There are a lot of physiotherapists who specialize in this field. They use various types of techniques and exercises to help patients who have neurological impairments. This may include: 

1. Movement re-education 

Enabling patients to move, walk, and do their daily activities freely. This is done with exercises and mainly works on restoring muscle strength, coordination and balance of the body.

2. Gait training 

To teach the patients to walk safely and efficiently. PTs often suggest the use of assistive devices such as walkers or canes if necessary.

3. Balance training 

To stabilize body balance so that the risk of falls is reduced. This is often compromised in many neurological conditions. 

4. Splinting

This is done using devices to support, align, and protect affected limbs of your body. These devices can be custom-made or pre-fabricated. They serve to stabilize joints, support weak muscles, prevent contractures and assist with daily activities.

It helps to recover from stroke, cerebral palsy, and peripheral nerve injuries. Splints manage spasticity, maintain proper joint alignment, and facilitate functional use of the limbs.  

6. Tapping

Tapping is the application of adhesive tape onto the skin that provides support and stability to muscles and joints while still permitting natural movement. This technique provides support, reduces pain, improves joint alignment and facilitates neuromuscular re-education.

It is used to treat stroke and multiple sclerosis. Tapping is also used for Parkinson’s disease as it manages spasticity and improves muscle function and posture.  

7. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) 

Use of electrical currents for stimulating nerves and muscles to improve movement and function and weakness or paralysis too.

8. Manual therapy

Hands-on procedures like massage, joint mobilization, and stretching to improve muscle flexibility reduce pain and help with joint mobility  

9. Neuroplasticity enhancement techniques

These techniques enhance the brain’s capacity for self-reorganization and the formation of new neural connections. Methods include repetitive task practice, motor learning strategies and sensory stimulation.

10. Constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT)

This therapy improves motor function in the affected limb. Therefore, promoting neural plasticity, particularly in stroke rehabilitation.

11. Task-specific training 

Engaging patients in activities that mimic real-life tasks to promote functional recovery and independence.

12. Adaptive equipment and strategies 

Recommending and teaching assistive devices and adaptive techniques. This helps patients perform daily activities more independently.
