Neuro Rehabilitation

A Neuro Rehabilitation Physiotherapist specializes in treating individuals with neurological conditions that affect movement and function. These conditions can include stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy. They help patients regain lost skills, improve mobility, and enhance their overall quality of life through targeted exercises, functional training, and other therapeutic techniques.
