Regain your movements with Neurodevelopmental Therapy
Neurodevelopmental Therapy (NDT) is recommended for children and adults with limited mobility caused by Stroke, head injuries, and other neurological challenges such as Hydrocephalus, Cerebral Palsy, Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), Developmental Delays in Motor Skills, Premature Birth, Spina Bifida, etc.
Without timely and effective NDT, an individual may be restricted to a limited set of patterns that will affect their mobility and functioning in almost any task.
At Plexus, our experienced team of physical therapists and occupational therapists treat a wide range of neuro-motor issues caused by neurological damage and work to help patients become as independent and functional as possible.
Our treatment plans are tailored for the unique needs of the patient and are designed for holistic rehabilitation. We use guided movements in repetition to restore input in the tactile, somatosensory, and vestibular receptors – thereby improving motor performance. These NDT techniques are focused on building postural support, body awareness, resting alignment, functional alignment, and resistance to undesirable movements.
Neurodevelopmental Therapy at Plexus has benefitted patients in many ways by:
Improving the quality of life through cortical function reorganization
Reducing the influence of reflexes
Improving voluntary motor controls as well as neck and trunk control
Facilitating postural and movement control against gravity
Preventing abnormal movement patterns and additional impairments
Incorporating functional movement and postures into everyday activities
What our patients say
Mark Smith
“As a parent, this has been a great experience for me, as I was able to observe huge changes in my son’s neurological development. Dr Na’eem and his team understood his condition and provided customized treatment accordingly. It helped to build his postural support as well as increase body awareness, resting alignment, and functional alignment. Thank you for helping Ben regain his independence.”
