Welcome to The Birkdale Clinic

Physiotherapy for neurological disorders - adult and paediatric

How does it take place?

Sessions will normally take place in my clinic, lasting for one hour. I will ask you to wear casual clothing. I have a hands-on approach – with a neurological disorder there is usually no other approach to take. My clinic is spacious and equipped with aids to assist us. Initially I will work with you to:

• identify your areas of concern
• understand the impact the condition has had on your life
• develop a rehabilitation programme that works for you.

In subsequent sessions, we will attempt:

• to position and re-align the muscles and joints
• to create normal movement.

This stimulates the brain and body to ‘remember’ normal movement patterns. Patterns need to be repeated in different ways many times over, practiced and corrected to stimulate the neural pathways, mobilise and strengthen the appropriate muscles.

Research has shown this neural stimulation to be the most effective method of maintenance and recovery for those with neurological disorders.

I might be interested, what next?

• contact me by email or phone for a preliminary discussion about your needs
• arrange to meet for an initial consultation
• the first session may take up to two hours as we will discuss your history and I will assess your personal needs
• after this we will agree on how best to proceed with future treatments
