What is neurological physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is the branch of physiotherapy that treats conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. The goal is to improve movement, balance, coordination, gait, and functional independence through targeted, repetitive, task-specific practice that drives neuroplastic change.

What conditions do you treat?

Stroke (acute, sub-acute, and chronic), Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, peripheral neuropathy, vestibular disorders, and other movement and balance conditions.

How does physiotherapy help after a stroke?

Stroke rehabilitation works by driving neuroplastic change through repetition and task-specific practice. We retrain movement patterns, improve balance and walking, manage spasticity, and rebuild the strength and endurance needed for daily activities. The earlier we begin in the rehabilitation window, the more responsive the nervous system tends to be.

Can physiotherapy help with Parkinson's disease?

Yes. Evidence-based protocols including high-amplitude movement training (the LSVT BIG framework) and progressive aerobic exercise improve mobility, balance, and gait in Parkinson's. We also work on falls prevention and posture, which are core long-term concerns.

How can you help someone with MS?

For MS, we build personalised programmes that address the specific symptoms most affecting daily life: fatigue management, strength and balance work, spasticity control, and energy-conservation strategies. We adjust intensity around relapse and remission patterns.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

No referral is required in Dubai. Our doctors of physiotherapy perform a structured clinical assessment and design the rehabilitation plan from there. If we think a medical review or imaging is appropriate, we will refer you to a partner provider.

What should I expect at the first assessment?

A detailed conversation about your history, symptoms, and goals, followed by a physical assessment of movement, strength, balance, gait, and coordination. We then talk through what we found and what the first phase of the plan looks like.

How does insurance work?

We are insurance-friendly through a pay-and-claim model. You pay at the clinic, and we provide detailed invoices and medical reports so you can submit reimbursement claims directly to your insurer. We recommend calling your insurer before your visit to confirm neurological physiotherapy coverage.

Where are you located and how do I book?

Office 1510, SIT Tower, Dubai Silicon Oasis. We have paid visitor parking and accessible clinic access. To book a complimentary initial consultation, call us at +971 50 301 3005.

How We Approach Neurological Rehabilitation

Task-Specific Training: High-repetition practice of the actual movements you want to recover (sit-to-stand, reaching, walking, stairs), the most evidence-based driver of neuroplastic change.

Gait and Balance Retraining: Structured work on walking pattern, balance reactions, and fall prevention, often using overground walking, treadmill, and external cues.

Strength and Conditioning: Progressive resistance training to address the deconditioning that follows neurological injury and to support functional capacity.

Spasticity and Tone Management: Manual techniques, stretching protocols, and movement strategies to manage tone and improve range of motion.

Neurological Outcome Measures: Balance, gait, strength, tone, endurance, and function checks such as TUG, Berg-style balance tasks, 6-minute walk, and tone screening when clinically appropriate.

Equipment and Orthotic Guidance: When a brace, AFO, walking aid, or other equipment is appropriate, we guide selection and integration. We work with your existing equipment rather than pushing replacements.

How We Work

Care that goes beyond the clinical room

Real tools that change how you experience your treatment, from the moment you walk in to the day you walk out pain-free.

Live Translation AI

The moment you walk in, our front desk speaks your language. So does your doctor during every consultation and session. Real-time audio translation runs in both directions with zero latency, so we effectively speak every language, not just three.

Physio Cure Connect

Your care continues between visits in Physio Cure Connect. Manage appointments, follow your recovery, review session history and doctor-published clinical updates, message your doctor securely in the Recovery Room, and download invoices on iOS, Android, or the web.

Doctor-guided home exercise plan

Your Recovery Room turns prescribed home exercises into clear, patient-specific guidance: exact dosage, step-by-step technique, start-and-finish visuals, video demonstrations, common mistakes, safety notes, and progression rules.

On-demand consent translation

The digital consent form shows in English and Arabic by default. Speak something else? Pick your language from the drop-down, tap translate, and read the full form in your own language before you sign anything.

Flexible payments

Pay by card, Tabby installments, Ziina, or a private payment link. Whatever works for you.

Why patients choose Dr. Mina Gamil

Neurological recovery takes time. Patients value the guide more than the protocol. Patients consistently describe him as a doctor who educates generously, and for many of them, he is a guide through their real healing journey.

Insurance-friendly through pay-and-claim

Your insurance still works with us. We hand you a detailed, claim-ready invoice and a medical report your insurer expects, and you submit for reimbursement straight from your portal. The reason we run pay-and-claim instead of direct billing: it keeps your treatment plan doctor-led, designed around what your body needs, not capped by what a network pre-approves.

1
You pay your session at the clinic, with flexible options including Tabby installments, Ziina, and standard cards.
2
We hand you the detailed invoice and the medical report your insurer needs, the same day.
3
You submit for reimbursement to your insurer. We are happy to talk you through what to send.

Tip: a quick call to your insurer before your first visit confirms your physiotherapy coverage and avoids surprises later.
