Our approach

How we work in this area

Neurological physiotherapy works with people whose nervous system has been affected by an injury or a disease. The goal isn't just isolated movement, it's function: sitting, rolling over in bed, standing, walking, reaching for an object, playing.

The nervous system can reorganize itself, and that happens by repeating tasks that are truly meaningful to the person. That's why the plan is built around what each patient needs and wants to do, not around a generic list of exercises.

With children, much of the work happens through play, with the family involved, because children learn movement in the context they live in.

What we treat

Common reasons people come to us

  • Stroke

    Recovering strength, balance and walking after a stroke, both in the early phase and years later.

  • Parkinson's disease

    Work on range of motion, walking, balance and fall prevention.

  • Cerebral palsy

    Pediatric care focused on posture, trunk control, mobility and taking part in age-appropriate activities.

  • Developmental delay

    Stimulation for babies and children who are slow to sit, crawl or walk.

  • Spinal cord injury

    Training in transfers, strength and independence in everyday activities.

  • Multiple sclerosis and neuropathies

    Managing fatigue, balance and strength, adjusted to the phases of the disease.

Step by step

How treatment works

  1. Initial assessment

    The first session is a conversation and an exam. We get to know your complaint, your history, any imaging tests you have and what you need to get back to doing in your daily life.

  2. Treatment plan

    Based on the assessment, we put together a plan with clear goals, setting how often you'll come in and what you'll also do at home.

  3. Supervised sessions

    Every session takes place with a physiotherapist present, correcting your technique and adjusting the load according to how you respond to treatment.

  4. Reassessment

    Every so often we measure pain, strength and movement again to see whether the plan is working or needs to change.

Frequently asked questions

Questions we often hear

  • Does it make sense to start rehabilitation years after a stroke?

    It does. Functional gains are possible long after the acute phase, especially in balance, walking and independence in daily tasks. The pace is different, but the progress is real.

  • From what age do you see children?

    From infancy. In cases of developmental delay, the earlier stimulation begins, the better the response tends to be.

  • How often are the sessions?

    Neurological cases usually call for more than one session a week, because repetition is part of the treatment. The exact frequency is set during the initial assessment.
