Neurophysiotherapy is a specialist branch of physiotherapy dedicated to improving the function of patients who have suffered physical impairment caused by neurological conditions.
- The aim of neurophysiotherapy is to help rehabilitate physical impairments caused by neurological conditions as already mentioned.
- It is tailored to the specific needs of each individual with a personalized 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.
- Neurophysiotherapy is different from traditional physiotherapy in that it takes advantage of this phenomenon, helping the brain to form new synaptic connections.
- In effect, it rewires the brain to learn or re-learn tasks and abilities.
- At Walk & Win Physio, we provide home care neuro-physiotherapy to restore activities of daily living.
