Susan Pattison

Chartered Physiotherapist and Director

LANCASHIRE & GREATER MANCHESTER BASED

I am a highly experienced neurological physiotherapist with a passion for the rehabilitation of patients living with neurological conditions including stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, and cerebral palsy but with a special focus on head injury. The depth and breadth of my experience in adult head injury is from intensive care to community rehabilitation.

It was my awareness of the lack of community services that lead me to set up private practice in 1998 to meet this need. I describe myself as a people magpie and have evolved a team of talented therapists who share my passion and enthusiasm.

I am an enthusiastic supporter of UKABIF and in 2019 was awarded the Chair’s Certificate of Merit.

SP Therapy Services will celebrate its 25th year in 2023, and I am proud of our reputation for clinical excellence.

I strive to actively support my clinical team to be the best they possibly can and to share their clinical expertise by presenting posters at relevant conferences.

Robert Butterworth

Chartered Physiotherapist

LANCASHIRE BASED

I’m a dedicated Neurological Physiotherapist with a passion for empowering patients with the skills to achieve maximum independence and function. I prioritise helping my clients to make informed decisions about their rehabilitation and applying these principles to goals across the functional range, fostering self-reliance and confidence.

With a proven track record, I have helped patients build their exercise tolerance to achieve milestones such as sitting in and driving a powerchair for the first time or participating fully in a football group.

I work with a diverse range of patients in various settings, including their homes, gyms, and schools. This community-focused approach ensures patients can optimise their function in environments that matter most to them.

I have had notable success in building therapeutic relationships and trust with patients who have previously disengaged from therapy. By building strong relationships and trust, I lay the foundation for integrating other members of the multidisciplinary team, ensuring that even the most reluctant patients receive the comprehensive support they need.

In addition, I specialise in developing the skills of support workers through one-to-one training within treatment sessions and group teaching sessions to discuss the theory and practice of an effective exercise programme. This includes detailed guidance on handling techniques to reduce muscle tone and increase joint mobility.

Believing strongly in a team-based approach to physiotherapy and rehabilitation, I ensure that every team member understands the underlying principles of each programme, paving the way for optimal progress for my patients.
