Who is the physiotherapist in Nervenia?
In addition to the professional profile established by law, the physiotherapist who works in Nervenia is required to undergo further training provided by Nervenia itself, aimed at the physiotherapeutic treatment of neurogenic pathologies and the use of the peripheral nervous system as a cornerstone for the rehabilitation of patients, to re-establish the impaired function of the nerves, to reduce pain and to speed up the recovery of the function of an organ or a compromised body system.
How is the problem assessed in Nervenia centers?
The evaluation according to the Nervenia standards is the first and important step of the rehabilitation process: through the reading of the instrumental exams held by the patient and prescribed by his doctor and through manual tests and palpators it is essential to understand which type of approach to follow and where to apply the therapy.
Nervenia centers use their own guidelines, carefully developed with years of experience, to apply two types of approaches in a very personalized way, neurodynamics and Deep Nerve Stimulation (DNS).
