Aims and Treatment

- Post op deficits – for example: due to removal of tumours
- Muscular dystrophy
- Guillian-Barre
- Spinal Injuries and post op complex surgery
- General rehabilitation to restore function, balance and mobility
We aim to provide a unique patient centred service. On the initial visit a full neurological assessment will be carried out and patient and physiotherapy goals will be discussed. Further treatment needs will be highlighted and joint decisions can be made re the patients physiotherapy objectives. Each patient will have a problem list and treatment plan devised specifically for their presenting condition and the goals will be discussed throughout the treatment sessions.
A printed copy of these goals are available for all patients.They are also be available for family members if requested once permission has been received. Patient confidentiality will be adhered to at all times and is of the up most importance to Prospect Physio.
Leander primarily uses hands on treatment techniques using approaches such as Bobath principle but is also able to offer adjuncts such as FES (Functional Electrical Stimulation) and the use of air splints, among others. The rehab unit is fully equipped with a neurological treatment plinth and physiotherapy equipment such as gym balls, wobble boards, parallel bars and steps / stairs to work with strength and balance.
Facilities
There is full disabled access including a disabled toilet and ample free parking outside the door. An alarm system situated in the unit will alert people in the house to guarantee patient's safety in an emergency. The practice and physiotherapists are fully insured.
Appointments & Cost
Patients can be referred by consultants and GPs however they are also able to self refer. We correspond regularly with these professionals and they will be kept informed of treatment and outcomes.
Prospect Physio takes self funding patients and we are also developing links with the Primary Care Trust to establish funding for some patients. Prospect Physio is also registered with most private medical insurance companies and therefore patients with cover may be able to claim back treatment costs. However it is advised that patients check their policies first.
Please contact us and we can discuss your funding options.
Treatment sessions are £65 and last approximately 1 hour, depending on patient tolerance levels and need.
