Neurological Physiotherapy for Stroke Recovery

A stroke can be a life-changing event, affecting movement, sensation, and independence. Neurological physiotherapy is a vital part of the recovery process, helping individuals regain function, confidence, and quality of life.

What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised branch of rehabilitation focused on conditions affecting the nervous system, such as stroke.

How Neurological Physiotherapy Supports Stroke Recovery

Restoring Movement and Strength: Targeted exercises help rebuild muscle strength, improve flexibility, and restore mobility in affected areas.
Improving Balance and Coordination: Training helps reduce the risk of falls and supports safe movement.
Managing Pain and Spasticity: 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 and pressure sores.
Enhancing Independence: Physiotherapy empowers patients to maximize their abilities, supporting greater independence in daily life.
