Often treatment will incorporate strengthening exercises, posture and core training, stretches and massage for tight muscles, balance re-training and gait re-education. We will teach you how to move more efficiently and therefore function more effectively. We are able to use specialised equipment to build on your abilities and challenge those area you need to improve. These may include wobble boards, a step, gym balls, hand weights and dynobands. We will make the treatment sessions individual to you and geared to your ability. We also aim to instil a sense of fun and variety to keep the treatment stimulating to you and your central nervous system! We can also use techniques drawn from yoga, pilates and tai chi and have been known to use boxing equipment, a ViPR, medicine balls and even a hoola hoop! If treatment is stimulating you will be more engaged and consequently get better results.

NNP specialises in the treatment of Stroke, Head Injury, Spinal Cord Injury, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis and all other neurological conditions. We also work with individuals who have reduced mobility, strength, balance and function.

If you would like to discuss any aspects of your condition or the treatment that we offer you are welcome to call Nottingham Neurological Physiotherapy on 07726 928 626. Alternatively send an email to info@nottsneurophysio.co.uk with some details about your situation and we will email you back or give you a call. Following an initial discussion we can arrange for one of our therapists to visit you and provide an initial physiotherapy assessment.

Each individual with a neurological condition will have specific issues and abilities. At NNP we provide a comprehensive initial assessment – we will assess your strength, flexibility and co- ordination. This will be linked in with your sitting posture, standing ability, balance, walking and hand dexterity. We may also observe how you move from sitting to standing, reach for objects, move on a bed and how you manage stairs. Once we have completed the initial assessment we will be able to explain our findings and offer advice and recommendations.

Once the physiotherapist has completed your assessment we will discuss our findings openly and honestly with you. At this point we can discuss your treatment requirements and answer any questions you may have. We can then plan your treatment to suit your availability.

We treat most of our patients in their homes as travel can be time and energy consuming for them. It allows the therapist to work with you in the environment that you have to function in. For example walking in your house, reaching for your cup, climbing your stairs and moving on your bed. Treatment is adapted to suit your needs and what you need to improve. For those that are more mobile we can offer treatment at the Bay Therapy Centre (www.baytherapycentre.com) or at Radcliffe Physiotherapy (www.radcliffephysiotherapy.co.uk) where we can use their fully equipped therapy rooms.

We have a broad catchment area around the Nottinghamshire area and can go further afield if required. Each case can be discussed on an individual basis.

Yes all our physiotherapists are specialist neurological physiotherapists and members of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (www.csp.org.uk) and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (www.hcpc-uk.co.uk) . Our physiotherapy assistant is also a member of the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy and the personal trainer is Level 4 qualified which ensures she is skilled to work with individual’s with additional needs. Therefore you can be assured we are a team of highly specialist professionals who are entitled, qualified and insured to provide an excellent service to you.

Absolutely not there is no expectation you will continue treatment with us. We are happy to explain our findings and provide some recommendations then leave you to decide if you want to begin treatment.

That ranges from several times per week to once every 6 weeks. The frequency of neurological treatment can vary greatly depending on your requirements and circumstance. As a small team we can offer flexibility and reliability, we aim to offer convenient treatment times to suit you.

Again our flexibility is the key. We are happy to be paid on an ongoing sessional basis or we can arrange for a monthly invoice. We are happy to be paid in whichever form suits you cash, cheque or bank transfer.
