Neurological physiotherapy – who is it for?
Neurological physiotherapy is suitable for anyone who wants to find ways to live their own life with – and despite – any neurological diseases, injuries or developmental delays or disabilities.
Neurological physiotherapy may be useful for these neurological diseases:
- cerebrovascular disorder
- brain and spinal cord injury, for example, as a result of an accident
- Multiple sclerosis
- Cerebral palsy
- Parkinson's disease
- muscle diseases
- Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
- various rare neurological diseases
Neurological rehabilitation is about finding solutions
Neurological rehabilitation helps with small and large challenges – whatever is important to you.
Perhaps your goal is to be able to move outside on your own, play with your child or find a way to wash yourself without assistance. Or maybe you are looking for ways to do housework or write by hand.
Here’s how our physiotherapists work with you to solve everyday challenges:
- Physiotherapeutic training. We can alleviate symptoms caused by muscle weakness or excessive stiffness, for example, through hand function training, balance training or walking training at an appointment or in a therapy pool. Many of our clinics have an accessible gym and modern equipment. Learn more about our facilities and equipment on the pages of our locations.
- Manual and physical therapy. We apply a variety of physical means and manual methods to support you in reaching your goals, including pain relief, reducing swelling, increasing movement restrictions and stimulating muscle function.
- Solutions and aids. As the goal is to help you cope with daily activities, we provide rehabilitation where you spend your time: at home, at work, in kindergarten or in school. We look for concrete ways, alternative movements and aids to help you cope with the things that matter to you.
- Advice and counselling. We also work closely with your loved ones. We always consider your and your family's life situation and resources as the basis.
- Motivation. In neurological physiotherapy, the motivation of the person undergoing rehabilitation is important. We will gently help you move forward and work with you to find motivation even when the training feels difficult, your life is in transition or you are facing other challenges.
Here is how neurological physiotherapy proceeds
In neurological physiotherapy, you are an active learner in undergoing rehabilitation and you define what you want to achieve through rehabilitation.
At your first appointment, you will be able to tell the therapist about yourself and your wishes, strengths and interests. You will outline your functional capacity, everyday needs and areas of mobility together.
The physiotherapist will prepare a treatment plan with you based on your needs and wishes, which will also include the goals of treatment, that is, the concrete things that you want to improve in your everyday life.
The physiotherapist will personally guide you in performing various exercises and seek solutions and tools with you for the challenges you face in everyday life. You can see the physiotherapist at an appointment, an accessible gym, a therapy pool, at home, at work, in school or in kindergarten, for example.
Active self-training between physiotherapist appointments is a key component of neurological physiotherapy. You will receive individual and supportive instructions from your physiotherapist. We are also happy to help you find motivation if there you have challenges with self-training.
We will monitor your progress on a regular basis and adjust the treatment plan as necessary.
