Overview

Neuroscience Physiotherapy, also known as Neurological Physiotherapy, is a specialized field focused on the assessment and rehabilitation of individuals with disorders affecting the nervous system. At KIMS School of Physiotherapy, our neuroscience physiotherapy program is dedicated to helping students develop the knowledge and clinical skills needed to support patients with neurological conditions and improve their functional independence and quality of life.

This area of physiotherapy deals with a range of conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, cerebral palsy, and neuropathies. Treatment is centered on neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and adapt—using targeted interventions to restore movement, balance, coordination, and strength.

Program Components

Students and professionals in this field are trained in:

  • Comprehensive neurological assessment and diagnosis.
  • Gait training, balance exercises, and motor control rehabilitation.
  • Postural management and functional re-education.
  • Cognitive and sensory-motor integration therapies.
  • Use of technology such as functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic-assisted therapy.

Students are trained in both theoretical foundations and hands-on practice through clinical placements in PBMH hospital. The goal is to prepare graduates to deliver compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers patients with neurological conditions to live more independent and fulfilling lives.
