Physiotherapy/Neurophysiotherapy helps people with problems that originate in the brain and nerves, even if they manifest in other regions of the body. Our specialists use exercises and movements to help the body and brain communicate better.
Physiotherapy is applied to restore and help maintain movement, and is used in neurological assessment and follow-up processes, as well as alongside consultations, psychotherapy and Neurotherapy.
Our physiotherapists help the brain to create new pathways when the old ones have been damaged. It's like teaching the brain to find new routes when the old roads are blocked. These techniques usually bring great improvements in quality of life and longevity.
At NeuroPsyque, the physiotherapy team is coordinated by specialist Anna Araújo, a professional with extensive clinical experience and specialised training in various techniques.
Global Postural Re-education (GPR) is a set of physiotherapy techniques based on the principle that all parts of the body are interconnected. Incorrect postures can lead to muscle imbalances, chronic pain and biomechanical and neurological dysfunctions that affect quality of life.
At Neuropsyque, we use these techniques in a personalised way, developing a specific treatment plan for each patient's needs.
The Pilates Method is a system of exercises designed to strengthen the body, improve posture, increase flexibility and promote balance between body and mind. At Neuropsyque, we offer both Pilates on the floor (Mat Pilates) and advanced Pilates, with specific materials and equipment.
Our approach is, in principle, personalised and geared towards each patient's problems. The exercises meet the individual needs of each patient, whether for physical conditioning and strengthening or for physiotherapeutic rehabilitation (Clinical Pilates).
Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) is a term that covers various problems related to the muscles that control chewing. At Neuropsyque, we offer specialised treatment to relieve pain and restore normal jaw function.
Our approach consists of muscle relaxation techniques and gradual readjustment of the jaw position. Each treatment plan is personalised to meet the patient's specific needs.
We have state-of-the-art equipment at our disposal, including electromagnetic therapy combined with physiotherapy sessions, neurofeedback and other technologies. Physiotherapy is integrated with NeuroPsyque's other specialities. As well as monitoring the brain and mind, we monitor the physical progress of each patient with the aim of improving their overall quality of life.
NeuroPsyque's physiotherapy sessions not only don't cause pain, they aim to eliminate it. Strengthening muscle and brain tissue prevents the worsening of all kinds of health conditions, and in many cases makes it possible to eliminate medication that causes side effects.
Yes, we have the best professionals and equipment at our disposal to give those who come to us the best hope of improvement.
Neurofeedback makes it possible:
a) Increase learning capacity, attention, memory, creativity and intuition;
b) Increasing control over behaviour and emotions;
c) Stabilising mood and better coping with traumatic experiences;
d) Improve sleep, appetite and other physiological functions;
e) Reduce anxiety, treat depression, etc.
These pillars are the basis for all improvements, including improvements in mobility.
This possibility can only be confirmed in consultation. Unless they are more uncommon and little-studied pathologies, it's very possible that they do, to a significant degree. Neurotherapy not only aims to eliminate or reduce direct symptoms, but also to completely eliminate the indirect, secondary effects associated with traditional drug treatments.
We talk about what is more complex, we talk about the magic of the brain. We help those who need us.
