Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Therapy

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Physiotherapy At Physionyx Physiotherapy & Rehab, ALS physiotherapy is a personalised neurological rehabilitation service designed to help patients maintain safe mobility, flexibility, comfort, posture, and independence for as long as possible. Since ALS is a progressive neurological condition, treatment goals are adjusted according to the patient’s symptoms, strength, fatigue level, respiratory function, and stage of the condition. Physiotherapy may include gentle range-of-motion exercises, stretching, posture management, balance and gait training, breathing support, energy-conservation strategies, fall prevention, positioning advice, mobility-aid recommendations, and caregiver education. Where appropriate, the physiotherapist may also guide safe transfers, walking, wheelchair use, splinting, and home modifications to support daily function. The aim is not to overwork weakened muscles, but to reduce stiffness, prevent avoidable complications, support safer movement, manage fatigue, and help patients and caregivers adapt to changing needs. Treatment should be coordinated with the patient’s neurologist and multidisciplinary medical team, especially when there are swallowing, speech, breathing, or rapidly progressing weakness concerns
