Chartered Physiotherapist Specialising in Neurology
Serving Blackburn and East Lancashire
Robert Butterworth is a community-based physiotherapist specialising in neurology supporting clients in Blackburn and surrounding areas, including Darwen, Accrington, Clitheroe, Great Harwood, and Rishton. Known for his dynamic, patient-led approach, Rob empowers people with neurological conditions to build independence, achieve meaningful goals, and regain confidence in everyday life.
With a strong background in home-based and community rehabilitation, Rob helps clients meet their full potential — whether that’s regaining the ability to drive a powerchair, rejoining a local football group, or simply mastering the tasks that matter most in their daily lives. He works across various environments including homes, schools, and gyms to ensure therapy is functional, accessible, and life-enhancing.
Rob is particularly skilled in engaging clients who have previously disengaged from therapy. By building trust and strong therapeutic relationships, he creates a foundation where clients feel safe, understood, and motivated to engage. He also plays a key role in upskilling support workers, offering one-to-one and group training on therapeutic exercise, handling techniques, and tone management.
