Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy in neuro rehabilitation focuses on helping individuals recover from neurological conditions, such as stroke, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, as well as manage the effects of living with neurodegenerative diseases. Main goals include improving mobility, strength, balance, and coordination.
Key components of physiotherapy in this context include:
-
Assessment
Comprehensive evaluation of the patient’s physical abilities, movement patterns, and functional limitations.
-
Personalised Treatment Plans
Development of tailored exercise programs that address specific deficits and enhance overall physical function.
-
Neuromuscular Re-education
Techniques to retrain the nervous system and improve motor control, often through repetitive practice of movements.
-
Balance and Coordination Training
Exercises aimed at improving stability and reducing the risk of falls.
-
Functional Training
Activities that simulate daily tasks to enhance independence in personal care, mobility, and community involvement.
-
Pain Management
Techniques such as manual therapy, modalities (like electrical stimulation), and education on posture and body mechanics.
-
Education and Support
Guidance for patients and families on managing symptoms, preventing complications, and promoting overall health.
Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in maximising recovery and improving the quality of life for individuals with neurological impairments.
Germany is widely viewed as world-leading in the field of physiotherapy, owing to innovative techniques, technology, and evidence-based practise. Jennifer draws on her clinical practise in Germany with Stroke Patients and Brain injury cases - these experiences have taught that clients benefit from routine and quiet places to be treated and to work in.
Any distraction leads to quick fatigue signs; patients often struggle to continue therapy after a short time of focussing.
Transportation and different rooms or location may already be stressful and often overwhelming.
Rehabilitation at home is the perfect choice especially for those living with the effects of brain damage
