- Stroke
- Traumatic brain injury/head injury
- Spinal cord injuries
- Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
- Parkinson's disease
- Dementia and Alzheimer's disease.
Rehabilitation/treatment for neurological conditions:
The brain is a wonderful thing, and it is able to lose/gain new connections, which is called neuroplasticity. To simply put, it rewires the brain to learn or relearn new tasks and functional activities.
Neuroplasticity is not just passive stretches and massage, but mainly active participation of the patient/client in doing tailored exercises or tasks that focuses on building his strength and coordination. In some cases, we may need to use/add splints, braces, walking aids or wheelchairs either temporarily or permanently to move towards independence. This is not to make the individual dependent, but to ensure more independence through the use of right aids and adaptations.
At Rehab Right, we always emphasise that the success in Neurorehab is not just at the clinic!
It involves the willingness of the patient/client to put in the work, the carers/family to engage in the process and creating the right environment both physically and mentally both at the clinic and at home!
