Neuromuscular Therapist Courses

Neuromuscular Therapists are qualified Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists who work with clients with physical impairments due to neurological conditions such as stroke, Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, and Muscular Dystrophy. They design physical exercises, orthotics, and home modifications to help their clients increase their range of motion and live more active and fulfilling lives.

As a Neuromuscular Therapist you could be designing exercises to help a stroke patient regain their sense of balance, assessing a patient with motor neurone disease, helping a patient with MS regain muscle control, educating caregivers on how to carry out exercises and treatment therapies at home, evaluating neurological tests on a stroke patient, or collaborating with other health professionals to ensure the best outcome for the patient.
