Physiotherapy for Neurological Conditions

What is Neurological Conditions?

Neurological conditions affect the brain, spinal cord or nerves. Examples include stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis and other neurological disorders.

What problems can people face?

Depending on the condition, a person may experience weakness, poor balance, difficulty walking, reduced coordination, changes in muscle tone, fatigue, transfer difficulties or falls.

What can happen when it is not addressed?

Changes in movement can affect independence. Reduced activity may also contribute to weakness, stiffness and reduced physical capacity.

How ACP can help

ACP focuses on practical movement and function, including strength, balance, walking, transfers, mobility strategies, exercise, functional activities and mobility equipment.

When should physiotherapy be considered?

Consider physiotherapy when walking, balance, transfers or physical independence are changing.
