What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?

- Walking safely and confidently
- Standing up and sitting down independently
- Climbing stairs and improving transfers
- Improving balance and coordination
- Managing everyday household and personal activities
- Returning to work, hobbies, or recreation whenever possible
