Posted by Synapse Physio on March 11th, 2021

Neurodevelopment Therapy is a gentle treatment approach adopted by physiotherapists to improve the function in children and adults, especially those who are unable to manage movement because of neurological disorders like stroke, cerebral palsy, and head injury.

The neuro-developmental exercises help to restore the regular movement patterns and let your body attain its physical flexibility back.

It also builds you emotionally, physically, and mentally strong and improves learning abilities.

The therapy utilizes facilitated movements as part of the treatment strategy to make sure that there is coordination between the sensory receptors inside your body.

NDT was introduced to help people with brain injuries as they have a limited range of movement patterns.

During NDT treatment repetition of movements allows making a specific pattern easily attainable for motor performance.

When a patient performs a set of movements repeatedly, it becomes much easier for them to carry out those movements.

With normal treatment, the patient wouldn’t be able to develop a range of movement patterns. NDT when used at the right stage it can help patients perform different movement patterns easily.

Therapists who are trained in NDT therapy undergo advanced training that helps them evaluate and treat a range of neuro-motor issues encountered by patients and help them reduce their dependency on others.

NDT therapists work closely with the patients and their families and physicians to help them know about their condition and how they can contribute to help the patient recover. They design an individual program that helps the individual combat neurological issues.
