Home Visit Neuro-Physiotherapy Services
We are all aware that the Health service struggles to provide on-going support to patients with long term chronic conditions. We find patients have been left to manage their own condition. Neuro-Physiotherapy is a specialism within physiotherapy that focuses on the rehabilitation of stroke, brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, brain tumours, cerebral palsy, motor neurone disease, muscular dystrophy, Guillain-Barre Syndrome and many other conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nerves.
After an injury to the brain such as a bleed or car accident the body is unable to grow new brain cells. The recovery is dependent on your brains ability to re-organise the healthy undamaged cells, this is called neuroplasticity.
Physiotherapists specialise in facilitating this following injury, helping the brain make new connections and pathways to promote recovery of the body, arm or leg movement.
Physiotherapists are experts at rehabilitation. Our physiotherapists have undergone specialist Bobath training and will integrate this approach effectively into their clinical practice.
Neuro-Physiotherapy Treatment Plans
Due to the complexity of neurological conditions an in-depth assessment of your motor, sensory and cognition is required to formulate an accurate clinical picture. Based upon this we will formulate a treatment plan specific to your needs and based on your personal targets you wish to reach. Following your assessment, a course of treatment sessions will be planned with your goals and aims in mind. This will consist of one to one time with our physiotherapist, exercise plans for you at home and advice for family and carers.
It is important to us that we teach you and your friends/family management of your condition, so your independence is promoted, aiding your recovery. For more information, please see our Blog article.
