Neurological Rehabilitation at Fontwell Physio

About neurological rehabilitation?

At Fontwell Physiotherapy we are able to offer a specialist neurological rehabilitation service. This service is provided by LV Rehabilitation who are specialists in this field. 

What is neurological rehabilitation?

Neurological rehabilitation manages the treatment of conditions related to the nervous system. The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Messages are relayed from the brain to other parts of the body via the nerves and spinal cord. When one of these areas is damaged, the messages are interrupted.

This may result in:
  • Loss of movement
  • Loss of sensation
  • Difficulties with co-ordination
  • Muscle weakness
  • Muscle stiffness or rigidity
  • Balance
  • Pain
  • Tremors
These are some of the physical signs of a neurological condition. However, we recognise these are life-changing events and can impact on well-being, confidence, mood and motivation. LV Rehabilitation will treat the individual holistically and aim to create a treatment plan that considers both physical and emotional well-being. We recognise that rehabilitation can take place at any point along an individual’s journey. However, the earlier a plan is implemented, the greater the opportunity for progress or improvement.

LV Rehabilitation can optimise abilities and function through task-specific, intensive and repetitive exercise.
