Stroke
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted, either by a blockage (ischaemic) or a bleed (haemorrhagic), often resulting in weakness, communication problems, and loss of function.
How we help: Our team has extensive experience in stroke rehabilitation, focusing on restoring movement, function, and independence through personalised therapy.
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI)
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is any damage to the brain that occurs after birth that is not related to congenital or degenerative conditions. It can result from trauma, illness, or other medical events, and may cause temporary or permanent changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, or behavioural functioning.
How we help: We offer specialised, multidisciplinary rehabilitation addressing a wide range of symptoms to support recovery and promote independence.
Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
A spinal cord injury (SCI) is damage to the spinal cord that disrupts communication between the brain and the body, often resulting in loss of movement, sensation, or autonomic function below the level of injury.
How we help: Our team undertakes detailed assessments and provides ongoing, individualised therapy to improve mobility, strength, and independence.
Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive neurological disorder caused by the loss of dopamine-producing nerve cells in the brain, leading to tremors, stiffness, slowness of movement, and balance difficulties.
How we help: Our PD Warrior-trained physiotherapists use specific exercises to improve movement, slow symptom progression, and support daily function.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the protective myelin sheath around nerves in the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves, causing a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, weakness, coordination problems, and visual disturbances.
How we help: Our team supports recovery during relapses and provides customised rehabilitation to enhance mobility, strength, and independence.
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)
Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a condition where the brain has trouble sending and receiving signals properly, leading to real neurological symptoms without structural damage to the nervous system.
How we help: We implement graded, goal-oriented rehabilitation to help retrain the brain and body, reduce symptoms, and restore function.
Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS)
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a rare, potentially life-threatening neurological disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves, leading to rapid-onset muscle weakness and sensory disturbances.
How we help: Our team provides tailored rehabilitation to support muscle recovery, improve mobility, and address any long-term impairments.
Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
Motor neurone disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that damages the motor neurones (nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord responsible for controlling voluntary muscles), leading to muscle weakness, speech, swallowing and breathing difficulty and eventual paralysis.
How we help: We offer supportive therapy to maintain function, adapt daily activities, and enhance quality of life for as long as possible.
Cerebral Palsy (Adults)
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a group of neurological disorders caused by abnormal brain development or damage to the developing brain, affecting a person’s ability to control movement, posture, and balance. Whilst the location and extent of brain damage remains stable throughout life, presenting symptoms can change with age.
How we help: We assist with managing posture, mobility, and pain, using hands-on therapy and adaptive strategies to support daily function.
Ataxia
Ataxia is a neurological condition characterized by poor coordination, balance, and muscle control, often resulting in clumsy or unsteady movements, altered gait, speech difficulties, and problems with fine motor tasks. It often stems from cerebellar damage.
How we help: We offer balance and coordination training, strength exercises, and assistive strategies to help improve control and independence.
Transverse Myelitis (TM)
Transverse myelitis is a rare neurological condition caused by inflammation of the spinal cord, leading to sudden weakness, sensory changes, and issues with bowel or bladder control.
How we help: We guide recovery with progressive exercises, gait training, and strategies to regain mobility and manage daily activities.
Amputation
Amputation is the surgical removal of a limb or part of a limb due to trauma, disease, or poor circulation.
How we help: We provide rehabilitation to build strength, improve mobility with or without prosthetics, and regain independence with daily activities.
Frailty
Frailty is a medical condition, most common in older adults, characterised by reduced strength, endurance, and physiological function, which increases a person’s vulnerability to illness and injury.
How we help: Our team delivers structured exercise programmes focused on improving strength, balance, and endurance to reduce future risk, whilst enhancing quality of life.
Falls
Older adults are at increased risk of falls due to a combination of physical, sensory, cognitive, environmental, and medication-related factors that compromise balance, strength, and reaction time. Falls can lead to serious injuries, reduced mobility, and loss of confidence.
How we help: We perform comprehensive assessments and implement fall prevention strategies including strength, balance, and home safety programmes.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV)
BPPV is a common inner ear disorder that causes brief episodes of vertigo (feeling like the room is spinning), triggered by changes in head position due to displaced crystals in the semicircular canals.
How we help: Our therapists use repositioning manoeuvres (such as the Epley manoeuvre) and balance retraining to relieve symptoms and restore stability.
Vestibular Hypofunction
Vestibular hypofunction is a condition where the balance system in the inner ear (the vestibular system) is not working properly, leading to dizziness, unsteadiness, and difficulty with gaze stability and movement coordination.
How we help: We offer vestibular rehabilitation therapy, including eye and balance exercises, to retrain the brain and reduce symptoms.
