Spasticity is a condition where muscles become stiff, tight, or resistant to movement due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. It is common in individuals with neurological conditions such as stroke, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis (MS), spinal cord injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. Spasticity can cause pain, limit mobility, and interfere with daily activities.
Spasticity can range from mild muscle stiffness to severe, uncontrollable spasms. Common symptoms include:
Difficulty moving or stretching muscles.
Sudden jerking or tightening of muscles.
Muscle tightness leading to pain.
Stiffness in legs or arms.
Long-term spasticity may cause contractures (permanent muscle shortening).
Our physiotherapy-based spasticity management and rehabilitation program aims to reduce muscle stiffness, improve movement, and enhance daily function. Treatment may include:
Helps reduce stiffness and maintain flexibility.
Loosens tight muscles and promotes relaxation.
Builds muscle control and coordination.
Improves walking ability and prevents falls.
Stimulates weak muscles to improve function.
Helps maintain proper limb positioning and prevents contractures.
Water-based exercises to relax muscles and ease movement.
Recommendations for mobility aids and modifications to daily tasks.
Our treatment follows a personalized, multi-step rehabilitation process:
Evaluating muscle tone, movement, and functional limitations.
Developing a customized therapy program.
Hands-on therapy, stretching, and functional training.
Adapting exercises based on progress.
Teaching self-management techniques for long-term improvement.
