How does neurological physiotherapy support functional capacity?
It helps to strengthen those functions that have been weakened by illness or disability. Exercise can improve balance, muscle strength, mobility and independence in everyday life.

When should I seek neurological rehabilitation?
Rehabilitation should start immediately after diagnosis or if there are changes in your ability to function. The earlier you start, the more you can contribute to maintaining functional capacity.

Initial mapping and discussion
The intake starts with a comprehensive initial assessment, where we go through the client’s symptoms, health history and possible functional capacity challenges. We will also discuss work, leisure and everyday stress factors to get a full picture of your situation. The aim is to understand the background to your symptoms and find the right approach to treatment for you.
Examining the symptoms
After the discussion, we will examine the symptoms in more detail using physiotherapeutic methods. For example, we assess muscle strength, mobility, body control and possible areas of pain. If necessary, we will carry out more detailed functional tests. The examination provides the basis for building an individual treatment and exercise programme.


Treatment and rehabilitation plan
Based on the tests, we will draw up a personalised treatment and rehabilitation plan for you. The plan may include therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, ergonomic guidance and concrete ways to alleviate symptoms and improve your ability to function. All interventions are based on your goals and your life situation.
Follow-up and further guidance
Physiotherapy does not end at the first visit. We will monitor your progress and adapt your treatment as necessary. You will also receive clear follow-up instructions for self-training and support for everyday activities. The aim is to achieve lasting results and strengthen your independent well-being.
