Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT)

Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a therapeutic approach used to help individuals with movement disorders, often due to conditions like cerebral palsy or stroke. It focuses on improving the person's ability to move and function in daily life by addressing how they control their body movements. NDT emphasizes hands-on techniques to facilitate and guide movements, promoting better posture, balance, and coordination. Therapists work closely with patients to enhance their natural abilities, encouraging optimal movement patterns and independence in activities. Overall, NDT aims to improve quality of life by enhancing motor skills and physical independence.
