What is Neuro Rehab?

Did you know Kerry Read Physiotherapy offers Neuro Rehab in West Berkshire?

If you or someone you know has been diagnosed with a neurological condition, you may have heard the term "neuro rehab". But what does it actually mean, and how can it help?

Neuro rehab (short for neurological rehabilitation) is a specialist type of therapy designed to help people recover, adapt, and live well after damage or changes to the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. This might be after an event such as a stroke, brain injury, or spinal cord injury. Or due to a long term illness such as Parkinson's multiple sclerosis or motor neurone disease.

The Goal of Neuro Rehab

The goal of neuro rehab isn't just to treat symptoms it's to help you regain as much independence, function and confidence as possible. That can mean:

• Improving movement and mobility

• Building strength and balance

• Reducing risk of falls

• Managing fatigue or muscle stiffness

• Finding new ways to do everyday activities

• Supporting mental wellbeing alongside physical recovery

How It Works

Your nervous system is amazing. Thanks to a process called neuroplasticity, it can adapt and rewire itself to form new pathways. Neuro rehab uses this ability to help you move and function better through targeted, repetitive, and meaningful exercises.

Treatment might include:

• Specialist physiotherapy- to improve movement, posture and muscle control

• Balance and coordination training- to reduce falls risk

• Strength and conditioning- to help you stay active and resilient

• Task-specific practice- repeating activities that are important to you

• Education and strategies- so you can manage your condition day-to-day.
