Physiotherapy
The Physiotherapists at Neural Pathways base much of their treatment techniques on an in-depth knowledge of ‘normal movement’ and the complex interactions of neuromuscular systems with sensory input from the eyes, ears, balance apparatus and the joints and skin.
Abnormal movement phenomena such as high tone, ataxia, tremors are understood and the aim is to reduce these influences and use methods such as skilled handling, positioning and guided movement to achieve integration of movement often at an automatic level.
An underlying philosophy of maintaining muscle length and joint range as well as monitoring effort, fatigue and respiratory function is built into individual programmes.
We use a range of techniques and approaches including the Bobath concept.
All of our therapists are registered with the Health Professions Council (HPC) and Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) checked, in addition they undertake many hours of continuing professional development each year, much of which is supported by Neural Pathways.
