Introduction[edit | edit source]
A wide range of treatment techniques and approaches are utilised in Neurological Rehabilitation.

Positioning[edit | edit source]
Pressure[edit | edit source]
Neutral Warmth[edit | edit source]
Cryotherapy[edit | edit source]
Vibration[edit | edit source]
Massage[edit | edit source]
Massage uses pressure to direct venous and lymphatic flow back towards the heart. It is therefore important that the movement is always in this direction so that there is no undue pressure on the closed valves in the veins. These valves prevent backflow of blood by only allowing blood to move in one direction (i.e. toward the heart). As the pressure from the heart pumping subsides and the blood moves back, the valves close and prevent any further back flow.
Massage may also be used to stretch muscle fibres. In this case, the direction is not as important as the strokes are much shorter and therefore pressure in the wrong direction is not significant enough to cause damage.
Physical Activity & Exercise[edit | edit source]
Hydrotherapy[edit | edit source]
Hydrotherapy is a definition for exercise in warm water and is a popular treatment for patients with neurologic and musculoskeletal conditions [1]. The goals of this therapy are muscle relaxation, improving joint motion and reducing pain [2]. This therapy is been used for thousands of years. (Level of Evidence A1)
