What to Expect from a Neurological Physiotherapy Session

Assessment 

During your initial session, the physiotherapist will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your medical history, current condition, and specific challenges. This detailed evaluation helps to identify your individual needs and set achievable goals for your rehabilitation journey.

Personalised Treatment Plan

Based on the assessment, your physiotherapist will create a tailored treatment plan focused on your unique circumstances. This plan may include various therapeutic techniques, exercises, and activities designed to enhance your mobility, strength, and overall quality of life.

Therapeutic Techniques

Neurological physiotherapy uses a range of specialised techniques aimed at improving movement and function. These may include muscle-strengthening exercises, balance training, coordination activities, and functional mobility exercises. The physiotherapist will guide you through each activity to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Family and Caregiver Involvement

We believe in the importance of involving family members and caregivers in the rehabilitation process. Your physiotherapist will provide guidance on how they can support you at home, reinforcing the skills learned during therapy sessions, ensuring continuity of care.

Use of Assistive Devices

If necessary, your physiotherapist may recommend and provide assistive devices or equipment, such as walking aids, to enhance your mobility and independence. They can also advise on adaptive tools that facilitate daily activities, making your environment more accessible.

Progress Evaluation and Follow-Up

Throughout your treatment, your physiotherapist will continuously assess your progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. Regular follow-up sessions ensure that you stay on track toward your goals, with opportunities for further support and referrals to additional services if required.

What is the Difference Between Neurological Physiotherapy and General Physiotherapy?

Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy is a personalised approach designed to help people recover from conditions like strokes, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, and Parkinson’s Disease. It focuses on re-learning movement and improving function and mobility. Physiotherapists specialising in this field conduct thorough assessments and set goals to enhance your quality of life, aiming to help you return to daily activities. Treatments include a variety of techniques such as muscle-strengthening exercises, stretching, joint movements, soft tissue massages, posture correction, range of motion exercises, lifestyle advice, energy management, movement education, and balance exercises.

General Physiotherapy

The treatments are focused more on musculoskeletal issues such as sprains, fractures, and post-surgery recovery. They aim to reduce pain, improve mobility, and help you return to normal activities. Physiotherapists use manual therapy, strength training, stretching, and other techniques to treat conditions like sports injuries, arthritis, and back pain.

Benefits of Neurological Physiotherapy

Improved Mobility and Functionality

Neurological physiotherapy helps enhance mobility through exercises and therapies designed for each person's needs. Whether recovering from a stroke or brain injury, physiotherapists work on improving movement and reducing limitations.

Better Quality of Life

Physiotherapy improves quality of life by addressing challenges such as balance issues and muscle weakness. Patients often gain confidence and independence in their daily activities.

Support for Caregivers

Caregivers are also educated on how to help effectively. This support helps caregivers understand the recovery process and provides practical strategies for assisting at home.

Long-Term Health Benefits

Regular treatment promotes long-term health benefits, such as increased muscle strength, better heart health, and reduced risk of complications related to neurological conditions.
