Transverse Myelitis

This is a rare neurological disorder affecting the nervous system. Nerve damage is the result of an inflammatory process which causes problems with conduction of

messages through the nerve and can occur at different levels in the spinal cord and as a result, affects different parts of the body.

• SPEAR physiotherapists use an approach based on the Bobath concept and individually assess each person. This is important as everyone presents differently.
• People will compensate in different ways in order to function on a day-to-day basis. The key is to unravel which compensatory movements are necessary and which are unnecessary and masking the underlying movement potential.

Our goal is to help individuals uncover and realize their movement potential, often achieving abilities they may not have believed possible.
