Overview

What this care covers

Neurological physiotherapy helps people who have movement or function problems caused by a condition affecting the brain, spinal cord or nerves. Therapists use the brain's ability to form new connections, known as neuroplasticity, to help you recover movement and confidence. It is commonly used after a stroke or spinal cord injury, and for people living with Parkinson's disease, Multiple Sclerosis or similar conditions.
