It is essential that individuals with meningioma receive specialist neurological physiotherapy in order to treat the symptoms and return to a normal active life. Depending on the stage of your condition, physiotherapy treatment may include:
- Muscle strengthening
- Core stability exercises
- Muscle and joint mobilizations
- Balance exercises
- Transfer practice ie. bed to chair or sit to stand
- Mobility practice
- Provision of walking aids/exercise equipment
- Hydrotherapy
- Pain and scar tissue management
- Advice and education re: fatigue
- Practice of functional activities
- Reintegration into the community/ work
- Carer education
All treatment will be focused on specific goals set by the individual during the initial assessment. Perhaps your brother had cancer 5 years ago and he still has problems with his walking, his goal could be to walk to the corner shop within a month. Maybe you’ve had surgery to remove the cancer and want to get back to your normal routine; you could aim to return to swimming or cycling. Those who have a loved one who has declined medical treatment may benefit from physiotherapy to keep them comfortable and maintain dignity at the end of life.
