Who we can help
For people living with a neurological condition, whether recovering after a stroke, recently diagnosed or managing a long-term condition such as Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis, and for the families and carers who support them.
People often get in touch about:
- Recovery after a stroke, whether it was recent or some time ago
- Walking, balance or turning becoming harder with Parkinson’s
- Fatigue, weakness or balance problems with multiple sclerosis
- Weakness, stiffness or reduced control in an arm or leg
- Difficulty with transfers, the stairs or getting up from the floor
- Falls, or a fear of falling
What the first visit involves
The first visit takes time to understand the person, not just the condition:
A conversation about how the condition affects daily life and what the person wants to work towards, with family or carers involved if they would like
An assessment of movement, strength, balance and walking, and of everyday tasks such as getting up, turning, reaching and the stairs
A look at the home or care-home room and any equipment, to see where things are hardest
Realistic goals agreed together, based on the person’s current abilities and priorities
If mobility is very limited
We can assess people with very limited mobility, including those who are bedbound. At the first assessment, we’ll discuss what physiotherapy may realistically help with and whether it is the right service for their needs.
If someone needs a lot of help to move, please talk to us before booking so we can understand their needs and plan the visit safely.
How treatment can help
Every neurological condition affects people differently, so sessions are built around the person’s current abilities and priorities, and practised in agreed steps: transfers, walking, balance, reaching and everyday tasks, where appropriate.
Stroke
Stroke rehabilitation is a regular part of our work. We focus on the specific difficulties a stroke has left, such as weakness on one side, balance, or arm and hand function, and practise them where they matter, at home or in a care-home room.
Parkinson’s
Parkinson’s often affects walking, balance, turning and getting up and down. Sessions use exercise and practical strategies for everyday movements, and the plan is adjusted as needs change over time.
Multiple sclerosis
With MS, fatigue, weakness and balance can vary from day to day. Plans are built around energy levels, and each session is adapted to how the person feels on the day.
Other neurological conditions
We also see people with other neurological conditions. If you are not sure whether physiotherapy at home could help, talk to us and we’ll discuss it with you.
A plan agreed with you
How often we visit is agreed individually and reviewed as things change. For long-term conditions, the aim may be to improve movement, or to maintain it for as long as possible. We work alongside family, carers and other professionals involved in the person’s care.

What patients say
Max has a really lovely manner about him. He is calm, reassuring and extremely patient, whilst also being very knowledgeable. Having someone come into your home can feel quite personal, but he makes you feel completely comfortable. I would have no hesitation recommending
Common questions
Is it too late to start physiotherapy after a stroke?
You can get in touch at any stage, whether the stroke was recent or some time ago. We will assess where things are now and agree realistic goals with you.
Can physiotherapy help with Parkinson’s?
Physiotherapy can support walking, balance, turning and everyday movements with Parkinson’s. We agree goals with you and adjust the plan as your needs change.
How do you work around MS fatigue?
Sessions are planned around your energy levels and adapted to how you feel on the day, so physiotherapy fits your week rather than taking it over.
How often will you visit?
It is agreed individually, based on the person’s goals, energy and circumstances, and reviewed as things change. There is no fixed number of sessions.
