Neurological Physiotherapy: Rebuilding What Was Lost
Neurological conditions affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves — causing weakness, paralysis, balance problems, and loss of independence. At VPARC in Varanasi, Dr. Prashant Punj's neurological rehabilitation programme applies the brain's neuroplasticity to restore function that patients and families often believe is gone permanently.
Neurological conditions treated at VPARC: stroke (CVA), hemiplegia, paraplegia, Parkinson's disease, Bell's palsy, Guillain-Barré syndrome, cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathy.
VPARC's Neuro Rehabilitation Approach
- Task-Oriented Training — Repetitive, meaningful movement tasks that drive neuroplastic change
- Bobath / NDT Technique — Hands-on facilitation to improve movement quality
- Gait Retraining — Walking rehabilitation from standing tolerance through independent walking
- Upper Limb Rehabilitation — Fine motor skill recovery, reaching, gripping
- Balance & Fall Prevention — Systematic balance retraining
- Electrical Stimulation — NMES for muscle re-education
- Spasticity Management — Stretching, splinting, positioning techniques
Stroke Rehabilitation in Varanasi
Early physiotherapy after stroke produces significantly better outcomes than delayed treatment. VPARC accepts stroke patients as early as the first week after the acute phase. Home visits are available for patients who cannot travel immediately.
