Neurological physiotherapy at home
Neurological physiotherapy supports people whose movement has been affected by a condition of the brain, spinal cord or nerves. That might mean walking has become slower or less steady, one side of the body feels weaker than the other, or everyday tasks such as standing up from a chair take more effort and concentration than they used to.
Many people we see are living with a long-term condition such as Parkinson's or multiple sclerosis, while others are recovering after a stroke or a period of neurological illness. The difficulties vary a great deal from person to person, so treatment is always built around what you want to be able to do rather than around a diagnosis alone.
Seeing a physiotherapist at home can be especially helpful with neurological conditions. Fatigue, reduced mobility and the effort of travelling can make clinic appointments hard work, and practising in your own hallway, kitchen and stairs means the skills you rebuild are the ones you actually use every day.
Who can benefit?
Adults living with a neurological condition, people returning home after a stroke or hospital stay, and anyone noticing changes in walking, balance or coordination linked to a neurological problem. Family members and carers are welcome to be involved from the first visit.
