When should I see a neurological physiotherapist

A neurological condition is with you for life and it is important that you take steps to manage your condition.
 
A Neurological physiotherapist is well placed to help set you up to maintain and improve your quality of life. Often we see a physio when we have had an injury or we are struggling with our condition. We advocate that you take a more proactive approach to therapy and check in regularly to a neurological physiotherapist to ensure that you are on the right path and addressing any concerns before they start to impact your quality of life.
 
You should be booking a review with your therapist at least every 6 months, you may find that it is easier to stay accountable, motivated and ahead of major changes before they happen.
 
It is also highly beneficial to participate in an intensive program periodically, for example;
 

• If you have been newly diagnosed  
• If you want to make significant change and improvement
• If you want the increased power of self-management
• If there has been a change in your symptoms
• If you have had a change of medication
• If your goals have changed
• If you have slipped backwards due to unforeseen life event – which happen…that’s life 

​We recommend that if you are participating in an intensive program that you book a review for 6 weeks after completing the program to ensure you are still tracking towards your long term goals and then 3-6 monthly after that.
