Neurophysiotherapy is a specialist area of physiotherapy for people whose movement and function are affected by conditions involving the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves. It supports recovery and long-term management for conditions such as stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and other neurological disorders.

Neurophysiotherapists use evidence-based assessment and treatment to improve mobility, balance, strength, coordination, walking and confidence. Sessions may include hands-on techniques, tailored exercise programmes, gait retraining, and task-specific practice focused on real-life goals (for example: transfers, stairs, outdoor walking, or returning to meaningful activities).

Your rehabilitation plan typically combines:

• Restorative strategies to regain function where possible, and
• Compensatory strategies to maximise independence and safety when symptoms persist.
   

The overall aim is to improve day-to-day function and quality of life, reduce complications (such as falls and deconditioning), and help you achieve the goals that matter most to you.

Neurophysiotherapists help individuals with neurological conditions by addressing movement, function, and overall quality of life. 

They focus on:

✶ Mobility & Walking – Improving gait, balance, and coordination to enhance independence.

✶ Muscle Strength & Control – Helping regain strength, reduce weakness, and improve motor control.

✶ Balance & Fall Prevention – Enhancing stability to reduce the risk of falls and injuries.

✶ Spasticity & Muscle Tightness – Managing stiffness, involuntary movements, and improving flexibility.

✶ Post-Stroke & Brain Injury Recovery – Supporting rehabilitation through functional exercises and neuroplasticity-based techniques.

✶ Pain Management – Reducing discomfort caused by muscle tightness, weakness, or abnormal movement patterns.

✶ Hand & Arm Function – Helping restore fine motor skills and dexterity for daily activities.

✶ Fatigue Management – Teaching energy conservation techniques for neurological conditions like MS.

✶ Posture & Positioning – Encouraging proper alignment to prevent complications and improve comfort.

✶ Independence & Daily Living Skills – Enhancing the ability to perform everyday tasks with greater ease pain.

We are a multidisciplinary neurological rehabilitation practice focused on holistic recovery. 

Following your initial assessment, we will advise whether additional support alongside Neurophysiotherapy is likely to improve your outcomes. This may include input from an occupational therapist, speech and language therapist, psychologist, dietitian, or a qualified personal trainer.

Where appropriate, we introduce these clinicians in our treatment routines, ensuring the approach is tailored to your goals and delivered at the right time to optimise outcomes.

We begin with a free initial phone consultation followed by a detailed face to face assessment to understand your medical history, current challenges and personal goals. We will create a customised treatment plan tailored to your needs. 

Our goal is to support you on your journey to holistic recovery with a plan that works best for you.

The frequency of sessions depends on several factors, including the patient’s condition, goals and the stage of recovery. Our treatment plans are flexible and tailored to individual needs. 

✶ Intensive Treatment Program: 3 - 5 sessions per week. 

For those who require focused, high-frequency therapy to achieve rapid progress.

✶ Regular Program: 2 - 3 sessions per week. 

A structured and consistent approach to meet your ongoing rehabilitation goals.

✶ Maintenance Program: 1 - 2 sessions per week or in a fortnight. Designed to help you sustain progress and prevent setbacks.

Most common are 1 hourly sessions. Patients may choose 90 minutes to 2 hour sessions on adhoc basis to include educational guidance, weekly customised therapy routines to be performed at home outside of our therapy sessions.

We can see you at your home or at your preferred community environment, gym, coffee mornings or rehabilitation centre. or at our clinic and virtually too.

Yes. We can advise on equipment and home adaptations, with a particular focus on orthotics and functional electrical stimulation (FES)

Orthotics (splints and braces)
If your walking pattern is being affected by weakness, poor foot clearance, or ankle instability, we can assess your gait and advise on the most appropriate orthotic solution (for example an ankle-foot orthosis). We work with a network of orthotics clinics and can recommend the most suitable provider, share clinical findings (with your consent), and help ensure the splint selection is matched to your goals, footwear, comfort and safety.  

Functional electrical stimulation
Where clinically appropriate, we can assess and recommend functional electrical stimulation (FES) for both the lower limb and upper limb. In the leg, it is commonly used to support walking efficiency and safety (for example improving foot clearance, step timing, and endurance). In the arm and hand, it can be used to support active movement practice and functional use during task-specific rehabilitation (for example reaching, opening the hand, or supporting purposeful movement during daily activities).

If you are suitable, we will:

• Recommend the most appropriate device and set-up based on your presentation, goals, and tolerance
• Configure it for safe home use (including electrode placement and initial settings)
• Train you and, where relevant, your family or carer to use it confidently 
• Review and optimise the programme over time as your movement and function change

 Home adaptations and wider equipment
Beyond orthotics and stimulation, we can also advise on practical home set-up for example rails, ramps, bathroom adaptations and other safety-focused changes.

Stroke rehabilitation starts as soon as it is safe to do so and continues after discharge. 

• It includes goal-led Neurophysiotherapy (strength, balance, walking, transfers) and occupational therapy (daily activities, upper limb function and independence)
• Clear home programme to drive progress between sessions. 

Yes, fatigue is common after stroke. Therapy helps by pacing activity, building tolerance gradually, improving movement efficiency and creating a realistic routine so you can do more without flare-ups or setbacks. 

Yes. This is our main objective with every patient under our care.

We specifically train real-world walking: kerbs, slopes, uneven ground, road crossings, and community routes. We progress this step-by-step so you regain confidence, safety and independence outdoors. 

Yes. We support this through structured, practical strategies that improve day-to-day function: pacing, routines, task breakdown and graded “real-life” practice. 

Where needed, our occupational therapist and psychologist will get you the right support for both cognition and confidence. 

Yes. For return to work, we build a step-by-step plan focused on stamina, productivity, and job-specific tasks, with workplace strategies where relevant. 

For driving, we can help you rehabilitate the physical and functional skills that underpin safe driving and we will guide you towards the appropriate medical and specialist driving assessment pathway when needed. 

Yes, people with functional neurological disorder (FND) can improve with the right approach and the right support. 

We are confident in this because we have supported patients to make meaningful progress and regain independence through structured, goal-led rehabilitation.

One of our patients has shared their recovery journey on our Google Reviews page. If you are living with functional neurological disorder, we encourage you to read their story as a helpful example of what can be possible with the right rehabilitation plan.

As with any neurological condition, progress varies. Outcomes are influenced by factors such as understanding and acceptance of the diagnosis, consistency with therapy and home practice and identifying and reducing factors that may be maintaining symptoms.

We focus on movement retraining (making movement feel automatic again), reducing symptom-driven guarding, improving balance and walking in real-life situations and creating a practical home plan. 

We introduce Psychotherapy and Occupational therapy sessions where helpful to achieve a holistic recovery outcome.

Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is a common cause of brief, sudden dizziness triggered by changes in head position (for example turning in bed, looking up, or bending down). 

It is caused by small crystals in the inner ear moving into a canal where they should not be.

Often, yes. BPPV is one of the more “high-yield” dizziness diagnoses because it commonly responds well to repositioning manoeuvres that can provide rapid relief.  

What to expect:

• You may feel brief vertigo during the manoeuvre itself; this is common and expected. 
• Some people improve after one treatment, while others need repeat manoeuvres depending on canal type, symptom duration, and recurrence.

Yes. You do not need a perfect label to start. 

We can assess the likely drivers (strength, vestibular function, sensation, coordination, vision, footwear, medication effects, confidence, or environment) and create a clear, step-by-step plan to improve stability, reduce falls risk and build confidence with everyday mobility.
