Neurological Physiotherapy
Neurological physiotherapy in Henley-on-Thames
About this service
A neurological condition can change the way you move, sometimes suddenly and sometimes gradually. Neurological physiotherapy aims to help you make the most of your movement and independence, working on the goals that matter most to you.
Katherine has extensive experience in neurological rehabilitation. Every plan is individual: two people with the same diagnosis can have very different needs, priorities and ways of moving.
Who it may help
- People recovering after a stroke
- People living with Parkinson's disease
- People rebuilding function after an acquired brain injury
- Others whose movement or balance has been affected by a neurological condition — please get in touch to discuss whether physiotherapy may be appropriate
Common rehabilitation goals
- Walking with more confidence, or for longer
- Moving between sitting, standing and lying more easily
- Improving balance and coordination
- Building strength and reducing the effects of inactivity
- Managing everyday tasks around the home
- Staying as active and independent as possible over time
Goals are agreed together and depend on your individual circumstances; no particular outcome can be guaranteed.
Katherine's approach
How assessment and treatment work
Understanding the whole picture
We discuss your diagnosis, how it affects you day to day, any other care you receive and what you hope to achieve.
Detailed movement assessment
A specialist assessment may look at walking, transfers, balance, strength, coordination and fatigue, so treatment targets the right things.
Goal-focused rehabilitation
Treatment combines practical, task-based practice with targeted exercise, reviewed regularly and adjusted as your needs change.
What to expect
- A 60-minute specialist first assessment
- Honest, realistic discussion about goals and what physiotherapy may help with
- A clear plan, including what to practise at home
- Support for family members or carers to help with exercises, if you wish
