If you have been diagnosed with functional neurological disorder then Neurological Physiotherapy is important to help you to facilitate automatic movement patterns. Our physiotherapists understand how vulnerable the nervous system can be and that this vulnerability sometimes creates very abnormal movement patterns. We use a variety of treatment ideas and therapy plans that are designed to meet your individual needs.
· Postural re-education and movement re-education
· Functional electrical stimulation
· Functional movement training – looking at where your vulnerabilities are and adapting functional training to allow you more freedom of movement
· Gait and balance training using the Tyromotion devices – TYMO and PABLO where balance boards and sensors are used to re-train movement in a fun engaging way.
· Aquatic Therapy / Hydrotherapy
· AlterG anti-gravity treadmill training
Friedreich’s ataxia causes nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time.
