Brain & Spinal Injury Handbook

Nationwide Recognition: community neuro physio Yorkshire

Community neuro physio Yorkshire receives nationwide recognition, as SP Therapy Services’ creative approach is proudly featured in the Brain & Spinal Injury Handbook 2025—a respected UK-wide publication showcasing innovation and excellence in neurological rehabilitation.

Our Yorkshire-based neurological physiotherapists, Jayne Hallford and Jane Raleigh, were invited to contribute an article titled “Rising Out the Box – Redefining Rehabilitation with Community Physiotherapy”, published in the national Brain & Spinal Injury Handbook 2025. The piece explores the power of creativity in home-based neurological rehabilitation, demonstrating how personalised physiotherapy can help people regain independence, confidence, and connection.

This year’s edition of the Handbook was distributed to attendees at the recent BABICM Conference, bringing our team’s work to the attention of brain injury case managers and rehabilitation professionals from across the UK.


Championing Community Neuro Physio Across Yorkshire

The article spotlights some truly inspiring patient journeys—from leading theatre performances to building core strength with the help of a kitten, or gaining confidence through horse simulators. These stories highlight how community neuro physio can transform lives when it meets people where they are—literally and figuratively.

At SP Therapy Services, we believe rehabilitation should never be one-size-fits-all. Our team delivers home-based neurological physiotherapy that adapts to the individual’s goals, environment, and interests—empowering people to take ownership of their rehabilitation.

Reviews

"We have used SP Therapy Services for around 6 years. They provide an excellent service. Our Physiotherapist, Jane has been an amazing support to our son with the various techniques she uses to encourage him to undertake his physio for his cerebral palsy. Following an operation last year, his programme was adapted accordingly and his mobility has improved. Jane has continued to look at different methods to keep him engaged with his exercises, using dance, darts, Nintendo switch which has kept him enthusiastic. We would be happy to recommend SP Therapy, they definitely provide an efficient, effective and reliable service."

"The team at SP Therapy Services are always professional and understand the need for client centred goals . It has been a pleasure to have Rebecca's support to enable one of her clients to connect with me and engage in Equine Facilitated learning sessions. Their support is much appreciated ."

"The physio team at SP Therapy Services are life enhancers. Not only are they excellent professionals- true experts in what they do, but they are also advocates, champions, and guardians of wellbeing.
My physio Jane has been particularly supportive of me and has helped me understand my own body, improve my strength and instil confidence. Jane does everything she can to help me improve but is flexible to real life challenges.
Juggling work with my energy variation isn’t always straightforward but Jane adapts each session as needed. And I’ve found every team member are all very good and caring.
I doubted whether going back to physio would do any good- but SP teams are the best of the best and made me so grateful to have access to such excellence. Would highly recommend."

"I was diagnosed with MS twenty years ago. Early on, I was advised 'physiotherapy will really help you'. Luckily, SP Therapy Services came to my rescue. They have never let me down, it has been easy to book appointments, and the quality of the sessions is excellent. Speaking to a professional who understands the condition, assess my needs, and comes up with a treatment plan for each appointment is priceless. Many, many thanks to Jane R, and the rest of the team."

Her passion for raising awareness and improving services for those affected by brain injury shines through in everything she does.
