What We Do
The management of neurological and other complex conditions requires specialist knowledge and expertise in order to deal with the associated physical problems that arise. We provide rapid specialist Physiotherapy assessment and treatment in your own home.
Early intervention is often required to treat the immediate problems that are caused by these conditions. If not promptly managed, many of the symptoms can become more severe and last considerably longer.
Some conditions deteriorate over time and require prompt intervention to help prevent the loss of strength, function and independence.
We provide a service which places our client’s needs as our top priority. We will be open and honest about your ability to improve from Physiotherapy and work with you to promote your independence and quality of life by sharing our knowledge. Whether you are newly diagnosed with a neurological or physical condition or have been living with one for many years, we are happy to discuss with you what the options are and try to help.
We are always happy to discuss your needs whether you are self-referring or enquiring on behalf of someone else. Our motivated team of Physiotherapists have extensive experience in Rehabilitation and are happy to provide you with advice and tailored programmes to meet your needs.
Physiotherapy is essential to aid recovery and prevent the development of other problems. You decide what goals you want to work towards, your therapist will work with you to break these down into short and long-term goals. Our aim is to help as many people as possible to try to recover and improve, as well as to support their family and carers. We will work with you and agree on the frequency of sessions to create a specific and effective programme to suit your needs.
