NDIS registered physiotherapists are university-trained allied health professionals who specialise in assessing, managing and treating conditions that affect your movement and function. Neurological physiotherapists focus on people with conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, brain injury and motor neurone disease. They use a holistic approach to improve your wellbeing, functional capacity and quality of life.
The nervous system is a complex and amazing structure that controls every movement, organ and sensation in your body. For movement to occur, signals need to travel freely along pathways connecting your brain, spinal cord, nerves and sensory systems (eyes, ears). If these structures are damaged due to a neurological condition you may experience muscle weakness, stiffness or spasticity, loss of balance or coordination, difficulty walking or transfers, changes in speech and swallowing or altered sensation. These impairments can significantly impact your ability to participate in your everyday activities at home, work and community.
Physio Inq https://myrehabteam.com.au/mobile-neurological-physiotherapy/ create custom treatment plans to improve the physical challenges you may be experiencing as a result of your neurological condition. These may involve facilitation techniques, exercise prescription, strength training or knowledge of specialist equipment and aides. In addition, your therapist will support you to manage symptoms such as pain, tremor, fatigue or impaired balance.
One of the key components of our neuro rehabilitation is utilising your brain’s ability to form new pathways, a process called neuroplasticity. Our physiotherapists are trained in this approach which involves repetitive task-orientated therapy and exercise to help you re-learn your movements and abilities following neurological impairments.
Our team of neurological physiotherapists are highly experienced in treating a wide range of neurological conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and acquired brain injury. They also have specialised expertise in managing musculoskeletal issues such as spasticity, balance problems, joint stiffness and gait/stability difficulties.
Whether you’re recovering from a recent stroke, living with progressive neurodegenerative diseases such as MS or Parkinson’s or have had a spinal cord injury, we can help you to regain your independence and live your best life. Our physiotherapists are experts in the latest evidence-based treatment approaches, so you can trust that your treatments are safe and effective.
