Motor Neuron Disease (MND) is a rare, progressive condition that causes the degeneration and death of motor neuron cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness and loss of function. The condition can impact various bodily functions, including mobility, respiratory function, posture, and swallowing.
At SPEAR, our team of experienced neurological physiotherapists specializes in providing targeted, positive and compassionate care to individuals with MND. We focus on improving muscle strength, range of motion, and postural alignment, which can help manage symptoms such as mobility issues, respiratory difficulties, fatigue, and pain. Our goal is to maximize a patient’s independence, comfort, and quality of life throughout the progression of the disease.
In addition to direct care, we also offer education and training for family members and carers on manual handling, positioning, and soft tissue techniques to provide ongoing support. We make personalized recommendations for equipment and aids to assist with daily activities.
If you or a loved one is living with MND, our neurological physiotherapists are here to help. Contact us today to learn more about our tailored treatment plans.
