Neuro Physiotherapy

NEURO PHYSIOTHERAPY AND REHABILITATION IN HAMILTON

Your brain, spinal cord, and the peripheral nerves make up your neurological system in the body. When you have a neurological condition, you might have difficulty with physical functions like mobility, muscle strength, range of motion and balance. These neurological conditions can be helped with neuro physiotherapy.

The treatments ease symptoms, improve mobility, and support cognitive function. Part of the goal is to regulate your nervous system to create a more stable environment for the spinal cord, which impacts the whole body.

As with any physiotherapy treatment, neuro physio begins with a thorough assessment of your condition. Evaluations of your sensory capacity, motor function, reflexes, gait, balance, and co-ordination give your neuro physiotherapist the information they need. Your neuro physiotherapist observes how you walk, your posture, your muscle tone and spasticity. From there, you and your neuro physiotherapist here at Innova Physiotherapy in Hamilton develop an appropriate treatment plan.

What is neurological physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy treats patients with many different neurological conditions like:

  • Concussion
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Stroke
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Alzheimer’s
  • Huntington’s
  • Spinal or brain tumours
  • Multiple sclerosis
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Progressive nerve palsies
  • Guillian-Barre syndrome
  • Muscular dystrophy

Treatment is focused on your specific condition and symptoms, so neurological physiotherapy treatment aims to:

  • Maximize your physical and cognitive potential
  • Rehabilitate
  • Slow down physical deterioration and neurological disease progression of symptoms
  • Help children achieve developmental milestones

Because your brain is capable of adapting following an injury, neurological physiotherapy employs a problem-solving approach. We adapt your treatment based on your symptoms and the extent of your injuries. Your neuro physiotherapist will encourage movement and strengthen your muscles using sensory stimulation, reinforcement, and feedback.
