How Intensive Rehabilitation Can Support Those Living With A Neurological Condition

Last Updated on 02/01/2024 by Crip Life

Intensive rehabilitation refers to several services that are designed to support those living with a neurological condition or those dealing with polytrauma due to an accident. Whether it be a condition that a person has had since birth, developed later in life or the result of a neurological injury, VIM Health provides trained specialists along with state-of-the-art equipment to support a large group of people.

Whether it be the results of a spinal cord injury or conditions like cerebral palsy, intensive rehabilitation can aid and support those who want to regain mobility and other functions. In neurological therapy centres worldwide, multi-disciplinary teams support people by improving connections between the brain and the body and promoting neuroplasticity – the connections between the brain, spinal cord and body that enable bodily functions.

How can intensive rehabilitation aid those living with a neurological condition?

Although the specific process of intensive neurological rehabilitation differs from one therapy centre to the next, depending on the goals of each specific person, this type of therapy can last weeks, if not months and is more often than not followed up with ongoing rehabilitation exercises they can do themselves. This is what sets it apart from other types of rehabilitative therapies.

Each person living with a neurological condition presents differently. Many clients can be aided by a tailored process that focuses on several bodily functions such as balance, mobility, fine motor skills and muscle strength.

Intensive neurological rehabilitation veers away from the realms of normal therapy, but how? Although normal rehabilitation therapy focuses on how one may improve functions such as movement and balance, this type of practice combines the use of state-of-the-art equipment and usually, a multi-disciplinary team of specialists to deliver a bespoke package to a person, both in a clinical setting and in their environment. Intensive rehabilitation can significantly reduce recovery times after an accident and increase short- and long-term benefits.

With many people doing a minimum of three hours of therapy per day with an intensive programme, it has more long-lasting and beneficial outcomes than other types of rehabilitation. This type of therapy includes a tailored plan, supported by the aid of trained specialists. By improving the level of patient compliance, intensive rehabilitation improves the probability of people achieving their recovery goals.

What equipment is used in intensive rehabilitation?

Although the equipment differs from one clinic to the next, most clinics that specialise in this type of neurological rehabilitation feature state-of-the-art equipment to aid a wide range of functions.

From VR and Tele Therapy through the use of Virtual Reality headsets and a combination of gaming and exercise to standing or cycling pieces of equipment that are designed to strengthen and condition muscles in the body – clinics use a large variety of equipment pieces to stimulate different parts of the brain, body and spinal cord.

Intensive rehabilitation services

Intensive rehabilitation can support those living with a neurological condition by delivering a bespoke plan tailored to the person’s neurological needs, alongside the inclusion of equipment and a multi-disciplinary team of specialists that can support the brain and the body.

VIM Health offers a wide range of services designed to rehabilitate those living with neurological conditions and those who have suffered a neurological injury. 

This intensive rehabilitation service is carried out at a state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre in Brighton by a highly-skilled and knowledgeable multi-disciplinary team.

Your rehabilitation journey will begin with a detailed assessment by a team of specialists. From there, the team will create an intensive rehabilitation program tailored to your needs and recovery goals.

This will include a combination of one-to-one therapy and intensive training with innovative technology, including robotic, sensor-based and virtual reality devices.

High-repetition task-specific training will be carried out to enhance neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity is the process that allows the brain, spinal cord and body to reconnect and find new ways to help the body function.

With the use of rehabilitation technology, VIM Health can improve outcomes quicker than traditional hands-on therapy alone.

There is no need for you to get a referral, there are accessible hotels nearby if you need to travel far and prices and packages vary on the type of rehabilitation service you require.
