Neuro Physiotherapy

A physiotherapist specialised in neurological conditions, who works to influence muscles, the nervous system and the brain.

What kind of conditions do you work with?

• Rehabilitation / recovery following an event such as a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury

• Exercises to strengthen muscles
• Stretches for joints and muscles
• Practise key movements such as getting out of bed or standing up
• Improve mobility (eg walking)
• Improve balance
• Address any problems with sensation
