FES is the use of electrical stimulation to make a particular muscle work in a way that helps you function. It is most commonly used to correct foot drop but can also be applied to different areas of the leg to make a positive impact on your mobility.
FES can:
We have a selection of the latest devices to try and can advise you about the most effective solutions.
Should I choose FES or a splint (AFO)? Call us to discuss your specific situation.
We may recommend high-tech, light-weight and comfortable orthotics that can correct foot drop and more. We stock a selection of the best AFOs we can find from trusted suppliers that allow varying degrees of support and flexibility. These products are not routinely supplied by the NHS and might feel quite different (lighter & more comfortable) to ones you’ve tried before.
We can bring a selection of suitable devices with us to your appointment to allow you to try them out and make a well-informed decision. If you need something custom-made, we can recommend private orthotists that we’ve worked well with before. They may also consider in-soles, toe splints or medial arch supports to improve foot support and stability throughout the leg.
Should I choose FES or a splint (AFO)? Call us to discuss your specific situation.
Sometimes people just need small amount of support and FES or an AFO is not required. In these instances, we can trial devices that strap around the ankle and connect to the foot or shoe to help pull the toes up. Another alternative is a supportive sock.
Parkinson’s disease and several closely related conditions cause problems with mobility when neural pathways are interrupted. This can result in a frustrating inability to get going, freezing mid-walk, or taking short, shuffling steps.
The NextStride is a device that that fastens easily to a stick, walking pole or walker, and gives audio and visual cues to help initiate and regulate stepping. Proven benefits include reduced falls and increased walking speed. Contact us if you think this might help, and we’ll arrange a trial.

This company has helped me regain much more of my balance and core strength lost in the first lockdown. Through weekly visits, with plenty of exercises to do daily in between, I have come a long way to regaining core strength and balance. Thank you to a wonderful specialist physiotherapist that makes each visit to give me more confidence.

Bob was in a very poor condition when Catriona came to see us, and he is making very good progress. Catriona is always positive and in just a few weeks has made a big difference in Bob's life, and we can't thank her enough for all her help.

I’ve been working with Kenny for around five years, initially for surgical rehabilitation and then for ongoing mild cerebral palsy. He has been so encouraging and supportive throughout. He regularly changes my 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!

I have been the fortunate recipient of expert and professional physiotherapy from Ali and Katy following a stroke. They are professional and compassionate, very expert and great fun; their expertise and appointments have been both necessary and a delight. I would recommend this firm very highly and without reserve, and their staff are deserving of the highest praise.

NeuroPhysio has been absolutely fantastic with the help and support provided to my mum. Her confidence has grown, she is stronger and making amazing progress. Thank you to Emma for always making time available to talk things through, the patience and also the persistence to get the best outcome.

Tracey is always pleasant, considerate, and obviously a dedicated first-class therapist. She has done a great deal for my wife's condition (disability and tremor following a stroke), not least for her morale. She gives great encouragement. Her visits have become friendly occasions for my wife, who frequently asks when Tracey is coming back.
