Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) can significantly impact a person’s ability to move, function, and live independently. Whether caused by trauma, stroke, or illness, the journey to recovery often requires expert rehabilitation support. At SP Therapy Services, we deliver specialist neurological physiotherapy in the home to support clients with ABI across Bury, Holmfirth, Bradford, Blackburn, Stalybridge, Barnsley, and surrounding areas.
Understanding Acquired Brain Injury
An ABI refers to any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. It may result from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), stroke, tumour, infection, or lack of oxygen. Depending on the severity and area of the brain affected, individuals may experience muscle weakness, reduced coordination, difficulty with balance, cognitive challenges, and fatigue.
How Physiotherapy Helps ABI Recovery
Physiotherapy is a vital part of the neurorehabilitation process following an ABI. Our specialist interventions aim to:
- Improve mobility and motor function
- Rebuild strength, balance, and coordination
- Manage muscle tone and spasticity
- Support safe transfers and posture
- Reduce fatigue through energy management strategies
- Re-establish independence in daily tasks
We provide physiotherapy in real-life settings that matter most – the home, community, or supported living environments. This allows us to work on practical goals like walking indoors or outdoors, using stairs, managing transfers, or preparing meals.
Supporting Case Managers and Solicitors
SP Therapy Services is proud to work closely with case managers and solicitors supporting clients following ABI. We understand the complexity of litigation cases and the need for:
- Prompt assessment (within 2 weeks of referral where possible)
- Clear treatment plans delivered within 14 days
- Regular SMART goal updates and progress reports every 12 weeks
- Transparent costings and efficient communication
We ensure our physiotherapists communicate clearly with the wider MDT and provide the documentation required to support case progression and rehabilitation planning.
