Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

Neuromuscular Rehabilitation at Ability Physiotherapy

At our South East Calgary, AB and North East Calgary, AB clinic, we offer neuromuscular rehabilitation, a specialized therapy designed to restore movement, balance, coordination, and overall function after a neurological impairment like Stroke, Brain Injury, Multiple Sclerosis etc.

What Is Neuromuscular Rehabilitation?

Our brains have the capacity to relearn and rewire after any injury of the nervous system. This in technical terms is called neuroplasticity. Physiotherapist trained in neuro-rehabilitation are skilled with specialised techniques that will help you relearn the lost movement using the principle of neuroplasticity. Neuro rehabilitation is tailored to an individual’s specific needs which could range from improving your ability to stand and transfer from one surface to another to improving your walking speed or be able to walk on uneven ground.

How Does It Differ from Musculoskeletal Rehabilitation?

Most people are familiar with musculoskeletal rehabilitation, which addresses injuries and disorders affecting muscles, joints, and bones. Neuromuscular rehab goes a step further by targeting the nervous system responsible for controlling those muscles and joints. Disorders of nervous system are more complex than musculoskeletal rehabilitation with additional challenges like affected speech and cognition, increased tone, poor balance and co-ordination and often times combination of more than one of the above challenges along with reduced strength and flexibility. Hence, neuromuscular rehab is an ideal choice for individuals facing neurological conditions that impact coordination, mobility, and strength.

Conditions That Benefit from Neuromuscular Rehabilitation

Stroke Recovery

  • Focuses on restoring movement, coordination, and daily function after a stroke

Parkinson’s Disease

  • A progressive neurological condition that affects movement, balance, and coordination due to a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain

Brain Injury

  • Occurs when the brain is damaged by trauma, illness, or lack of oxygen, often resulting in cognitive, physical, or emotional challenges.

Multiple Sclerosis

  • An autoimmune condition where the body attacks the protective covering of nerves, causing symptoms like muscle weakness, coordination issues, and fatigue.
