Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of people with movement and function disorders arising from the nervous and neuromuscular system. 

Neurological physiotherapists provide interventions which assist an individual to regain or maintain maximum functional independence and enhance quality of life.

Common conditions a neurological physiotherapist can assist with include:

• Stroke
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Parkinson’s Disease
• Motor neuron disease
• Guillain-Barre Disease
• Balance disorders
• Neuromuscular conditions
• Facial paralysis
• Vestibular disorders (Hutt Valley only)

Therapy and rehabilitation stimulate the nervous system through therapeutic activities and exercises. 

We are able to assess and treat a wide range of impairments. The benefits include:

• Increased strength and muscle function
• Improved gait and mobility
• Improved posture
• Increased balance
• Spasticity and tone management
• Decreased pain
• Improved endurance
• Increased function and independence
