Neurological Physiotherapy for Spinal Cord Injury

A spinal cord injury can dramatically affect movement, sensation, and independence. Neurological physiotherapy is a crucial part of the rehabilitation journey, helping individuals regain function, confidence, and quality of life.

How Physiotherapy Supports Spinal Cord Injury Recovery

Maximising Physical Function: Targeted exercises help restore movement, build strength, and improve flexibility in affected areas.
Mobility Training: Rehabilitation includes gait retraining, transfers, and wheelchair skills to support safe and independent movement.
Pain Management: Techniques such as manual therapy, stretching, and hydrotherapy can relieve discomfort and reduce muscle tightness.
Preventing Complications: Regular therapy lowers the risk of secondary issues like joint stiffness, pressure sores, and reduced cardiovascular health.
Enhancing Independence: Physiotherapy empowers patients to maximize their abilities, supporting greater independence in daily life.
