Neurological physiotherapy helps people whose brain, spinal cord or nerves are affected, such as after a stroke, in Parkinson's disease, nerve injury or paralysis. Weakness, stiffness, poor balance and difficulty using the hands can make everyday tasks hard, from buttoning a shirt to walking to the bathroom.

A physiotherapist in Mumbai at Apex also considers the senses that keep us steady. Balance depends on the inner ear, the eyes and the sense of position in the feet and joints. Inner-ear problems can cause dizziness, and visual changes after a stroke or head injury can affect how a person judges steps, doorways and distance. Exercises are adapted to these difficulties and practised in safe settings, often with a therapist nearby.

Recovery after a neurological injury is usually gradual, and repeated, focused practice is what retrains the brain and nerves. Families are included in the programme. They learn how to help the patient move, how to position a weak arm or leg, and how to make the home safer. Goals are set in small steps, so progress is easy to see.

Neurological services at Apex include:

• Stroke Rehabilitation: Early movement, strengthening and task practice that help patients sit, stand, walk and use the affected arm after a stroke, with exercises that are advanced as strength, balance and confidence improve.
• Paralysis and Neuro Rehabilitation: Structured therapy for weakness and loss of movement, including care of stiff or painful limbs, with clear guidance for family members on handling, positioning and exercises to continue at home.
• Balance and Dizziness Training: Exercises that train steadiness for people with imbalance, including those whose dizziness comes from inner-ear or brain conditions, practised on firm and soft surfaces, with eye and head movements added gradually.
• Hand and Walking Retraining: Repeated practice of reaching, gripping and walking, with walking aids where needed, to help patients feed themselves, dress, move around the house and regain confidence in daily routines.
