Physiotherapy
Active
exercises
All patients
are encouraged to be actively involved in their treatment, rather than
passive recipients, and this includes the use of active exercises to
help the following:
Balance
Cardiopulmonary fitness (heart and lungs)
Flexibility
Mobility
Muscle performance
Exercises
are chosen to suit the individual's unique needs and, where possible,
they can be used as Home exercises on the advice and instruction of
the physiotherapist.
Examples
of exercise used at the Neuromuscular Centre include:
Hydrotherapy
(or more accurately, aquatic physiotherapy)
Swiss or Gym Ball exercises
Assisted pedals
Specific muscle strengthening
The physiotherapists
give advice and guidance on the use of exercise, and particularly the
precautions that should be followed to prevent injury.
