Paralysis occurs when there is a loss of muscle function in a part of the body. This can result from damage to the nervous system, often due to stroke, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis. Paralysis can be partial or complete and may affect either one side or both sides of the body. Immediate treatment and ongoing rehabilitation are crucial for improving quality of life and promoting independence.
Physiotherapy plays a vital role in the recovery process for paralysis patients. Through a combination of movement exercises, muscle strengthening, and specialized therapies, physiotherapy helps restore physical function, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being.
Physiotherapy is essential in helping individuals regain as much movement and function as possible after paralysis. It focuses on exercises that improve strength, flexibility, and coordination, while also addressing secondary issues like pain and spasticity. With personalized treatment plans, physiotherapists can help patients regain control over their body and enhance their independence.

Here are some common questions we receive about Paralysis and our physiotherapy treatments:
Paralysis can result from various conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, and neurological diseases like multiple sclerosis. Damage to the nervous system disrupts communication between the brain and muscles, leading to loss of movement.
Physiotherapy helps by improving mobility, restoring muscle function, and reducing pain. Through personalized exercises and treatments, it aims to increase independence and quality of life for paralysis patients.
The recovery time depends on the severity of the paralysis and the individual’s response to treatment. Physiotherapy can provide gradual improvements over time, enhancing physical function and independence.
During physiotherapy, you will work with a therapist to develop a customized plan focused on restoring movement and function. The sessions may include exercises, mobility training, and techniques to manage pain and spasticity.
