    Neurophysiotherapy focuses on enabling patients with neurological disorders through a comprehensive rehabilitation approach involving physical, cognitive, social, and psychological therapies. The role of the physiotherapist is to analyze normal and abnormal movement, address impairments, restore muscle function, and improve quality of life through evidence-based techniques. Effective neurorehabilitation requires an integrated team approach and follows steps of assessment, planning, intervention, and re-evaluation to achieve functional goals.
