Neurophysiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that focuses on the treatment of individuals with neurological conditions or injuries, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and brain injury. While physiotherapy addresses musculoskeletal and cardiorespiratory conditions, neurophysiotherapy targets the unique challenges of neurological impairments, including cognitive, sensory, and motor deficits. Neurophysiotherapists use advanced techniques, such as neuroplasticity-based exercises and sensory re-education, to promote recovery and maximize functional ability in individuals with complex neurological conditions.

Neurophysiotherapy Emphasizes:
1. Rewiring the brain through repetition and learning.
2. Managing spasticity, abnormal tone, or postural issues.
3. Addressing cognitive or sensory deficits that accompany neurological conditions.

Neurophysiotherapy involves a wide range of techniques and strategies designed to help individuals with neurological conditions improve their movement, function, and quality of life. It’s grounded in neuroscience and heavily relies on the principles of neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and form new connections.

1. Comprehensive Assessment:-

Evaluation of:
⦿ Muscle tone (spasticity, flaccidity)
⦿ Posture and balance
⦿ Gait (walking)
⦿ Motor control and coordination
⦿ Sensation and proprioception
⦿ Cognition (if relevant)

Identification of functional goals important to the patient (e.g., walking independently, using an arm again, improving speech-related movement).

2. Individualized Treatment Planning:-

Treatment Plans are tailored to each person’s:
⦿ Condition (e.g., stroke, MS, Parkinson’s,etc)
⦿ Abilities and limitations
⦿ Personal goals
⦿ Stage of recovery (acute, subacute, chronic)

Your initial physiotherapy assessment will typically last around 45-60 minutes. During this time, your physiotherapist will take a thorough medical history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and perform a physical examination to identify the underlying causes of your condition. This may include a range of tests and measures, such as movement analysis, strength testing, and palpation. Your physiotherapist will then use this information to develop a personalized treatment plan, which will be discussed with you in detail. This comprehensive approach ensures we address the root cause of your issue, not just the symptoms.

When attending your physiotherapy assessment, it's essential to come prepared to get the most out of your session. Please bring any relevant documents, such as doctor's referrals, medical reports, or test results. Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows easy access to the area of concern. If applicable, bring any orthotics, splints, or assistive devices you use. Additionally, arrive 10-15 minutes prior to your appointment to complete any necessary paperwork. Our physiotherapists will take care of the rest, so you can focus on your recovery.
