How Happy Steps Can Help You, Right at Home:

Neurological conditions can impact movement, strength, balance, coordination, sensation, and everyday functions. Our neurological physiotherapists conduct thorough assessments to diagnose and assess your specific challenges and tailor a targeted treatment plan to your unique needs and goals. We utilise evidence-based techniques to:

  • Improve Mobility & Function: We focus on rebuilding strength, retraining movement patterns, and helping you regain independence in daily activities like walking, dressing, and transfers.
  • Enhance Balance & Coordination: We address balance difficulties and reduce the risk of falls through targeted exercises and therapies.
  • Reduce Spasticity & Stiffness: We use techniques like stretching, positioning, and soft tissue and joint mobilisation to reduce muscle tightness and improve flexibility.
  • Promote Neuroplasticity: We utilise intensive, repetitive movement strategies to stimulate the brain’s ability to “rewire” itself and relearn lost functions.
  • Manage Symptoms: We help manage symptoms like pain, fatigue, and sensory changes to improve your comfort and well-being.
  • Prevent Complications: We work proactively to prevent secondary health issues like pressure sores, joint stiffness, and chest infections.
  • Provide Gait Retraining: We help you relearn how to walk effectively and safely, often incorporating assistive devices as needed.
