Neurology Physiotherapy Treatments
Living with a neurological condition can be challenging but you do not have to face it alone. Our team of specialist physiotherapists are here to guide you with expert treatment and compassionate support.
01
What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physical therapy targeting conditions affecting the brain spinal cord and peripheral nerves.
02
Who Do We Treat?
We work with both adults and children facing neurological challenges including stroke brain injury multiple sclerosis cerebral palsy Parkinsons and more. Every programme is tailored to the individual.
03
Our Approach
Our treatment is client centred combining hands on therapy structured exercise and modern rehabilitation techniques. We focus on achievable goals meaningful progress and long term quality of life.
Conditions we treat
Every condition is unique and we are here to support your journey with expert compassionate care.
Stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is disrupted, leading to damage and loss of function. This can affect movement, speech, balance and daily independence. Physiotherapy supports recovery by retraining movement, improving strength, enhancing balance and promoting functional skills needed for everyday life.
Traumatic brain injury results from accidents, falls, infections or medical conditions and can disrupt brain function and development. It often leads to physical, cognitive and behavioural challenges. Physiotherapy helps by restoring motor function, preventing contractures, improving coordination and building independence in daily activities.
Multiple sclerosis is a long term condition of the central nervous system that causes inflammation and damage to the protective coating of nerve fibres. This disrupts communication between brain and body, leading to fatigue, stiffness and coordination problems. Physiotherapy supports mobility, balance, strength and energy management for people living with MS.
Parkinsons is a progressive neurological condition caused by a reduction in dopamine producing cells in the brain. This leads to symptoms such as tremor, rigidity, slowness of movement and difficulties with balance. Physiotherapy focuses on improving mobility, posture and confidence while helping to manage stiffness and maintain independence.
Cerebral palsy is a group of neurological conditions that affect movement, posture and muscle coordination. Physiotherapy is central to its management, supporting motor development, strength, flexibility and walking ability. Tailored therapy helps children and adults improve function and achieve personal goals.
Injury to the spinal cord or peripheral nerves can cause loss of movement, sensation and mobility. Rehabilitation programmes include strengthening, mobility training, balance exercises and pain management. Physiotherapy is focused on maximising independence and helping each individual adapt to their new level of function.
Guillain Barre syndrome is a rare condition where the immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, causing weakness, numbness and in some cases paralysis. Physiotherapy is vital for maintaining joint movement, preventing muscle wasting and supporting functional rehabilitation. With early and consistent therapy many patients can regain strength and independence over time.
Movement and neuromuscular disorders affect the normal control of muscles, leading to problems with strength, coordination and mobility. These conditions can be linked to genetic factors, injury, infection, autoimmune conditions or degenerative changes in the nervous system. Physiotherapy focuses on improving control, building muscle strength and promoting safe functional movement.
Developmental delays occur when children do not reach expected milestones in areas such as motor skills, speech, learning or social interaction. Early intervention is essential to maximise a childs potential and reduce future challenges. Physiotherapy supports motor development, coordination and independence while helping families build a strong foundation for long term growth and wellbeing.
Therapies We Use
From hands on therapy to advanced rehab every approach is tailored to your needs.
Massage therapy is a hands on technique that works on soft tissues such as muscles, tendons and ligaments. It promotes relaxation, eases muscle tension and improves circulation, helping nutrients and oxygen reach the tissues while removing waste products. Massage can also support joint flexibility and range of motion, which enhances mobility and overall wellbeing.
Resistance training uses exercises against resistance to build strength, endurance and functional capacity. It supports joints by strengthening muscles, improves stability and reduces the risk of injury. It also promotes bone density and addresses muscle imbalances. At The National Physio we integrate resistance training into rehabilitation programmes to provide a complete approach to recovery.
Neurological rehabilitation is designed to improve movement and function following conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord or nerves. Our therapists use targeted exercise, gait training and motor re education to encourage neuroplasticity, the brains ability to adapt and reorganise. This therapy helps with strength, coordination, stiffness and balance, enabling people with neurological conditions to achieve greater independence and quality of life.
Gait re education focuses on restoring a safe and efficient walking pattern. It benefits people whose walking has been affected by injury, surgery or neurological conditions. Our therapists address issues such as limping, instability or uneven stride, using exercise and training to improve strength, flexibility and coordination. This helps promote smoother movement, reduced pain and increased confidence in everyday mobility.
Balance training strengthens stability, reduces the risk of falls and improves posture and coordination. It challenges proprioception and body awareness through targeted exercises. This type of therapy builds confidence for daily tasks and is especially valuable for people recovering from surgery, injury or neurological conditions. It also strengthens the core and stabilising muscles, supporting long term joint health.
Intensive therapy involves frequent and extended sessions delivered over a shorter period of time. It is particularly beneficial for people recovering from surgery or complex neurological conditions where faster progress is needed. Concentrated therapy allows focused work on specific goals, leading to quicker improvements in mobility, strength and function, and reducing overall recovery time.
Mobility therapy helps restore safe and confident movement. Our physiotherapists use stretching, joint mobilisation and functional training to improve coordination and prevent issues such as muscle wasting or stiffness. By tailoring treatment to each person, we aim to restore comfort in movement and build confidence in everyday activities.
Exercise programmes for the lower and upper limbs focus on strength, stability and function in the legs and arms. Lower limb programmes support gait, joint health and mobility, while upper limb programmes enhance flexibility, fine motor skills, posture and independence. Each plan is personalised to individual needs, ensuring a targeted and effective approach.
