MND is where there is a problem with the nerves that travel to the muscles in order to tell them what to do, these nerves are known as ‘motor neurons’. Motor neurons are found in the brain and spinal cord.
Although this disease is a rare condition, our Physiotherapists are experienced with supporting people with this diagnosis.
It is important to maintain muscle power, joint range of movement, confidence with movement and tone. We support you with joint goal setting at your initial assessment and then a specific therapy plan to maximise your movement. We are also able to provide Nutritional Therapy assessment and intervention.
The following treatment options would be available to you:
· Electrical stimulation – to your muscles
· Functional electrical stimulation (FES) on anFES bike or using the StellaBio stimulator in function
· Treadmill training
· Balance and co-ordination
· Robotic movement devices
· Postural and core muscle strengthening
· Exercise therapy
· Nutritional Therapy
· Relaxation advice with neural dampening work
Friedreich’s ataxia causes nervous system damage and movement problems. It usually begins in childhood and leads to impaired muscle coordination (ataxia) that worsens over time.

At Complete Neuro Rehab, our experienced physiotherapists work with individuals diagnosed with MND to set personal goals and create tailored therapy plans. Our treatments include a combination of exercise therapy, balance and coordination work, as well as nutritional advice. We also offer advanced treatments like robotic gait trainers and electrical stimulation to support movement and muscle function. Our holistic approach ensures that every person receives the care and attention they need to live as independently as possible for as long as possible.
While MND currently has no cure, several treatment options are available to help manage the symptoms and improve quality of life. At Complete Neuro Rehab, we offer specialised therapies including: Electrical stimulation for muscle support Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) for enhanced mobility Treadmill training and robotic movement devices Postural strengthening exercises Nutritional therapy to address dietary needs These treatments aim to maintain muscle strength, improve coordination, and promote overall well-being for people with MND.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a rare condition that affects the nerves, specifically the motor neurones that send messages from the brain to the muscles. These nerves are responsible for controlling voluntary movements such as walking, speaking, and breathing. When the motor neurones are damaged or die, the muscles gradually weaken and waste away. This results in difficulties with movement, speech, and other physical functions. In some cases, it can also affect the ability to breathe independently.
