Service Description

What is Neurological Physiotherapy? Damage to your central nervous system, including your brain and spinal cord, means that the messages from your brain are not reaching the affected parts of your body. This can result in loss of movement and sensation, uncoordinated movement, weak and floppy muscles, spasm and tremor. Neurological Physiotherapy is able to kick-start the message pathways that your brain is struggling to use, to make new pathways through repetitive actions and exercises. Many of our clients who undergo Neurological Physiotherapy can improve symptoms such as, difficulties with loss of balance, loss of hand and arm, or leg and foot function, walking, spasticity and pain. Our team of highly trained specialist physiotherapists are experts in the treatment of all neurological conditions including: Stroke Head Injuries Spinal Cord Injuries MS Parkinson's At the first Physiotherapy session we assess and set personal goals. Physio Sheffield &SIC recognises that everybody's goals are different. They can be anything form walking, stairs, driving to visit friends or family, returning to work or taking up sport again. Physiotherapy sessions are carried out by specialists Neurological Physios, a Therapeutic Exercise Instructor or a Physiotherapy assistant, either individually or in a group exercise class. Appointments are usually within 5-7 working days. A comprehensive assessment establishes individual needs and recommendations for the future treatment. Following the initial Consultation, we can also advise whether there is a need to seek further assessments such as occupational therapy (OT- NHS/privately) or speech therapies (NHS or Privately). If this is necessary we will write a Referral Letter to your GP (General Practitioner) Doctor (either Private or NHS) to recommend further Investigation or seeing another Specialist such as a Podiatrist (e.g If it is for insoles), an OT or speech therapist.
