What is Neurological Physiotherapy? Neurological Physiotherapy is a highly specialist field of physiotherapy which focuses on addressing movement and functional changes caused by disorders or injuries affecting the brain and nervous system. Our Home Physio Company specialists treat a variety of neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injuries. Neurological conditions such as these can have a small or profound impact on a person’s physical functioning and quality of life. Because of the complexity of the brain and nervous system, neurological conditions can cause a few to many impairments some of which are muscle weakness, coordination difficulties, sensory disturbances and balance changes.
Getting to a clinic can be difficult when living with a Neurological Condition, that’s why we bring the expert and the clinic directly to your door.
Neurological Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in helping individuals regain independence, maximise physical function, and enhance overall well-being. There are a wide range of treatment techniques and methods that are used by our specialists. Treatment plans may include gait re-training, strengthening exercises, balance programs, hands on movement facilitation, restraint training are examples. Sometimes we recommend splinting to improve joint alignment or to facilitate with improving gait.

Why have Neurological Rehabilitation at Home?
Physiotherapy Rehabilitation after an acute neurological event can be really beneficial, particularly so within the first one to two years following the event but it can also be beneficial after this period too.
