Specialist neurological physiotherapy delivered online, wherever you are.
Virtual NeuroPhysio allows you to access specialist neurological physiotherapy through secure video appointments from home. Online sessions can be useful if travelling is difficult, if you live outside our usual clinic or community areas, or if you need ongoing specialist input between face-to-face appointments. They can also help maintain continuity for people living overseas or returning home after rehabilitation in the UK. Not every aspect of neurological physiotherapy can be delivered remotely, but many areas of exercise, movement practice, education and rehabilitation planning can be supported effectively online where appropriate.
During a virtual session, your neuro physiotherapist can observe movement, discuss current difficulties and guide rehabilitation in real time. Depending on your needs, this may include reviewing walking or mobility, progressing exercise programmes, practising balance or coordination tasks, working on arm and hand movement, managing fatigue or activity levels, and adapting rehabilitation to your home environment. We can also use virtual appointments to review progress, troubleshoot difficulties and help you understand how and when to progress your programme.
Virtual appointments may be suitable for people recovering from stroke, brain injury or other neurological injury, as well as those living with conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis or Functional Neurological Disorder. They can be particularly useful for people who live further away or overseas, those who find travel difficult because of mobility or fatigue, existing clients needing follow-up between in-person appointments, and families or local therapists who need specialist rehabilitation guidance.
Suitability depends on what you need help with. If hands-on assessment, specialist equipment or more detailed physical testing is required, we may recommend an in-person appointment instead.
Your physiotherapist will begin by understanding your current symptoms, function and rehabilitation priorities. We often request information prior to the appointment, and when useful, may send additional questionnaires to ensure time online is efficient. During the appointment, we can observe relevant movements and guide exercises or functional tasks, then agree a clear plan for what to practise between sessions. Follow-up appointments can be used to monitor progress and adjust the programme as your needs change.
Research suggests that telerehabilitation can produce similar outcomes to in-person physiotherapy for many neurological conditions, particularly when focused on exercise-based rehabilitation.
Yes. Physiotherapists can observe posture, walking patterns, strength, balance, and coordination using video assessment and guided movement tests.
No. Most exercises can be performed with minimal equipment such as a chair, resistance band, or bodyweight exercises. We use a variety of online platforms for the consultation, all of which are free to use.
Many stroke survivors benefit from remote rehabilitation, particularly for exercise programmes that support recovery and functional independence. We will discuss your difficulties and aims prior to advising what can be achieved virtually.
The frequency of sessions depends on your goals and stage of rehabilitation. Many clients begin with weekly or fortnightly appointments.
If you would like specialist neurological physiotherapy but cannot easily attend one of our clinics or access home visits, a virtual appointment may provide a practical alternative. Contact us to discuss what you need help with and whether online rehabilitation is likely to be appropriate.
