Neurological physiotherapy Brisbane southside.

Neurological conditions are those that affect the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. These conditions can cause a variety of symptoms, including muscle weakness, spasticity, loss of coordination, and balance problems. Physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for many neurological conditions, helping to improve movement and function and reduce pain.
Here are some common neurological conditions that our team at Articulate treat regularly:
​

1. Stroke rehabilitation: Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, which can cause brain damage and a range of symptoms. Physiotherapy can help stroke survivors to regain movement and function, including walking, balance, and coordination. Treatment may include exercises to strengthen weak muscles, stretching to increase range of motion, and gait training to improve walking.
2. Multiple sclerosis (MS): MS is a chronic condition that affects the central nervous system, causing a range of symptoms that can vary from person to person. Physiotherapy can help people with MS to manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life. Treatment plans may include exercises to improve balance and coordination, stretching to reduce muscle spasticity, and cardiovascular exercises to improve fitness.
3. Parkinson's disease: Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurological condition that affects movement and coordination. Physiotherapy can help people with Parkinson's disease to maintain their mobility and independence. Treatment may include exercises to improve balance and coordination, stretching to reduce muscle rigidity, and gait training to improve walking.
4. Spinal cord injury: Spinal cord injury can cause paralysis or loss of sensation below the level of the injury. Physiotherapy can help people with spinal cord injury to improve their mobility and independence. Treatment may include exercises to strengthen remaining muscles, stretching to prevent muscle contractures, and gait training with assistive devices.

Our physiotherapists can develop a customised treatment plan tailored to each individual's needs and goals. With the help of physiotherapy, many people with neurological conditions can improve their movement and function, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life.
