Neurology Physiotherapy Treatments

Welcome to The National Physio, where we are dedicated to transforming adults and children’s lives through expert neurological physiotherapy. Our highly skilled and compassionate team of neurological physiotherapists understand the unique challenges an individual faces when dealing with neurological conditions.
What is Neurological Physio?
Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physical therapy, targeting conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
What can Neurological Physiotherapy help with?
These represent just a small sampling of the conditions covered by The National Physio. With the field of neurological physiotherapy continuing to evolve, our physiotherapists adapt their approaches to address specific needs of patients with diverse neurological disorders.
How treatment is completed – patient centred for example.
At The National Physio, treatment is tailored to each individual patient for maximal results. A comprehensive and personalized assessment allows crucial insights to be made into your unique neurological challenges, providing a bespoke treatment regime to be established. A subjective and objective assessment is conducted, gathering both previous medical history, current symptoms and specific goals for your rehabilitation. Understanding your individual needs, concerns and aspirations is key to our assessments, ensuring a thorough but person-centred approach. A series of specialized neurological examinations evaluate your movement patterns, strength, coordination, balance and functional abilities. This holistic approach enables us to create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses not only the physical aspects of your condition but also considers your unique lifestyle and personal goals.
Types Of Therapy?
Explore the array of therapeutic modalities available at The National Physio, designed to promote healing, enhance mobility, and improve overall well-being in our patient's:
Our Therapies
Massage
Massage therapy is a hands-on approach within physiotherapy that involves the manipulation of soft tissues, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Massage not only aids promoting relaxation and reducing muscle tension, but also enhances blood circulation, facilitating the delivery of nutrients and oxygen to the tissues while removing metabolic waste products. Massage can also improve joint flexibility and range of motion, contributing to enhanced mobility. Integrating massage into physiotherapy sessions not only addresses physical ailments but also addresses the emotional and mental aspects of healing.
Resistance training
Resistance training, a key component of physiotherapy, involves performing exercises against resistance to improve muscular strength, endurance, and overall functional capacity. It helps increase muscle strength, providing better support to joints and improving overall stability. This, in turn, aids in preventing injuries and reducing pain associated with musculoskeletal conditions. Resistance training is also effective for enhancing bone density, promoting joint flexibility, and addressing muscle imbalances. At the National Physio, we integrate resistance training into our physiotherapy programs ensures a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation.
Neurological rehabilitation
Neurological rehabilitation within physiotherapy is a specialized approach designed to address impairments and functional limitations resulting from neurological conditions. The benefits of neurological rehabilitation are significant. It helps individuals regain independence in daily activities by enhancing motor skills and functional abilities. Our therapists employ a variety of techniques, including targeted exercises, gait training, and neuromuscular re-education, to stimulate neuroplasticity – the brain's ability to reorganize and adapt. Neurological rehabilitation contributes to improved muscle strength, coordination, and proprioception, facilitating better movement control. It also addresses issues related to spasticity, muscle stiffness, and balance deficits. Overall, this specialized form of physiotherapy empowers individuals with neurological conditions to maximize their potential, promoting greater mobility and a higher quality of life.
Gait re-education
Gait re-education within physiotherapy is an intervention aimed at improving an individual's walking pattern or gait. This targeted approach is beneficial for those experiencing challenges in walking due to musculoskeletal or neurological issues, injuries, or surgery. The benefits of gait re-educated are multifaceted. It helps restore normal walking mechanics, addressing issues such as limp, instability, or an uneven stride. Through specific exercises and gait training, our physiotherapists work to enhance muscle strength, joint flexibility, and coordination, ultimately promoting a smoother and more efficient walking pattern. Gait re-education is particularly valuable for individuals recovering from orthopaedic surgeries, neurological conditions, or injuries, as it contributes to improved mobility, reduced pain, and increased confidence in daily activities.
Balance training
Balance training is a targeted aspect of physiotherapy designed to enhance an individual's stability and reduce the risk of falls. This specialized training involves exercises and activities that challenge and improve proprioception, coordination, and overall equilibrium. t helps individuals develop a heightened sense of body awareness and control, contributing to improved posture and reduced muscle imbalances. Enhanced balance promotes increased confidence in daily activities, reducing the fear of falling. For those recovering from injuries, surgery, or individuals with neurological conditions, balance training plays a crucial role in restoring functional mobility. It also strengthens the core muscles and stabilizers, fostering greater joint stability.
Intensive therapy
At The National Physio, we offer intensive physiotherapy programmes for patients of all ages. Intensive therapy within the realm of physiotherapy involves a concentrated and focused approach to rehabilitation, often characterized by frequent and extended sessions over a relatively short period. This form of therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals facing acute or challenging conditions that require intensive intervention. The benefits of intensive therapy in physiotherapy are manifold. It allows for more concentrated efforts on targeted rehabilitation goals, fostering quicker progress in terms of mobility, strength, and functional improvement. Intensive therapy is often employed in post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological recovery, or situations where accelerated progress is crucial. This approach can result in improved outcomes, reduced recovery time, and enhanced overall well-being for individuals facing complex or time-sensitive rehabilitation needs. The individualized and concentrated nature of intensive therapy ensures that treatment plans are tailored to specific requirements, maximizing the potential for successful rehabilitation.
Mobility therapy
Mobility therapy in physiotherapy focuses on improving an individual's ability to move and function optimally. Our physiotherapists employ a variety of techniques, including stretching exercises, joint mobilization, and functional movement training, to promote better mobility and coordination. Additionally, mobility therapy aids in preventing secondary complications such as muscle atrophy or joint stiffness. By tailoring interventions to individual needs, mobility therapy in physiotherapy helps individuals regain confidence in their movement.
Lower limb and upper limb exercise programmes
Lower limb and upper limb exercise programs are integral components of physiotherapy, addressing specific needs related to the legs and arms, respectively. Lower limb programmes offer multiple benefits for patient's, including muscle strength, joint stability, gait improvement, pain management and functional mobility. Upper limb programmes promote muscle strength and endurance, joint flexibility, fine motor skills, postural improvements and functional independence. In both lower and upper limb exercise programs, we tailor the interventions to individual needs and conditions, ensuring a personalized and effective approach.
