Emma Hayden is our Communications Coordinator and usually the first person you will speak to at SP Therapy Services. In this article, she explains what you can expect from home-based neurological physiotherapy and how our team supports your recovery.
Understanding Home-Based Neurological Physiotherapy
Home-based neurological physiotherapy offers an alternative to outpatient rehabilitation, bringing expert treatment directly to your doorstep. At SP Therapy Services, our Chartered Physiotherapists specialise in treating neurological conditions across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, South and West Yorkshire. Consequently, you can access personalised rehabilitation in the environment that matters most – your own home.
What Conditions Benefit from Home-Based Neurological Physio?
Our home-based neurological physiotherapy services support individuals with a wide range of conditions, including:
-
Stroke recovery
-
Multiple sclerosis
-
Parkinson’s disease
-
Traumatic brain injury
-
Spinal cord injuries
-
Peripheral neuropathy
-
Cerebral palsy
-
Motor neurone disease
Because these conditions often affect movement, coordination, and independence, home-based sessions can feel easier to access and more motivating to continue.
What Happens During a Home-Based Neuro Physio Session?
Home-based Neuro Physio – Initial Assessment Session (1 Hour 30 Minutes)
Our detailed assessments are comprehensive and thorough. During this extended session, your physiotherapist will:
-
Take a detailed medical history and discuss your current symptoms
-
Complete a physical assessment of your movement patterns, strength, balance, and coordination
-
Evaluate your home environment for safety and accessibility
-
Discuss your personal goals and priorities
-
Develop a tailored treatment plan based on evidence-based practices
-
Provide initial advice on exercises and equipment needs
This thorough start means you begin your journey with a clear and personalised plan.
Home-Based Neuro Physio – Follow-Up & Subsequent Treatment Sessions (1 Hour)
Follow-up sessions usually last one hour. They focus on progression and refinement of your treatment plan. Each session may include:
-
A review of your progress since the last visit
-
Hands-on treatment techniques
-
Therapeutic exercises and functional training
-
Education about your condition and self-management strategies
-
Updates to your home exercise programme
-
Equipment assessment and recommendations
We also set aside a short amount of time for note writing, because accurate records are essential for continuity of care.
