Neurological Rehabilitation, Physiotherapy and Maintenance of Function
Are you or a relative suffering from a long term neurological condition and you are in pain, uncomfortable or wanting to do more?
We can work together on common conditions such Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke/CVA and other long-term conditions.
Providing neurological physiotherapy at home leads to greater function and ability to be independent. In familiar surroundings, movement can be more fun, easier and less stressful.
As a neurological physiotherapist, I am skilled in manual handling, positioning, seating, facilitating movement and function in the home environment. I can teach carers how to assist in care and activities.
Parkinson's physiotherapy at home will include using hobbies such as gardening, dancing and music to bring out the best in your functional ability, exercises to improve balance, strengthening and movement initiation.

Multiple Sclerosis physiotherapy at home or out and about will assess and assist in managing abnormal tone, loss of movement, pain, positioning, strengthening, and re-gaining function following relapses.

Stroke or Cerebrovascular Accident/CVA can have a devastating effect on your function and ability to participate in daily activities, get back to work or your hobbies and have a good quality of life. I can work with you to minimise abnormal muscle tone, regain active movement in normal movement patterns, re-learn walking, maximise use of the affected upper limb and protect from further injury. Being able to transfer in and out of bed, on and off the toilet or commode or even being able to walk across the room to your favourite armchair.
Working together to find a balanced, healthy lifestyle with reduced pain and discomfort and re-education of movement in your home and/or familiar environment.
