Neurological Rehabilitation
Neuro Rehab focuses on helping people who have disorders or damage to their nervous system. This type of physiotherapy includes assessment to identify deficits caused as a result of neurological problems and treatment aimed at regaining function. Some common interventions included in Neuro Rehab are:

- Improving posture and stabilizing the core
- Decreasing spasticity and muscle tone
- Teaching safe transfer skills
- Educating the use of mobility and gait aids (walkers, crutches, etc.)

- Brain tumors
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis(ALS)
- Multiple Sclerosis(MS)
