Who this service is for

Neurological rehabilitation may be suitable if a neurological condition has affected your movement, strength, coordination, balance, walking, transfers or independence with daily activities.

Home physiotherapy allows rehabilitation to be focused around meaningful everyday tasks, such as moving around the home, getting in and out of bed, standing from a chair, walking, using stairs and practising functional activities in a familiar environment.

• Reduced walking ability, balance or coordination
• Difficulty with transfers or functional movement
• Reduced strength, endurance or confidence
• Changes in mobility following a neurological event or condition
• Need for structured rehabilitation at home
