About Neurological Physiotherapy

Neurological physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy for people living with conditions or injuries that affect the brain, spinal cord, or nerves. At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we provide physiotherapy for neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.



Our therapists complete a thorough assessment and build an individualized plan around your abilities and goals. Treatment may include in-clinic sessions, a home exercise program, and education for you and your family or caregivers.

  • How It Works

    • Assessment: We review your health history, symptoms, and goals, then assess your walking, balance, strength, coordination, and everyday movement.
    • Goal setting: Together, we set practical goals, such as walking more safely, getting around your home with less effort, or returning to a favourite activity.
    • Treatment: Your plan is built around your needs and may include individualized exercise therapy, movement retraining, balance and gait practice, and hands-on physiotherapy treatment when appropriate.
    • Progress and support: We review your progress regularly, adjust your plan as your needs change, and give you tools and education to continue at home.

  • Benefits of Neurological Physiotherapy

    Depending on your condition and goals, neurological physiotherapy can help you improve walking and mobility, work on balance, and build strength and coordination. With a plan tailored to you, everyday movement can feel easier and more confident, and you can gain greater independence with daily activities. 


    Many people also find it easier to stay active in recreational and community activities, and they learn practical strategies to manage their condition from day to day. Results vary from person to person, and your therapist will talk with you about realistic goals for your situation.

  • Who Is It For

    Neurological physiotherapy may be a good fit if you are living with stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, traumatic brain injury, or another neurological condition or injury that affects movement, balance, or coordination. It is suitable for adults at any stage, whether you are early in recovery or managing a long-term condition. If dizziness is part of the picture, we also offer vestibular physiotherapy for balance and dizziness. For children, see our pediatric physiotherapy services.

How We Treat Neurological Conditions with Physiotherapy

At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we understand how neurological conditions can affect movement, balance, strength, and everyday independence. Conditions such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury can change how you walk, move, and take part in the activities you enjoy.



Our neurological rehabilitation in Winnipeg is built around you. Your therapist works closely with you and your family or caregivers to create a personalized plan with practical goals. Below, we explain how physiotherapy can support people living with some of the most common neurological conditions.

  • Stroke

    Stroke can affect strength, balance, coordination, and walking, often on one side of the body. Our stroke rehabilitation physiotherapy focuses on helping you move more confidently and do more for yourself. 


    Treatment may include task-specific exercises, balance and walking practice, strengthening, and strategies to use the movement you have regained in daily life. Your plan is adjusted as you progress, whether you are early in recovery or years after your stroke.

  • Parkinson's Disease

    Parkinson's disease can cause stiffness, slowness of movement, tremor, and changes in balance and walking. Parkinson's physiotherapy aims to help you stay active, move well, and manage everyday tasks more easily. 


    Treatment may include exercises for strength, flexibility, and posture, balance and walking training, and strategies for turning, getting up from a chair, and moving with more confidence. Your plan can change over time as your needs change.

  • Multiple Sclerosis

    Multiple sclerosis can affect strength, balance, coordination, walking, and energy levels, and symptoms can vary from day to day. Our multiple sclerosis physiotherapy is tailored to how you are feeling and what you want to achieve. 


    Treatment may include strengthening, balance and mobility training, and guidance on pacing your activity and managing fatigue, so you can stay active and maintain your independence.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Pembina Physiotherapy & Sports Injury Clinic, we understand that you may have questions about neurological physiotherapy, especially if you or a loved one is about to start treatment. We believe in empowering our clients with knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. To help you know what to expect, we've compiled answers to common questions about neurological physiotherapy in Winnipeg, from what happens during a session to how treatment is planned. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us.

  • What can I expect during a neurological physiotherapy session?

    Your first visit begins with a thorough assessment of your health history, symptoms, and goals, along with a review of your walking, balance, strength, coordination, and everyday movement. Together, we then set practical goals and start your treatment plan. 


    Later sessions may include exercises, balance and walking practice, movement retraining, and hands-on techniques when appropriate. You will also receive a home exercise program and guidance for you and your family or caregivers to continue your progress between visits.

  • How long does each neurological physiotherapy session last?

    Session length depends on your needs, your energy levels, and your treatment plan. Your therapist will let you know what to expect when you book and will adjust the pace of each session to suit how you are feeling that day.   

  • How many neurological physiotherapy sessions will I need?

    The number of sessions varies from person to person. It depends on your condition, how long you have been living with it, your goals, and how you respond to treatment. Some people attend for a focused period of rehabilitation, while others return periodically to update their program as their needs change. After your assessment, your therapist will discuss a recommended plan and review it with you regularly.   

  • Can neurological physiotherapy help with balance and mobility?

    Yes, neurological physiotherapy for balance and mobility is a core part of our care. Depending on your condition, treatment may focus on improving walking, strength, coordination, and balance, with the goal of helping you move more safely and confidently in daily life. If dizziness is also affecting your balance, our vestibular physiotherapy for balance and dizziness may be a helpful addition. Results vary from person to person, and your therapist will talk with you about realistic goals.
