Neurophysiotherapy

What is Neurophysiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is the assessment and treatment of individuals who have neurological conditions or impairments; for example Traumatic Brain Injury, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis and Stroke.

First Physiotherapy Appointment

An initial neuro assessment is required to take a detailed history of your condition and any other medical issues you may have. I will also look at your movement patterns, strength, posture, balance and mobility. This helps me to identify your physical abilities and your goals before your treatment starts.

The treatment programme may include strengthening exercises, stretching, postural work, balance exercises and walking practice (gait re-education). These programmes are supported with ongoing advice and education.
The physiotherapy assessment will take about an hour and it is advisable to wear light and comfortable clothes. Ongoing treatment sessions will be between 45mins to 1 hour. The frequency of these appointments will vary dependent on your agreed treatment plan and goals.

Physiotherapy appointments are provided in your own home. This allows a more personal and individualised approach to your treatment. Clients often report that they feel more relaxed and comfortable in their own environment as their rehab can be optimised to fit in with their daily routine.

Home visits are offered in Keynsham, Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas.

Prices

∗ Please note there will be an additional charge to cover travel time if you live more than 5 miles from the Core Rehab base in Saltford. This will be discussed and agreed prior to your initial appointment*

Testimonials

"Kate started working with D after his stroke, age 45, now just over two years ago, mainly on his upper body physical strength rehabilitation and later using a mix of Pilates and physio to give him a muscle workout and core strength to counter the mainly sedentary lifestyle he was leading post-stroke. He had always been very active and had lost strength from the stroke and Kate took our concerns and created a bespoke programme focussed on rebuilding the muscles slowly in his arms whilst also working on his whole body /core strength. Kate listened, gave advice on exercises, reassured and supported us with her knowledge and skills in physio post stroke care. We are so glad to still have the benefit of Kate’s support with D’s continued recovery and would highly recommend her to others. Thank you Kate"

“Kate has been a complete godsend during my rehabilitation; she understands what’s needed, and somehow manages to find new ways of undertaking dozens of repetitions so that I don’t get bored! Her endless patience and welcome flexibility have allowed my recovery to progress whilst continuing to work and run a busy household”

"Kate is a very good Physio /Pilates instructor, knowledgeable, kind and she always comes with a smile. She understands how to get the best out of people by being happy/serious at the same time. She goes through the exercises which she explains in great detail and in a clear and easy to understand manner. The positive way she points out how you can do better and pushes you to the max, is a benefit of working with her. Her methodical way of working is a positive asset, she adapts to your energy levels without you realising (at first) she’s changing the lesson plan to accommodate you. I can honestly say that I would highly recommend her to anybody"

“Change happens through movement and movement heals”
