We do this by providing high quality specialist neurological physiotherapy in Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire and Somerset. All assessments and treatments are carried out at your home, so there is no travelling involved.

A stroke happens when the blood supply to the brain is cut off or reduced, either by a clot, a bleed or a mass like a cyst or tumour. This will result in the brain being damaged, meaning that movement and feeling are reduced, usually down one side of the body. A stroke can also affect speech, swallowing, balance and the emotions.
Parkinsons Disease, or PD, happens when there is a lack of chemicals, called neurotransmitters in the brain. These usually allow messages to pass freely from your brain to your muscle so that you can move about. With PD, there is not enough of these neurotransmitters and messages are unable to get to the muscles causing difficulty in walking and 'freezing'.
Transverse Myelitis or TM is a rare condition where inflammation of the spinal cord causes weakness in the leg muscles. This is usually rapid in onset, and the severity will depend on the spinal level that is affected. The legs, and sometimes the arms and trunk, will become paralysed and lose feeling.
This rare condition is caused by a progressive demylination of the peripheral nerves, followed by remyelination and recovery. Myelin is a coating on the nerves which enables messages to be sent between the spinal cord and your muscles and skin. Without myelin, the nerves cannot transmit messages which results in paralysis.
