What is Neurological Physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised branch of physical therapy focused on the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals with neurological conditions affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). These conditions can include stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and various neuropathies, among others.

The primary goal of neurological physiotherapy is to maximise functional independence and quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments. This is achieved through a holistic approach that addresses movement disorders, muscle weakness, balance disturbances, sensory deficits, and other associated challenges.

Overall, neurological physiotherapy plays a crucial role in helping individuals with neurological conditions regain independence, enhance their ability to perform activities of daily living, and improve their overall quality of life.

How can our Physiotherapists help?

At Apollo Clinics, we offer a comprehensive range of services designed to address the unique needs of individuals with neurological conditions. Our experienced neurological physiotherapists are dedicated to providing personalised care and evidence-based interventions to help our patients achieve their goals and improve their quality of life. Our services include:

  • Assessment and Evaluation: Our process begins with a thorough assessment and evaluation of each patient’s neurological impairments and functional limitations. This comprehensive evaluation helps us understand the specific challenges faced by our patients and develop customised treatment plans tailored to their individual needs.
  • Individualised Treatment Plans: We believe in a personalised approach to care, and our treatment plans are designed to address the specific goals and concerns of each patient. Whether it’s improving mobility, strength, balance, or overall function, we work closely with our patients to develop targeted interventions that are effective and achievable.
  • Neuromuscular Re-education: Neurological conditions can often lead to muscle weakness, spasticity, and abnormal movement patterns. Our neuromuscular re-education programs are designed to help retrain the muscles and improve motor control, allowing for smoother and more coordinated movements.
  • Balance and Coordination Training: Maintaining balance and coordination can be challenging for individuals with neurological conditions. Our balance and coordination training programs focus on improving stability and reducing the risk of falls through targeted exercises and interventions aimed at enhancing proprioception, postural control, and vestibular function.
  • Fall Prevention Strategies: Falls are a common concern for individuals with neurological conditions, but they can often be prevented with the right strategies and interventions. Our therapists work closely with patients to identify fall risk factors and develop personalized fall prevention plans that address environmental modifications, assistive devices, and specific exercises to improve strength and balance.
  • Patient and Caregiver Education: Education is an essential component of our neurological physiotherapy programs. We provide comprehensive education and training to patients and their caregivers on topics such as condition management, exercise techniques, home safety, and strategies for maximizing function and independence.

What to expect from the first appointment?

Whether you are seen by the Osteopath or the Physiotherapist, both first appointments will follow a similar process and you will be sent a patient intake form via email beforehand to help provide as much context as possible.

  • Case History: Your practitioner will ask you a variety of questions about your complaint. They will ask you about your current problem as well as any history for the presenting issue. They will also go through your medical history to determine if the cause of your pain may not be musculoskeletal.
  • Assessment: Once the practitioner has all the required information, they will perform a direct and focused assessment to diagnose your current issue. This will include observation of your standing/seated posture and range of movement, palpation which is the process of gently applying pressure around muscles and joints, orthopaedic tests and special tests where required such as blood pressure or respiratory examinations.
  • Treatment: Your treatment will depend upon your individual assessment however may include soft and deep tissue massage techniques, stretching and METs, taping, and spinal or joint manipulations

Exercise Prescription Software

Our focus will always be on retraining your body and looking at preventative measures to avoid reoccurrence of injuries. You will be provided with access to our digital exercise prescription software with full instructions on the range of exercise prescribed, as well as the ability to provide feedback for your practitioner as these are completed

This may involve specialised techniques and interventions aimed at improving movement, strength, balance, and coordination in individuals with neurological impairments. Our therapists have advanced training and expertise in neurological rehabilitation to provide targeted care for this patient population.

The duration of your treatment plan will depend on several factors, including the severity of your condition, your specific goals for rehabilitation, and your response to treatment. Our therapists will work with you to establish realistic expectations and milestones for your rehabilitation journey. We will regularly reassess your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.

Can neurological physiotherapy help with pain management?

The frequency of your physiotherapy sessions will depend on various factors, including the severity of your condition, your specific treatment goals, and your availability. In general, we recommend attending physiotherapy sessions regularly to maximize the benefits of treatment. Initially, sessions may be scheduled more frequently to address acute needs or establish a baseline level of function. As you progress in your rehabilitation journey, sessions may be spaced further apart. Our therapists will work with you to develop a treatment schedule that fits your individual needs and preferences.

Will I need a referral from my doctor to receive neurological physiotherapy?

An initial consultation will be 45 minutes in total, which typically will include 15 minutes for consultation followed by 30 minutes for treatment and advice. The price for a first appointment is currently £60. A single session of follow up treatment will also be £60 however it is also possible to book a package of 6 sessions together which works out as £50 per session.
