Introduction To Neuro Physiotherapy & Its Inherent Advantages For Patients

Share :

For patients who are impacted by any injury, disability, or illness, their motor functions are disrupted, along with regular movements of joints, muscles, and tendons.

In such cases, Physiotherapy can help them to heal, and recover faster.

In Neuro Physiotherapy, patients with neurological conditions are treated, and their condition of physical impairment is improved by keeping their joints flexible and muscles active.

In this blog, we will understand more about Neuro Physiotherapy, and how it can benefit the patients.

Conditions Where Neuro Physiotherapy Can Be Used

Neuro Physiotherapy is deployed where patients have any neurological conditions such as:

Bell’s palsy

Traumatic brain injury such as Head Injury

Spinal cord injury

Stroke

Parkinson’s disease

Multiple sclerosis (MS)

Due to these neurological conditions, the patient may experience a lack of sensation, tremor, paralysis, or motor deficits. This happens when there is damage to the central nervous system, and there is a breakdown of the pathways that carry different nerve signals from the organs to the muscles and vice versa.

Based on the existing condition of the patient, lack of movement and functions, and the severity of the issue, appropriate neuro physiotherapy is recommended to improve the existing conditions and to enable the patient to carry on with their day-to-day activities with ease.

How Does Neuro Physiotherapy Work?

The core objective and intention of neuro physiotherapy are to rehabilitate the patients, who are suffering from the above-mentioned conditions, and make them self-reliant and independent.

For example, is the patient finding it tough to walk without any support? Or are there minor inconveniences of fine movements in arms or legs that need treatment?

Based on the condition of the patient, appropriate neuro physiotherapy is recommended, and this can improve the patient’s condition.

Now, the question is how does neuro physiotherapy work?

And the answer is neuroplasticity, which is a phenomenon wherein the brain is able to form new connections (lose them), based on the signals it receives.

Unlike traditional physiotherapy that focuses extensively on body movements and body functions, neuro physiotherapy uses the phenomenon of neuroplasticity to help the brain form new synaptic connections.

In layman's terms, the brain of the patient is rewired to enable them to learn new skills and functions such as walking.

Types Of Neuro Physiotherapy

In severe cases, neuro physiotherapy can be used to help the patient relearn walking, sitting, or standing.

In less severe cases, it can also be used to improve the body posture, which prevents any injuries or pain.

Besides building strength and coordination, neuro physiotherapists can suggest limb positioning or splints to accelerate joint recovery

Mobility aids such as walking frames and motorized wheelchairs can be also deployed as part of neuro physiotherapy to improve motor functions.
