A variety of symptoms can result from interruption of blood flow to the brain. We’ve seen wonderful progress for our clients who are diligent with their neurophysio treatment.
A stroke occurs when there’s an interruption of blood flow to the brain. This can result from a burst blood vessel or a clot causing a blockage. The severity of symptoms depends on the size of the area of the brain affected, and how long the interruption lasts. Signs and symptoms typically correspond to the functions controlled by the area of the brain affected.
Stroke may also be called: brain attack, cerebro-vascular accident, CVA, brain haemorrhage.
Common challenges after a stroke include:
We want to help you re-gain as much function as possible. From our clinical experience, we know that after the first six months of recovery, clients need to keep challenging themselves to improve.
Recovery potential is always an educated guess. We’ll discuss this with you when we’ve had a chance to get to know you. We may encourage you to complete a period of intensive rehabilitation so we can measure progress over a set period of time and get a clearer indication of your full potential to improve.
"I have been the fortunate recipient of expert and professional physiotherapy from Ali and Katy following a stroke. They are professional, compassionate and moreover great fun, so that their appointments and have been both necessary and a delight."
Kenneth Walker, Stroke Survivor.
Lots of rehabilitation technology has been designed with stroke survivors in mind, to help them maximise the speed and extent of their recovery. We can integrate use of these devices into your routine. Click below to read more about the different technologies available for mobility and for hand and arm recovery.

In these traumatic injuries, the damage in the spinal cord can range from being partially injured (incomplete) to completely severed (complete). For more incomplete injuries, muscles may continue to recover for long periods of time and function may improve as a result. For complete injuries, there may be a near total absence of movement and sensation below the level of the injury.
Spinal cord injuries may also be called: central cord syndrome, anterior cord syndrome, posterior cord syndrome, Brown-Séquard syndrome.
Common challenges after a spinal cord injury
The challenges can vary depending on the level of the spine affected and severity of your injury. If you’ve had incomplete injury where some movement has been retained you may be facing reduced mobility, reduced arm or hand function, reduced balance or falls. You’ll probably be learning how to maximise recovery while also compensating for any permanent loss of function by finding new ways to get the job done!
For complete or more severe incomplete injuries it may be that learning to adapt to life using a wheelchair, controlling spasms and muscle tightness, developing a routine to stay active and learning to be as independent as possible are your main challenges.
We understand that these sudden, often traumatic injuries have life changing consequences. You’ll probably spend a long period of time in hospital recovering and you may have huge adaptations to make to home and work life on discharge. By the time you get home, you should have a good idea about your future potential and often your physical goals may be to maintain your current abilities or to continue to make some slow, steady progress. There is often limited NHS therapy input after discharge so we can provide support when required.
For more incomplete injuries we will help you maximise the recovery of movement in the areas of the body that have been affected. This may include work on hand function, transfers, balance and walking.
For more severe injuries, we might focus on upper body strengthening, standing frame routines, stretches, transfers or wheelchair skills.
“My physio is such a nice person, knows the ropes clearly, always follows up with what's promised and is never late or unreliable.”
Robin, an active person living with spinal cord injury.
People with enough leg power to stand might benefit from Functional Electrical Stimulation or Ankle Foot Orthoses to help them turn, transfer or walk more safely and efficiently.

Brain injuries are caused by serious blows to the head, often as a result of a fall or motor accident. (We don’t include congenital, degenerative or hereditary brain conditions in this category.)
Brain injury may also be called: head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic head injury, severe brain injury.
Common challenges after a brain injury
Brain injuries can be extremely complex and people often have a large range of symptoms that can be physical, cognitive and emotional. Memory, concentration or motivation may be affected or there may be significant physical signs such as weakness, muscle spasm, tightness, loss of sensation or reduced coordination, affecting any part of the body.
We’ll focus on helping maximise the physical aspect of your recovery, and bring an understanding of the common emotional and cognitive challenges too.
Treatment normally uses exercises to target weak areas, stretches to release tight muscles and hands-on physio to help you re-learn better ways of moving, all with the goal of making you more physically independent and working towards the goals that matter most to you. We’ll find the right environment for your treatment and give the additional materials to support optimal management when we’re not there.
"Thanks to Tracey I can now manage small tasks with my arm and I’m also walking more steadily without my stick."
Susan, Glasgow.
If you have a mobility problem such as foot drop or difficulty using your hand or arm, there might be some Rehabilitation Technology that could help.
We can also advise on sleep systems to improve comfort and pressure care, resting splints to maintain range of movement, and wheelchair options to promote good posture.
Find out moreReduced levels of dopamine affect control of movement. We’ll introduce you to neuroactive exercises that can help reduce symptoms and get you moving better.
Parkinson’s disease affects a part of the brain that produces a chemical called dopamine. Dopamine is responsible for regulating the movement of the body, so people with Parksinson’s disease can present with a wide range of different movement problems. Other non-motor symptoms are also common. People with Parkinson’s are often prescribed medication that can help manage symptoms. Exercise has been described as a new ‘medication’ for PD thanks to the significant benefits it has shown.
Common challenges with Parkinson’s disease include:
Movement challenges – involuntary shaking or tremors, slow movements, balance problems and stiff, inflexible muscles. “Freezing” when trying to walk is also a very common complaint.
Non-movement challenges – fatigue, cognitive impairment, apathy, depression and anxiety.
It’s our job to get you motivated, active and challenging yourself! Research has shown that specific types of “neuroactive” exercises can help slow the progression of the disease and in some cases reduce the levels of medication required over time.
The evidence also tells us that being sedentary worsens symptoms and can lead to depression and fatigue. Regular exercise can help improve balance, flexibility, strength, fitness and coordination. It can also improve sleep patterns and mental health. Early treatment is therefore really important so the sooner you establish a good routine after your diagnosis, the better. We can teach you how to apply the right principles to your exercise regime to get maximum benefit.
If your symptoms are more advanced we will still find a way to get you moving. Our focus might be more on how you manage to stand up, transfer or walk more efficiently, or it might be targeted at keeping you flexible and comfortable. We assess everyone as an individual so we can guide you on the most suitable treatment to help you maximise your abilities.
Nexstride is a simple piece of technology that can provide both visual and auditory “prompts” to help you get going if you suffer from episodes of freezing when you walk. It can help you walk faster and fall less.

MS is a disease that affects nerves in the brain and the spinal cord. There’s still a lot we don’t know about MS but it is thought to be an auto-immune disease, where the body’s own immune system starts to attack the nerves. This interferes with the electrical signals that travel along your nerves and can cause a huge variety of symptoms. It’s one of the most common causes of disability in young adults.
Common challenges with multiple sclerosis
MS can cause a wide range of symptoms; people often experience problems with vision, arm or leg weakness, sensation and balance. Fatigue, heat sensitivity, and foot drop are other common symptoms.
Early after diagnosis, treatment often involves guiding good lifestyle choices as well as specific interventions such as stretching or strengthening exercises. There is emerging evidence about higher intensity exercise for MS and how that can be used to strengthen the connection between the brain and different muscle groups. Our expert team will guide you through the process of getting fitter and becoming resilient.
For people with more significant challenges, we can provide treatment focused on stretching, getting into comfortable positions, standing routines, bed mobility and transfers. Sometimes just having easy access to an experienced ear can help guide your decisions about how best to manage different problems when they arise. Whatever the situation, we can assess the situation then design and implement a plan to maximise function and independence.
If you have fatiguable foot drop or something else affecting your walking, then reading Technology to Help with Mobility might be helpful. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) often works well for people with MS and we have some of the latest devices available to trial.

Cerebral palsy (CP) is the name for a group of life-long conditions that affect a person’s ability to move. Cerebral refers to the brain while palsy means weakness. CP is caused by a problem with brain development or damage before, during or soon after birth.
Common challenges with cerebral palsy
The symptoms of CP vary significantly from person to person but commonly include weak, stiff or floppy arms and legs, jerky or uncontrolled movements, and altered posture, coordination and balance. This could cause mild problems with walking or using a hand normally, or there could be more severe problems with being unable to walk and having difficulty maintaining a good, comfortable posture.
There can be difficulties when moving from NHS children’s to adult services, or when young adults’ routines change significantly due to work and other lifestyle factors. CP itself does not get worse over time, but often symptoms become more apparent as people get older.
We’re here to help you stay as fit, active and independent as possible, for as long as possible, by helping you establish good routines and motivating you to make sure you’re getting the most out of your body. We commonly work on posture, strength, flexibility and balance using a combination of exercise and hands-on techniques.
I’ve been working with Kenny Thoms for around five years, initially for surgical rehabilitation and then for ongoing physio for mild cerebral palsy. He has been so encouraging and supportive throughout. He regularly changes my physio programme to keep me motivated and always pushes me to be my physical and functional best. I’ve seen huge changes since we started working together – hopefully there’s lots more to come!

Find out moreMany conditions can cause imbalance, dizziness and stumbling. Our team includes neurophysios with additional training in vestibular disorders who will help assess and treat your specific issues.
The vestibular system, which resides in the inner ear and brain, processes sensory information. It is responsible for controlling eye movements and balance. When this system is affected by disease or injury, it may result in dizziness, vertigo, nausea, imbalance and stumbling, and/or migraines. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV), vestibular neuritis, labyrinthitis and vestibular migraine are common vestibular diagnoses.
Common challenges with inner ear conditions
The sudden onset of an inner ear problem can often be quite distressing. Dizziness, vertigo, a ‘spinning’ or ‘whirling’ sensation and nausea can lead to difficulties walking, stumbling, tripping, and falls.
Dizziness & balance problems can be the result of problems in the inner ear. Similar symptoms may result from stress, dehydration, heart problems, and vision issues. Or, there may be neurological causes. Our neurophysios with additional training in vestibular disorders are expertly placed to be able to help assess and treat appropriately. Call us and we can arrange for you to speak to one of our vestibular trained specialists.
We’re well-trained & ready to treat people with less common conditions like these.

GBS is a disease that causes inflammation of the peripheral nerves (these are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord). This causes weakness in muscles throughout the body. The cause is unknown but it is often preceded by an infection of some kind. It can affect the arms, legs, body and the ability to breathe properly and recovery can take between 2 weeks and 2 years. Around 80% of people make a complete recovery, however some are left with some residual weakness. Physiotherapy helps to strengthen weak muscles, stretch and mobilise stiff joints, and ensure you’re motivated to achieve your goals. We’re often asked to supplement or extend treatment after discharge from hospital and we’re great at making sure you don’t leave any small “hidden” weaknesses unaddressed.

CIDP is a disease that causes inflammation of the peripheral nerves – these are the nerves outside the brain and spinal cord – which can result in a loss of strength and sensation. Several nerves are involved and it normally affects both sides of the body in a similar way. Symptoms may include difficulty walking or using hands properly.
Physiotherapy can help maximise the efficiency of muscles that have retained their nerve supply. It can also help maintain flexibility and ensure that you reach or maintain your maximum potential.
If weakness does persist it is commonly around the ankles and a dynamic Ankle-Foot Orthoses (AFO) might help.

There are many different types of neuropathies that affect the peripheral nerves, such as GBS and CIDP (mentioned above). Other common nerve conditions may result from diabetes, exposure to certain toxins such as alcohol, poor nutrition (particularly vitamin B deficiency), and complications from diseases such as cancer or kidney failure. Symptoms normally start with sensory problems like numbness or tingling, but can progress to causing weakness such as foot drop that typically affects balance and mobility. Physiotherapy is focused on making sure you maximise the function of muscles that still have a nerve supply, and looking at strategies to improve balance and mobility. This might be exercise targeted to improve your fitness and balance reactions, or it may look at technologies that correct foot drop or compensate for reduced sensation.

Often it can be difficult to isolate exactly why an older person is not functioning as well as they used to; there may be many factors interacting, such as old injuries, multiple illnesses or events that have knocked a person’s endurance or confidence. Even if there’s not a specific neurological diagnosis, we’re in a good position to be able to guide effective rehabilitation – we can visit people in their own homes to understand the practical difficulties they may be facing, and we’re good at managing complex problems with many contributing factors.

Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is an umbrella term covering a variety of abnormalities related to small blood vessels in the brain. In many cases, it seems to be a consequence of a narrowing of the smaller blood vessels that nourish brain tissue. This can reduce the amount of oxygen getting to the brain and result in damage. Symptoms may come on gradually, progress slowly and often include problems with cognition, walking and balance. SVD is also linked to strokes and dementias. Treatment will focus on getting fitter to maximise the efficiency of your heart, lungs and blood vessels, while addressing any specific mobility problems.

This is a type of spinal cord injury. It differs from most SCIs in that the cause is not traumatic but due to an internal problem with the blood supplying an area of the spinal cord. Rehabilitation will be the same as for other spinal cord injuries: We’ll begin with a thorough assessment and discussion about your goals, then develop a personalised treatment plan to help you reach an optimal level of physical function.

Cervical myelopathy results from compression of the spinal cord in the neck. Symptoms of cervical myelopathy may include problems with fine motor skills, pain or stiffness in the neck, loss of balance, and trouble walking. You should seek urgent medical attention and surgery is often indicated. Neurophysio could look at posture and stability around your neck or at helping you try to regain lost function through exercise-based treatments. We’ll begin with a thorough assessment and discussion about your goals, then develop a personalised treatment plan to help you reach an optimal level of physical function.

Transverse myelitis is a rare disease of the central nervous system involving inflammation of one level or segment of the spinal cord. The inflammation causes swelling which can block messages (nerve impulses) travelling between the nerves in the spinal cord and the rest of the body. Onset can be sudden and cause weakness and loss of sensation below the area of the spine affected. Spontaneous recovery can occur to varying degrees from around two months, with some people making very good recovery and others left with lasting disabilities. Neurophysio can support your recovery and may include exercises for muscle strength, flexibility and co-ordination. Advice on how best to manage fatigue and painful sensations can also be useful.

Sometimes even the most qualified neurologists aren’t able to make a specific diagnosis. You may have some clear neurological symptoms but the cause may not be identified. This can make predicting how things will be in the future difficult. However from a neurophysio perspective, we’ll treat you exactly as we would if you came to us with a diagnosed condition: by doing a thorough assessment and designing a personalised treatment programme to target problem areas. We’d take special care to ensure we have some objective measurements in place to track any changes in presentation and we’re always happy to liaise with your GP or neurologist.

People suffering a complex traumatic injury often spend many months in hospital, require many surgeries, and may have a large array of orthopaedic, internal, skin, and neurological injuries. There have often been long periods of bed rest with significant levels of deconditioning. There are also secondary problems such as contracture development or pressure areas to contend with. On top of all that, there are the psychological effects of coping with such a sudden and life-changing event.
We have the knowledge and experience to guide rehabilitation in a gradual, progressive and manageable way. We know that establishing a good relationship is essential for the long-term commitment that is required to maximise recovery. We can help establish contracture management regimes, graded exercise and mobility programmes, and compensation strategies where necessary in order to maximise function and re-integration into society. We will always use the personal goals of the client and their loved ones to guide our treatment, from being able to transfer independently, through returning to work or sport.

Losing the ability to pull up your toes when taking a step forward is a very common problem in people with neurological conditions. Often there’s a combination of weakness in the shin muscles, coupled with tightness in the calf muscles in the back of the leg. Treatment to help you recover will therefore often be based on a strengthening and stretching programme. Sometimes people need more assistance to get going; that’s when rehabilitation technology to help mobility may work especially well.

There are lots of factors that cause a person to lose their balance and fall over. There could be any combination of muscle weakness, lack of co-ordination, poor vision, lack of concentration, trip hazards, poor lighting, fatigue, dizziness, anxiety or low blood pressure. Our expert neurophysios will help you pick apart what the main factors are for you, and make sure we address each of them to help you improve as much as possible and minimise risk of injury. We also cover what to do if you do have a fall to make sure you stay as safe as possible.

It’s very common to lose confidence and feel anxious about physical tasks. Sometimes all you need is an experienced eye to assess your ability and help you set sensible parameters about what you can and should do independently and safely. Once this is established, we can then help you work towards challenging yourself a little more as your confidence builds. Some of our best results have come from helping people realise that they’re limited by a loss of confidence rather than physical ability.

We use our hands for everything – eating, drinking, toileting, scratching our noses, communicating, holding hands – so for many it’s a vital part of their rehabilitation. Often arm function receives less attention when in hospital because the focus is on mobility goals that facilitate getting you home more quickly.
We appreciate that maximising hand function can be really challenging, especially if there is significant weakness and tightness in the hand that prevents gripping objects. Compared to rehabilitation for the leg, it can feel like you have to put in twice as much work for the same gain, so it’s really important that we help you identify realistic goals to get you started. Then we can commence a graded exercise programme, and consider the use of rehabilitation technology to help hand & arm function to really up the ante. We’ll keep measuring your progress to help with motivation and make sure you make rational choices about where to focus your rehabilitation.
Get in touch to discuss potential strategies to improve your grip and arm movement.
An injury to the brain or spinal cord can sometimes cause muscles to tighten up in an uncontrolled way. Weakness may also mean that a joint or muscle doesn’t get moved as it normally would. These things can lead to resistance when trying to move or, in more severe cases, contracture in muscles and joints.
Our role is firstly to ensure that we prevent any contracture – it’s much easier to prevent than to reverse changes after they’ve happened. Once we’ve minimised the risk of deterioration, we can focus on what we can do to improve the situation. Often it will involve stretching, joint mobilisation, and active strengthening where possible. Sometimes we’ll turn to rehabilitation technologies such as Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) or tight fitting compression garments known as Sensory Dynamic Orthoses. We’ll also help you screen for trigger factors that might be making tightness worse – problems with the bladder, bowel or skin are common ones. Medical management can also be vital so we’ll liaise with your medical doctor as needed to ensure any medication or injections you receive are having the maximum effect.

Fatigue is extremely common in people who’ve had a traumatic event like a stroke or brain injury, and with diseases such as MS. Education is really important to understand what type of fatigue you’re experiencing and how best to deal with it. It might seem counter-intuitive, but in most cases the evidence tells us that exercise actually reduces feelings of fatigue. (I know, a physio would say that, but it’s true!) Often, we will try and help you plan and stick to a routine. We can help you avoid the boom-and-bust cycle of doing too much, then doing nothing for days; we may ask you to keep an activity diary to help you see patterns emerging.

Ok, so you’ve done some great basic rehabilitation but where to next? Often at this stage the level of support from other services is reducing or has stopped altogether but you may still have higher goals to aim for.
