About Neurological Physiotherapy in Penang

Neurological physiotherapy helps patients recover movement and function after conditions affecting the brain and nervous system. This includes stroke recovery, Parkinsons disease management, and rehabilitation after brain or spinal cord injuries.

Home visits are particularly valuable for neurological patients in Penang, as many have mobility limitations that make clinic travel difficult. A physiotherapist comes to your home to work on balance, walking, coordination and daily functional tasks.
