Understanding Neurological Conditions

Welcome to Peak Physiotherapy and Wellness, where we specialize in providing expert physiotherapy care for individuals living with neurological conditions and injuries. Our dedicated team of physiotherapists is committed to helping you overcome challenges, improve mobility, and achieve your highest level of function and independence. Below are some examples of the diverse neurological conditions and injuries that we treat:

  • Stroke: Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in stroke rehabilitation, helping individuals regain movement, strength, balance, and coordination affected by stroke-related impairments. Treatment may include exercises to improve motor control, gait training, task-specific activities, and interventions to address spasticity or muscle weakness.

  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Following a traumatic brain injury, physiotherapy aims to optimize recovery, restore mobility, and enhance functional independence. Treatment may involve neurorehabilitation techniques, balance training, vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness or vertigo, and cognitive-motor integration exercises to improve coordination and attention.

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS): Physiotherapy plays a key role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life for individuals with multiple sclerosis. Treatment may include exercises to address weakness, fatigue management strategies, balance training, gait re-education, and energy conservation techniques to optimize participation in daily activities.

  • Parkinson's Disease: Physiotherapy can help individuals with Parkinson's disease maintain mobility, manage symptoms, and improve functional abilities. Treatment may include exercises to enhance flexibility and strength, balance training to reduce fall risk, gait retraining, and strategies to address freezing of gait or bradykinesia.

  • Peripheral Neuropathy: Physiotherapy can provide relief and improve function for individuals with peripheral neuropathy, addressing symptoms such as pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness in the extremities. Treatment may involve sensory re-education, balance exercises, gait training, and modalities such as electrical stimulation or ultrasound for pain management.

  • Cerebral Palsy (CP): Physiotherapy is essential for optimizing mobility, motor function, and independence in individuals with cerebral palsy. Treatment may include early intervention for infants to promote developmental milestones, stretching and strengthening exercises, gait training, orthotic management, and adaptive equipment prescription.

At Peak Physiotherapy and Wellness, we understand the unique challenges posed by neurological conditions and injuries. Our skilled physiotherapists are dedicated to providing personalized, evidence-based care to help you achieve your rehabilitation goals and improve your overall well-being.
