Neurological Rehabilitation (e.g. Multiple Sclerosis or after a stroke)
Neurological Physiotherapy Outpatient Service
A physiotherapy service for people with a neurological condition; e.g. stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, vestibular problems and any condition or injury affecting the brain or spinal cord, resulting in altered movement patterns.
We offer an assessment and treatment programme. Treatment may include exercise and stretches, gait and balance re-education, management of long-term disability, hydrotherapy or a circuit exercise group.
Initial assessment may take up to an hour; subsequent appointments are approximately 45 minutes to an hour, dependent on need.
We expect patients to take an active part in their treatment, and follow agreed exercise programmes independently.
The service is based at Lewisham Hospital in the neuro rehabilitation gym on the ground floor of the blue zone building.
Who can refer?
GPs and consultants and other allied healthcare professionals.
