Neuro Physiotherapy
Neuro physiotherapy is a type of physiotherapy that focuses on the treatment and management of conditions and disorders that affect the nervous system, such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and cerebral palsy. The goal of neuro physiotherapy is to help individuals with these conditions improve their movement, reduce symptoms, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Advantages of pediatric physiotherapy include:
Bobath technique: This is a hands-on approach that involves handling and positioning the body in specific ways to promote normal movement patterns and reduce abnormal tone.
Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF): This is a technique that uses stretching, resistance, and facilitation to improve movement, strength, and coordination.
Functional electrical stimulation (FES): This involves using electrical currents to stimulate muscles and nerves, helping individuals with nerve damage to regain movement and function.
Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT): This involves restricting the use of a person's stronger limb to encourage the use of their weaker limb, promoting improved movement and function.
Balance and coordination training: This involves exercises and activities that help individuals with nervous system disorders improve their balance, coordination, and stability.
