At Manchester Physio our specialised neurological physiotherapists commonly treat children and adults that have problems with the brain, spinal cord or peripheral nerves. People with neurological conditions may have difficulties with their physical functions including mobility, muscle strength, range of movement and balance.
Neurological Physiotherapy aims to increase the quality of life of people with neurological conditions through physical means. At Manchester Physio neurological rehabilitation will maximise your potential with activities of daily living, slow down physical deterioration and help children with disabilities achieve developmental milestones.
Our neurological physiotherapists combine a number of treatment techniques to provide the most beneficial care. These include the Bobath Concept (normal movement), the Carr and Shepherd Concept (motor relearning), the Brunnstrom Approach (synergistic movement) Conductive Education and functional rehabilitation.

- Activities based around daily tasks to help improve bed mobility, walking, climbing the stairs, shopping and gardening
- Restoring normal movement patterns
- Exercises to increase muscle strength and flexibility
- Balance training
- Stretching to lengthen tight muscles to help decrease spasticity and reduce contractures
- Correcting and varying posture and body awareness education when sitting, sleeping and lifting or with exercise.
At Manchester Physio our physiotherapists also work in conjunction with podiatrists and occupational therapist who can provide additional treatment and equipment if necessary.
