Physical Therapy for Spinal Cord Injury
Physical Therapy for Spinal Cord Injuries
Individualized Approach
Every spinal cord injury (SCI) is different depending on the level of injury and severity, requiring an individualized approach to therapy. Mobile Physio understands that each person’s needs and goals are different, so we tailor our treatment plans to address your specific needs and help you achieve the best possible outcomes.
Comprehensive Workouts and Repetitions
Getting a workout in and maintaining regular repetitions is crucial for recovery and improving function after an SCI. Our physical therapy sessions focus on targeted movements and exercises designed to strengthen your muscles, improve your endurance, and enhance your overall physical fitness. Additionally, we provide an encouraging and supportive environment to ensure you stay motivated and on track with your rehabilitation goals.
Mobility Solutions
Finding the right mobility solutions is essential for individuals with SCI. We assist in connecting you with mobility professionals who can provide the necessary equipment, such as wheelchairs and orthotics, to enhance your independence and quality of life. Our team will guide you through the process of selecting and fitting these aids to ensure they meet your specific needs.
Utilizing NMES for Weakness and Spasticity
Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation (NMES) is an effective tool for managing significant muscle weakness and spasticity in individuals with SCI. NMES helps stimulate muscle contractions, improve strength, and reduce spasticity, contributing to better muscle control and function. This technique can be a valuable addition to your therapy regimen, enhancing your overall rehabilitation progress.
Enhancing Balance and Coordination
Balance and coordination are often affected by spinal cord injuries, making daily activities challenging. We incorporate balance training exercises into your rehabilitation program to help improve stability and prevent falls. By focusing on these areas, we aim to enhance your confidence and ability to perform everyday tasks safely.
