Neurological Conditions

Stroke is a leading cause of disability in adults.Central Physiotherapy can help relieve the effects of a stroke by working to improve balance, walking, and the use of assistive devices.

Common therapies for post-stroke rehabilitation include:

• Functional electrical stimulation
• Motor image
• Mirror Therapy
• Constraint-induced movement therapy

After a stroke, our physiotherapists in Camrose will help you recover your functional skills so that you can get back to life as normally as possible.

ALS is a neurodegenerative condition that worsens over time. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) usually starts in the hands, legs, and extremities before progressing to the central nervous system.

People who develop ALS usually have trouble walking at first because they may tip over or lose their balance. Muscle cramps and weakness in the hands and legs are also common.

As ALS progresses across the body, it can affect how a person uses their extremities, speaks, swallows, and even breathes. Unfortunately, there is no cure for ALS at the moment. Our recovery team’s task, on the other hand, is to assist in maintaining function and freedom for as long as possible.

Central Physiotherapy also focuses on the prevention of secondary complications (such as injuries associated with falling) by providing protection and adaptation information while using assistive devices.

Our physiotherapists may prescribe the use of supportive equipment, such as canes, walkers, wheelchairs, braces, and other aids, as the disease progresses.

Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells in the brain.

Extreme tremors, slurred speech, and rare, uncontrollable facial expressions are common Parkinson’s disease symptoms.

Physical exercise, luckily, will help to slow the development of Parkinson’s disease and relieve symptoms.

It also increases endurance and strength by treating several problems caused by Parkinson’s disease, such as erratic gait, freezing, and dystonia.

Multiple sclerosis is a neurological disorder that affects the brain and the spinal cord. Typical signs of multiple sclerosis are pressure, fatigue, and exhaustion.

If it progresses, this disease may be crippling. Fortunately, physiotherapy will help treat and reduce these effects if you are struggling with this illness.

In addition to being given advice on how to use assistive devices properly, you can work with our  Physiotherapists on activities to help with balance and movement.

With targeted exercises, our physiotherapist will provide you with personalized stretches to relieve muscle spasms and increase strength and range of motion. Our goal for patients with multiple sclerosis is to be able to move as easily as possible.
