North Notts Physiotherapy provides a highly specialist Neurological physiotherapy service. I have the required skills and expertise to treat a wide range of neurological conditions. At North Notts Physiotherapy i provide treatment for people with sensory, motor and functional problems originating from conditions that affect the body’s nervous system. Neurological conditions can cause a wide range of debilitating problems which often affect normal movements and simple everyday tasks. The symptoms arising from neurological conditions are often life changing and severely affect a persons quality of life.
Neurological conditions can cause temporary or permanent disruption of the body’s central nervous system including the brain and spinal cord. This disruption means the messages from the brain are unable to reach the affected parts of the body causing issues with movement and sensation. Physiotherapy can help to stimulate the nervous system in a specific way to help rewire the nerve pathways allowing the messages from the brain to be better received.
