Regaining movement, balance and independence after paralysis from stroke, spinal cord injury or nerve damage, guided by Dr. Vashisht, MPT (Neurology), with 23 years of experience.
Paralysis affects movement and daily independence in ways that can feel overwhelming, often very suddenly. Recovery is possible, but it depends heavily on early, consistent and correctly guided physiotherapy. At our centre in Kharar, neurological rehabilitation is led personally by Dr. Vashisht, who holds a Master's degree specifically in Neurological Physiotherapy.
Paralysis can follow a stroke, a spinal cord injury, or nerve damage from other causes. If stroke is the specific cause, our dedicated Stroke Recovery page covers that condition and its recovery timeline in more detail — this page covers paralysis rehabilitation broadly, across all causes.
Paralysis is the loss of muscle function in part of the body, resulting from damage somewhere along the pathway that carries signals from the brain to the muscles — whether that damage is in the brain itself, the spinal cord, or a peripheral nerve. It can range from mild weakness to complete loss of movement in an arm, leg, or one entire side of the body. The nervous system retains a degree of ability to reorganise and relearn — a property called neuroplasticity — which is the scientific basis for why structured, repetitive physiotherapy produces real recovery, regardless of the underlying cause.
Treatment begins with a full neurological assessment to understand which movements, muscle groups and functions are affected, and what's causing the paralysis. From there, Dr. Vashisht builds a structured plan combining:
Home-visit physiotherapy is available for patients who cannot travel to the clinic, across Kharar, Mohali and Chandigarh.
Recovery varies by cause, severity and how early treatment starts. Many patients regain significant movement and independence with consistent, structured therapy, though the extent differs case by case.
Paralysis can also result from spinal cord injury, nerve damage, Guillain-Barre syndrome, spinal cord compression, brain injury, or certain infections affecting the nervous system - not only stroke.
Not always. Many patients regain meaningful movement with early, consistent physiotherapy, particularly when nerve pathways are compressed or partially damaged rather than fully severed. An individual assessment gives the most honest picture.
