Treatment at our clinic or in your own home." canonical: "https://healthflex.co.uk/service-categories/neurological-rehabilitation" --- # Neurological rehabilitation Neurological rehabilitation is physiotherapy for a nervous system that has been injured or is changing. After a stroke, or with a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, or following a spinal cord or brain injury, the problem is not only the muscle. It is the signal reaching the muscle. Treating that well takes a physiotherapist who works in this field regularly, and it takes time. This is the part of Healthflex we are best known for locally, and it is the reason people travel to us from Godalming, Farnham, Petersfield and further. Very few private clinics in this catchment offer neurological rehabilitation at all. We treat at the clinic in Haslemere and, where getting to the clinic is the hard part, we treat at home. ## What does neurological physiotherapy actually involve It begins with a long assessment, because the picture is more complicated than a single sore joint. We look at strength, at tone and stiffness, at balance, at how you walk, at how safely you transfer in and out of a chair or a bed, and at what you want to be able to do that you cannot do at the moment. From that we build a programme of hands on treatment and specific exercise, and we adjust it as things change. ## Is it worth starting a long time after the event Often yes. The largest gains after a stroke tend to come in the first months, which is why we like to start early, but improvement does not stop at six months or at a year. NHS guidance and the NICE guideline on stroke rehabilitation both support continuing rehabilitation for as long as a person is still making progress towards their goals. Where the condition is progressive, as with Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, the work is about maintaining function, confidence and independence for longer, and the evidence for exercise doing that is strong. ## Can family be involved Yes, and we encourage it. A great deal of neurological rehabilitation happens between appointments, and the person helping at home needs to know what they are doing and why. We will teach you, and we would rather you asked us too many questions than too few. ![Care worker assists man with cane walking down bright hospital corridor](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fcare-worker-assists-man-cane-corridor.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1790609082117&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ![Man in red athletic top receives assisted shoulder stretch with blue resistance band from therapist](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fhealthflex-stroke-rehabilitation.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1789557522798&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw)![Older man with forearm crutches assisted by smiling female therapist in bright corridor](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsenior-man-assisted-walking-crutches.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1790609082346&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) - ![Older man with forearm crutches assisted by smiling female therapist in bright corridor](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fsenior-man-assisted-walking-crutches.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1790609082346&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Neurological physiotherapy Specialist physiotherapy for a nervous system that has been injured or is changing, at the clinic in Haslemere or in your own home. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/neurological-physiotherapy) - ![Man in red athletic top receives assisted shoulder stretch with blue resistance band from therapist](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fhealthflex-stroke-rehabilitation.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1789557522798&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Stroke rehabilitation Physiotherapy after a stroke, working on movement, strength, balance, walking and the practical tasks of daily life, at the clinic or at home. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/stroke-rehabilitation) - ![Care worker assists man with cane walking down bright hospital corridor](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fcare-worker-assists-man-cane-corridor.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1790609082117&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Parkinson's physiotherapy Physiotherapy for people living with Parkinson's disease, working on walking, balance, freezing, posture and keeping active for longer. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/parkinsons-physiotherapy) - ![Foot wrapped in bright yellow resistance band during assisted therapy on blue treatment table](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fhealthflex-multiple-sclerosis-physiotherapy.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1789557519134&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Multiple sclerosis physiotherapy Physiotherapy for people living with multiple sclerosis, working on mobility, strength, balance, spasticity and managing fatigue sensibly. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/multiple-sclerosis-physiotherapy) - ![Older man grips parallel bars for gait training while a therapist in blue scrubs supports him](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fhealthflex-balance-falls-brain-injury.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1789557519813&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Balance, falls and brain injury Assessment and treatment for unsteadiness, falls and loss of confidence on your feet, and rehabilitation after acquired brain injury. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/balance-falls-and-brain-injury) - ![Person in wheelchair holding a chrome barbell with black weight plates in a gym](/_next/image?url=%2Fapi%2Fmedia%2Ffile%2Fhealthflex-spinal-cord-injury-rehabilitation.jpg%3Fprefix%3Dtenants%252F6a993819fabdf5583928bbf1%26v%3D1789557517963&w=3840&q=75&dpl=dpl_FWxsgCyzDSRxWHosZK98qVgRxgBw) ## Spinal cord injury rehabilitation Physiotherapy after spinal cord injury, working on strength, transfers, posture, and maintaining function and independence over the long term. * * * £82 [Ring clinic](tel:01428642577)[View Service](/services/spinal-cord-injury-rehabilitation) ## Frequently Asked Questions What conditions does neurological physiotherapy help with? We treat people after a stroke, and people living with Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, acquired brain injury, and balance and falls problems. We also see people with less common neurological conditions, and if we are not the right service for you we will say so and help you find the one that is. Is it too late to start rehabilitation after a stroke? Usually not. Recovery is fastest in the early months, which is why we like to begin as soon as possible, but people continue to make gains well beyond the first year. NICE guidance supports continuing stroke rehabilitation for as long as a person is still progressing towards their goals. Can you treat me at home? Yes. Home visit appointments are available across the Haslemere area and are how we see many of our neurological patients, particularly where travelling to a clinic is itself the difficulty. Do you work alongside my consultant or NHS team? Yes. With your permission we will write to your consultant, GP or NHS therapy team so that everyone is working towards the same goals rather than pulling in different directions.
