Neurological conditions are essentially any problem that occurs in the brain, spinal cord, or nerves. People generally experience difficulties with mobility, muscle strength, muscle tone, joint movement, tremors, coordination and core balance.
A neurological physio assists people to reach their physical potential enhancing their independence, confidence and overall physical ability as they face everyday challenges. Symptoms and presentations vary greatly depending on where in the nervous system the injury has occurred which is why specialised assessments are crucial in determining what treatment, rehabilitation and education is required keeping the individual therapy goals front and centre.
