Understanding the service

Rehabilitation is built around the activities that matter in daily life.

Neurological physiotherapy may address movement, balance, walking, transfers and functional independence when the brain, spinal cord or nerves have been affected.

Goals are set with the patient and family, then reviewed as abilities and priorities change.

Who this may be for

Conditions supported

Treatment is adapted to the diagnosis, medical stability, current abilities and home circumstances.

What to expect

A clear process from first assessment to progress review.

Listen and assess

Discuss the problem, relevant history, daily demands and the goals that matter to you.

Explain the findings

Receive a clear explanation of what was found and which factors may be contributing.

Begin the plan

Treatment may start when appropriate, with practical guidance for the time between visits.

Review and progress

The plan is adjusted according to response, function and the next stage of your goals.

The approach

Task-focused neurological rehabilitation

Sessions use repeated, meaningful practice to work on movement and daily function. The plan may include mobility, balance, strength, coordination and strategies for safer movement.

The pace and level of assistance are adapted to the person, with clear guidance for carers where appropriate.

Bed mobility, transfers and walking practice

Balance, coordination and falls-risk management

Strength and endurance for daily tasks

Carer education and a practical home programme

Home-based rehabilitation

Home visits can reduce the burden of travel and allow treatment to focus on the actual bed, chair, bathroom, stairs and other spaces used every day.

Support for carers

Carers may receive guidance on safer assistance, positioning and suitable practice between sessions. Recommendations are tailored to the patient’s needs and the home environment.

Progress over time

Recovery differs from person to person. Goals are reviewed regularly so that the programme remains realistic, useful and connected to daily function.

Important

New stroke symptoms need emergency care

Sudden facial weakness, arm weakness, speech difficulty, loss of balance or other new neurological symptoms require urgent medical assessment. Do not use the appointment form for an emergency.

Practical answers

Questions patients commonly ask

These answers are general. Your assessment and medical-aid rules may change what applies in your situation.

When can physiotherapy begin after a stroke?

Rehabilitation often begins as soon as the medical team considers it safe. Timing depends on medical stability and the person’s condition. Community or home-based treatment can continue after discharge.

Is it too late to make progress after a stroke?

Progress can occur at different stages of recovery. The type and rate of change differ between people, but a focused programme can still address mobility, function and confidence well beyond the early months.

Are home visits available?

Yes. Selected home visits are available when travelling is difficult or when treatment in the home environment is clinically useful. Location, availability and travel fees are confirmed before booking.

Can family members attend the assessment?

Yes. Family or carers can provide useful information and learn how to support the treatment plan, provided the patient consents or their involvement is otherwise appropriate.
