and spasm to ataxia or lack of sensation. This is because damage to the central nervous system can lead to the breakdown of pathways carrying nerve signals to and from muscles and organs, causing the symptoms of neurological conditions.
The aim of neuro physiotherapy is to help rehabilitate physical impairments caused by neurological conditions. It is tailored to the specific needs of each individual with a personalised goal-oriented target. For example, does the patient need big improvements such as learning to walk again, or is it small fine movements that need correction? This will be determined by trained neurological physiotherapists on an initial visit.
The brain is able to both lose and form new connections, a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. Neuro physiotherapy is different from traditional physiotherapy in that it takes advantage of this phenomenon, helping the brain to form new connections. In effect, it rewires the brain to learn or re-learn tasks and abilities.
