We provide a comprehensive neurological physiotherapy service.
Our neurological physiotherapy team treat a wide range of conditions.
Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that leads to disorders of movement causing difficulty with functions such as walking, talking, and writing.
Parkinson’s occurs as result of a loss of nerve cells in the part of the brain known as the substantia nigra. These cells are responsible for producing a chemical known as dopamine, which allows messages to be sent to the parts of the brain that co-ordinate movement.
Following detailed assessment, we will provide an individualised programme. Therapy includes specifically designed treatments and exercises that do not only work the muscles and joints but aim to make neurological changes that can help slow down the rate of the disease progression.
