NEURO REHABILITATION/OLDER ADULTS

Neuro physiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy focusing on the restoration of movement and function following an insult to the brain, spinal cord or extremities. Neurological physiotherapists are experts in analysing movement with the expertise to treat a wide variety of impairments. During your initial assessment I will look at your movement and function including specific impairments that may be impacting on your day to day function such as sensation, coordination, strength, flexibility and changes in muscle tone. I will work with you to generate a personalised treatment plan keeping your goals and aspirations at the centre of your care.
