Neurological Physiotherapy
Our specialist neurological physiotherapy focuses on restoring movement and function for patients with neurological conditions. Using evidence-based techniques, we address posture, balance, and mobility challenges through tailored programmes. Our experienced therapists work one-on-one with patients to develop strength, coordination, and confidence in daily activities.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Comprehensive stroke rehabilitation programmes target recovery of motor skills, gait, and upper limb function. We employ hands-on therapeutic handling and progressive exercise regimes to maximise functional independence. Our approach combines clinical expertise with patient-specific goals to optimise recovery outcomes.
Balance Training
Specialised balance training addresses postural instability through targeted exercises and movement re-education. Our therapists use advanced techniques to improve proprioception, core stability, and fall prevention strategies. Sessions incorporate specialist equipment to enhance safety and progression.
Home Visits
Home visit services provide accessible treatment for patients with mobility limitations. Our therapists deliver the same high-quality interventions in patients' homes, adapting programmes to domestic environments. This service includes equipment-free techniques and home exercise programme implementation.
Body Weight Support Treadmill
Our Biodex body weight support treadmill enables safe gait retraining for patients with mobility impairments. This technology reduces fall risk while allowing intensive walking practice. Therapists adjust support levels to match patient capabilities and progression needs during rehabilitation sessions.
