Overview 

A neurological condition is a condition where the nervous system doesn't function as well as we need it to due to malfunctions of any part of the system such as the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves or neuromuscular junctions. Those malfunctions may happen due to a multitude of reasons such as physical injury or changes, congenital disorders, infection and environmental or psychological factors causing structural, biomechanical or electrical abnormalities in the nervous system.

​

As a result, a person with a neurological condition may experience a range of symptoms including weakness or paralysis of muscles, changes in sensation, loss of coordination, balance difficulties, tightness of muscles and joints, pain, changes in vision, dizziness, speech and language problems, slowed or disordered thinking, changes in alertness and behaviours, fatigue and poor sleep.

​

The nervous system has the capacity to change, re-learn functions, heal and adapt. Consequently, a person with a neurological condition may have the potential to recover certain functions and movements or slow down the progression of a certain condition through therapy aimed at targeting the nervous system.
