What is neurological physiotherapy?

Neurological disorders such as stroke, multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease affect the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Neurological physiotherapy aims to rehabilitate people with neurological conditions and improve their ability to undertake daily activities, improving their quality of life.
