NEUROLOGICAL PHYSIO BENDIGO
ABOUT US
Neurological Physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of people with movement and function disorders, which have originated from problems within the body’s nervous and neuromuscular systems.
Due to the complexities of the central nervous system, people with neurological conditions can have a variety of impairments. These may include muscle tightness or spasm, weakness, tremors, poor balance, reduced coordination, and altered sensation. These symptoms can lead to problems with everyday activities such as walking, getting dressed and eating (to name a few).
The aim of Neurological Physiotherapy is to enable individuals with neurological injuries/disease to function as effectively as they can in everyday life. Therapists are trained in the analysis of ‘normal movement’. This involves understanding normal movement patterns, and how the biomechanics of the body work. If normal patterns are impaired, Neurological Physiotherapists can use a variety of techniques to facilitate better efficiency of movement.
