Neurological Physoitherapy
WHAT IS NEUROLOGICAL PHYSIOTHERAPY?
Neurological Physiotherapy specialises in the treatment of patients with disorders of movement, posture and function that arise from impairments of the body’s nervous and neuromuscular systems. These conditions often manifest themselves in loss of mobility function and muscle weakness, poor coordination, sensation loss, uncontrolled muscle activity such as spasticity and tremors, and loss of balance, or orientation.
