What is 'Neurological Physiotherapy'?
Neurological physiotherapy is the treatment of patients with a disorder affecting the brain or spinal cord. Commonly treated conditions include Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease, Head Injury and Spinal Cord Injury.
Therapy offered by ON Physio is specific to each individual. At your assessment we will discuss what has happened, what physical difficulties you are experiencing and what you aim to get from physiotherapy.
