One-to-One Physiotherapy Sessions

You’ll usually use this time with our experts to work on specific aspects of your breathing, balance, strength, co-ordination, and flexibility. Making improvements in these areas can help reduce the risk of falls and improve your motor skills, stamina, and range of movement.

Your physiotherapist can also help with other aspects of your wellbeing including:

• Providing acupuncture
• Mobility equipment assessments and referrals
• Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) if you have foot drop
• Kinesio-taping to support and stabilise your muscles and joints and reduce pain
• Advice on a range of issues relating to managing your condition

Group Exercise Classes

Our programme of online and in-person classes lets you work on your general fitness and mobility every week.

The classes are designed and delivered by our physiotherapists. They’re specifically for people living with neurological conditions and we have options for all abilities. Our classes are good fun and a great way to improve your fitness, make friends and keep yourself motivated.
