Services
Brain Injury Physiotherapy
Our brain injury physiotherapy focuses on improving movement and independence through posture training, balance improvement, and muscle strengthening techniques. We address mobility challenges using evidence-based interventions tailored to each patient's unique recovery needs. Our home-based approach allows for practical application of rehabilitation exercises in familiar environments, enhancing functional outcomes for individuals recovering from traumatic brain injuries.
Paediatric Neurological Physiotherapy
Specialised paediatric neurological treatment addresses developmental movement patterns in children with acquired brain injuries. Our therapists focus on preventing skeletal complications while promoting normal movement patterns through playful, environment-specific interventions. We work directly in homes and schools to maximise learning opportunities through movement, with particular expertise in managing muscle tone abnormalities and motor coordination issues in developing children.
Community-Based Rehabilitation
Community-based treatment delivers tailored rehabilitation programmes directly in patients' homes and care settings. Our physiotherapists adapt exercises to real-world environments, incorporating activities like adapted cycling and hydrotherapy. This approach enhances patient motivation and ensures practical application of rehabilitation goals, with particular success in re-engaging patients who have previously disengaged from therapy programmes.
Multidisciplinary Support
We provide comprehensive multidisciplinary team support through detailed care plan dissemination and professional training. Our physiotherapists collaborate with support workers and other healthcare professionals, offering specialist guidance on handling techniques and exercise programmes. This coordinated approach ensures consistent care across all team members involved in complex rehabilitation cases.
Progressive Mobility Training
Specialist mobility training helps patients achieve functional milestones through exercise tolerance development and therapeutic relationship building. Our physiotherapists have successfully enabled patients to reach significant milestones like driving powerchairs or participating in sports groups. We focus on both physical rehabilitation and psychological engagement to maximise patient outcomes.

Report
I am the Chair/Co-ordinator of Bolton Neuro Voices, a small local charity. I first contacted SP Therapy Services in 2012 when I was looking for a neuro physiotherapist to help us pilot a new Hydrotheraoy Course for people with long-term neurological conditions. Since then Susan Pattison and her staff have helped us to deliver ten courses to a total of more than 200 people and to facilitate the progress of many on to ongoing Continuation Programmes. Her expertise and willingness to listen and respond to our needs and those of our very varied participants is hugely appreciated and our partnership
