Neurophysical rehabilitation therapy addresses functional impairments caused by neurological disorders or injuries. Techniques like neuroplasticity training, task-specific exercises, and cognitive therapy are used to rewire the brain and restore lost functions. This therapy is crucial for patients recovering from strokes, traumatic brain injuries, or neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis. Therapists often use devices such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional electrical stimulation (FES) to enhance muscle activity and stimulate brain pathways. Neurophysical therapy's focus is on regaining independence and quality of life, gradually reintroducing motor and cognitive skills through repetitive, targeted activities that promote brain adaptation.
