Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT)

Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) is a therapeutic approach designed to improve movement and function in individuals with neurological conditions, such as stroke, cerebral palsy, or brain injuries. Developed in the 1940s, it emphasizes facilitating normal movement patterns by understanding how the brain and body interact. Therapists use hands-on techniques to guide patients in achieving better posture, coordination, and mobility. NDT focuses on promoting functional skills in everyday activities, helping patients regain independence and improve their quality of life by retraining the brain and body to work together effectively.
