Neurologic conditions

Childhood developmental delay, traumatic brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease, for example, can cause debilitating weakness, poor balance and reduced mobility that can interfere with daily activities. The reduced mobility and decreased physical function caused by neurologic conditions can also lead to impaired heart and lung function capacity, fatigue, falls and, in some cases, social isolation.

A physiotherapist treatment plan will involve therapeutic exercises to improve your balance, coordination and strength, flexibility, cardiovascular function and overall mood.
