Neurophysiotherapy

Neurophysiotherapy, or neurological physiotherapy, is a branch of physiotherapy which treats motor deficits arising from pathology in the nervous system.

Neurophysiotherapists specialise in the assessment and treatment of individuals who have neurological conditions. This means a problem associated with the central nervous system, namely the brain and spinal cord. Damage to your central nervous system, including your brain and spinal cord, means that the messages from your brain are not reaching the affected parts of your body in the normal way. This can result in loss of movement and sensation, uncoordinated movement, weak and floppy muscles, spasm and tremor, altered sensation.

Neurophysiotherapists are trained in the analysis of ‘normal movement’. This involves knowing how the body moves in ‘normal situations’ and how the biomechanics of the body work to allow efficient movement. We are also experienced in how to manage and treat the problems associated with a neurological injury.
