Neurological Physiotherapy?

Helping You Regain Movement, Balance & Independence Through Personalized Neurological Rehabilitation.

What is Neurological Physiotherapy?

Neurological Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that helps individuals regain movement, coordination, balance, and functional independence after a neurological condition or injury affects the brain, spinal cord, or nerves.

At Motion Focus & Sports Clinic, our experienced physiotherapists create personalized rehabilitation programs designed to improve mobility, reduce muscle stiffness, strengthen weakened muscles, and help patients safely return to everyday activities.

Whether you’ve experienced a stroke, are living with Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), or are recovering from a spinal cord injury, neurological physiotherapy focuses on retraining the nervous system through evidence-based exercises and movement therapies.
Our goal is simple:
  • Help you move better, feel stronger, and regain confidence in your daily life.

Every treatment plan is tailored to your condition, current abilities, lifestyle, and long-term recovery goals.

Why Choose Neurological Physiotherapy?

Neurological disorders often affect far more than muscle strength. They can impact walking, posture, coordination, balance, speech-related muscles, sensation, and overall confidence.

Our neurological rehabilitation programs are designed to maximize the brain’s ability to adapt—a process known as neuroplasticity.

At Motion Focus & Sports Clinic, treatment may include:

  • Balance and coordination training
  • Gait (walking) retraining
  • Functional movement practice
  • Strength and endurance exercises
  • Flexibility and mobility training
  • Postural correction
  • Fall prevention strategies
  • Vestibular rehabilitation (when appropriate)
  • Home exercise programs
  • Caregiver education
Whether your goal is walking independently, climbing stairs, improving balance, or simply making everyday activities easier, we’re here to support your recovery every step of the way.

What Your Neighbours Think About Us!

So so happy!! I suffered with a leg injury for 6 months hoping it would get better on its own, but of course it didn’t. I wish I’d come to physio here sooner!! Now, just a few weeks after my first visit, I did a full hike up a mountain which I never could have done even 6 weeks ago. Thank you Dr Igbiki!!

When I first got injured, the most painful thing I could’ve done was putting my socks on and walking. I remembered my first visit to this clinic, I was in so much pain I cried. After I got done with first session I was able to walk out on my own. I highly highly recommend this clinic.
