What is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy is a type of therapy that is used to treat patients who have suffered from a neurological injury or illness. This type of physiotherapy can help improve the patient’s quality of life by helping them to regain movement and function.
Neurological injury or illness tends to affect the brain/spinal cord and nerves that control our muscles which therefore can lead to signs/symptoms such as reduced sensation, tight muscles (contractures), floppy muscles, paralysis, weakness, reduced strength, function, reduced grip
The Common Neurological Conditions Include:
Acute spinal cord injury
Traumatic injury that bruises, partially tears, or completely tears the spinal cord. SCI is a common cause of permanent disability. This spinal cord injury may occur from a fall, motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries, diving accidents, trampoline accidents, violence, infections that form abscess around spinal cord.
Concussion leading to neurological deficits
Head contact injury during sports, motor vehicle accidents, head on collision – anything that may cause high traumatic impact towards the skull.
Traumatic brain injury
Traumatic injuries from motor vehicle accidents, violence, falls.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ACL)
Motor neuron disease, degeneration of nerve cells in the spinal cord and brain and the nerves that control your muscles
