What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?

Also known as neuro physio, this form of treatment is designed for people living with conditions that affect how the body moves and functions due to damage or dysfunction in the nervous system. Individuals may face a wide range of physical limitations including:

The primary aim is to enhance functional ability and increase confidence with daily tasks, helping individuals return to the activities they value most.
