Injury or disease to your central nervous system (CNS) - which includes your brain, spinal cord, and nerves, can significantly disrupt the communication between your brain and body. The CNS acts as the control centre, sending and receiving messages that coordinate movement, sensation, and vital functions. When this system is damaged, these messages may not be delivered accurately, or at all, leading to a range of physical and functional challenges including:
Loss of movement and sensation
Uncoordinated movements
Hypotonia – weak or floppy muscles
Spasms
Tremors
These symptoms often vary depending on the location and severity of the CNS damage and can profoundly impact an individual’s independence and quality of life.
What is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological Physiotherapy is a type of rehabilitation which offers treatment of the physical problems caused by a neurological condition.
