Mangaluru, Karnataka: Neurological rehabilitation requires physiotherapists to develop knowledge of movement, functional recovery and rehabilitation strategies suited to people with neurological conditions. Farseen Mohammed P, a specialist physiotherapist in neurosciences and clinical researcher, has developed his professional foundation in neurophysiotherapy through postgraduate education, clinical training and continuing professional development.
Among his professional training experiences is education in Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT), adding to his exposure to neurological rehabilitation approaches.
Specialized Training in Neurosciences
Farseen completed his Master of Physiotherapy in Neurosciences at Yenepoya Physiotherapy College, Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), Mangaluru, with specialization in neurophysiotherapy and neurorehabilitation.
His postgraduate clinical training included exposure to neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury, Guillain–Barré syndrome and spinal cord disorders.
This clinical foundation has been supported by additional training in neurological rehabilitation techniques.
Training in Neurodevelopmental Treatment
In May 2025, Farseen completed a 24-hour training programme titled:
“NDT Framework – Functional Improvement of CP & Neuromotor Disorders.”
The programme was conducted through Yenepoya Physiotherapy College.
The training formed part of his continuing professional development in neurological and neuromotor rehabilitation.
NDT-based education can introduce physiotherapists to structured approaches for understanding and addressing movement and functional challenges associated with neurological conditions.
Connecting Training With Clinical Education
Farseen’s NDT training complements his postgraduate specialization in neuroscience physiotherapy.
During his clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital, he gained exposure to neurological rehabilitation involving several patient populations.
His training also included approaches such as the Motor Relearning Programme and task-oriented training.
These educational experiences contributed to his broader understanding of neurological rehabilitation.
Focus on Functional Improvement
A recurring theme in Farseen’s clinical and academic development is functional improvement.
His postgraduate dissertation examined the effect of eccentric versus concentric strengthening on functional mobility in subacute stroke patients.
The research focused on functional mobility, while his clinical training included rehabilitation approaches designed around movement and functional activities.
His NDT training adds another component to this broader rehabilitation education.
Experience in Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke rehabilitation is one of the principal areas of Farseen’s clinical and research interest.
His postgraduate dissertation examined strengthening interventions in subacute stroke.
He later presented this research at Mangalore PhysioCon 2026.
He also presented a systematic review concerning eccentric strengthening interventions in stroke rehabilitation at SYNERGOS 2026, where he received the first prize in the postgraduate oral paper presentation category.
His continuing education in neurological rehabilitation therefore sits alongside a substantial academic interest in stroke recovery.
Parkinson’s Disease and Neurological Rehabilitation
Farseen’s neurological rehabilitation experience also includes Parkinson’s disease.
His postgraduate clinical training exposed him to patients with Parkinson’s disease, and he later contributed to a published scoping review examining the timing of dopaminergic medication relative to physiotherapy delivery in adults with Parkinson’s disease.
The study was published in the International Journal of Drug Delivery Technology in 2026, with Farseen serving as second author and corresponding author.
This research adds an evidence-synthesis component to his clinical interest in neurological rehabilitation.
Motor Relearning and Task-Oriented Training
Farseen’s postgraduate clinical training included exposure to the Motor Relearning Programme and task-oriented training.
These approaches are relevant to rehabilitation programmes that focus on functional movement and activity.
His professional development has therefore involved exposure to multiple approaches rather than relying on a single rehabilitation framework.
The NDT training represents one component of this wider educational background.
Continuing Professional Development
Farseen has pursued continuing education throughout his physiotherapy career.
His professional development includes training in:
- Neurodevelopmental Treatment
- Motor Relearning Programme
- Functional approaches to stroke management
- Stroke rehabilitation
- Systematic review and meta-analysis
- Good Clinical Practice
- Health science research and publication
- Therapeutic exercise
These programmes complement his formal physiotherapy education.
Research-Oriented Clinical Development
Farseen’s clinical development has occurred alongside an expanding research portfolio.
His research interests include stroke rehabilitation, Parkinson’s disease rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise and evidence-based physiotherapy.
He has worked with both systematic-review and scoping-review methodologies.
This research orientation provides an academic dimension to his clinical training in neurological rehabilitation.
Broader Neurological Exposure
His postgraduate clinical training at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital provided exposure to several neurological conditions.
These included:
- Stroke
- Parkinson’s disease
- Traumatic brain injury
- Guillain–Barré syndrome
- Spinal cord disorders
This range of clinical exposure has helped shape his interest in neuroscience physiotherapy.
His additional training in NDT and other rehabilitation approaches forms part of this broader neurological education.
Beyond a Single Technique
Farseen’s professional profile reflects exposure to multiple rehabilitation approaches rather than a focus on one technique alone.
NDT training, Motor Relearning Programme exposure and task-oriented training are among the approaches included in his postgraduate education.
His clinical decision-making would depend on the individual patient, clinical presentation, professional assessment and appropriate rehabilitation goals.
The diversity of his training provides a foundation for understanding different perspectives within neurological physiotherapy.
Academic and Clinical Integration
The connection between clinical education and research is a recurring feature of Farseen’s career.
His clinical training has included direct exposure to neurological rehabilitation, while his academic work has explored rehabilitation questions through structured research methods.
His stroke research, Parkinson’s disease publication and therapeutic-exercise projects illustrate this combination.
NDT training adds another element to this clinically focused academic development.
Developing as a Neurophysiotherapy Professional
Farseen’s postgraduate specialization, clinical training and continuing education have contributed to his development as a neurophysiotherapy professional.
His formal education provides the academic foundation, while clinical exposure and professional workshops provide opportunities to develop practical knowledge.
His research activities further complement this process by encouraging critical examination of rehabilitation evidence.
Looking Ahead
Neurodevelopmental Treatment training represents one part of Farseen Mohammed P’s continuing development in neurological rehabilitation.
Together with his postgraduate specialization, clinical exposure at Yenepoya Medical College Hospital and additional training in motor relearning and stroke management, it contributes to a broad foundation in neurophysiotherapy.
His ongoing research in stroke, Parkinson’s disease and therapeutic exercise further connects his clinical education with evidence-based rehabilitation research.
As he continues to build his career, the combination of clinical training, professional development and research remains central to his work in neuroscience physiotherapy.
