With aging, people tend to lose strength, flexibility and develop balance disorders and so, maintaining the desired level of fitness becomes increasingly challenging. Serious injury could be caused by loss of these functions. Physiotherapy helps improve these functions.
Whether they are managing a long-term illness or just want to improve their general health and mobility, physiotherapy can be of great help to seniors and can help retain their independence.
The goal of physiotherapy is to reduce pain, increase mobility for better strength and balance and help restore and improve functionality.
Damage to the central nervous system, brain or spinal cord would mean that messages from the brain do not reach the affected parts of the body which can result in loss of movement, sensation, uncoordinated movement, weak and floppy muscles, spasm and tremor.
Neurological Physiotherapy jump-starts the message pathways that the brain is struggling to use, to make new pathways through repetitive actions and exercises. Neurological Physiotherapy can improve symptoms like difficulties with loss of hand and arm functions, or leg and foot functions, loss of balance, difficulty in walking, spasticity and pain.
Our Neurological physiotherapists are experts in the treatment of all neurological conditions, including Head Injuries, Spinal Cord Injuries, Stroke and Parkinson's.
