Specialised Physiotherapy for Brain Injury
NeuroPhysio Scotland offers specialist brain injury physiotherapy services to help restore movement and function.
Any number of symptoms can arise after brain injury. Thorough assessment, discussion about present and future challenges, and access to amazing rehab technology help us design your optimal treatment plan.
What is a brain injury?
Brain injuries are caused by serious blows to the head, often as a result of a fall or motor accident. (We don’t include congenital, degenerative or hereditary brain conditions in this category.)
Brain injury may also be called: head injury, traumatic brain injury (TBI), traumatic head injury, severe brain injury.
Common challenges after a brain injury
Brain injuries can be extremely complex and people often have a large range of symptoms that can be physical, cognitive and emotional. Memory, concentration or motivation may be affected or there may be significant physical signs such as weakness, muscle spasm, tightness, loss of sensation or reduced coordination, affecting any part of the body.
How we can help
We’ll focus on helping maximise the physical aspect of your recovery, and bring an understanding of the common emotional and cognitive challenges too.
Treatment normally uses exercises to target weak areas, stretches to release tight muscles and hands-on physio to help you re-learn better ways of moving, all with the goal of making you more physically independent and working towards the goals that matter most to you. We’ll find the right environment for your treatment and give the additional materials to support optimal management when we’re not there.

Rehabilitation technology
If you have a mobility problem such as foot drop or difficulty using your hand or arm, there might be some Rehabilitation Technology that could help.
We can also advise on sleep systems to improve comfort and pressure care, resting splints to maintain range of movement, and wheelchair options to promote good posture.

Testimonials
What They Say
I have been the fortunate recipient of expert and professional physiotherapy from Ali and Katy following a stroke. They are professional and compassionate, very expert and great fun; their expertise and appointments have been both necessary and a delight. I would recommend this firm very highly and without reserve, and their staff are deserving of the highest praise.
Kenneth Walker
I’ve been working with Kenny for around five years, initially for surgical rehabilitation and then for ongoing mild cerebral palsy. He has been so encouraging and supportive throughout. He regularly changes my programme to keep me motivated and always pushes me to be my physical and functional best. I’ve seen huge changes since we started working together!
Kathleen McNish
Bob was in a very poor condition when Catriona came to see us, and he is making very good progress. Catriona is always positive and in just a few weeks has made a big difference in Bob’s life, and we can’t thank her enough for all her help.
Christine Chrystal
This company has helped me regain much more of my balance and core strength lost in the first lockdown. Through weekly visits, with plenty of exercises to do daily in between, I have come a long way to regaining core strength and balance. Thank you to a wonderful specialist physiotherapist that makes each visit to give me more confidence.
Bernadette Hendry
Tracey is always pleasant, considerate, and obviously a dedicated first-class therapist. She has done a great deal for my wife’s condition (disability and tremor following a stroke), not least for her morale. She gives great encouragement. Her visits have become friendly occasions for my wife, who frequently asks when Tracey is coming back.
Tom Brown
