What are the effects of brain injuries?

The brain is a highly complex structure that is responsible for a wide range of functions within the body including:

  • Behaviour
  • Cognition
  • Memory
  • Movement

The area and size of damage to the brain will affect which functions are affected.

What are the physical effects of brain injury?

The physical symptoms of brain injury include:

  • Weakness, paralysis, spasticity, stiffness, changes in sensation. This may result in balance problems and difficulty walking or loss of arm function.
  • Foot drop due to weakness in the muscles that lift the foot. This can lead to trips and falls.
  • Fatigue
  • Pain
  • Ataxia (reduced co-ordination)
  • Epilepsy
  • Speech difficulties

How can physiotherapy help with the effects of brain injury?

Physiotherapy can help with brain injury rehabilitation in the following ways:

  • Exercises to build strength and stamina and to improve range of movement at stiff joints.
  • Hands on therapy to encourage normal patterns of movement. This is based on the ‘Bobath Concept’.
  • Balance Exercises.
  • Walking re-education.
  • Advice on spasticity management
  • Treatment of foot-drop, for example advice on splints or muscle stimulation.
  • Advice on walking aids or equipment.

We will work with you to help set goals and achieve your full potential.

Testimonials

They are thorough, efficient, diligent and reliable. They initiate contact with me to ensure the quality of the service they are providing and satisfaction with their service.
Valerie SuffolkIndependent Case Manager
I started using NTRehab in June 2017 and I was assigned to a physiotherapist, Joanne, who has been incredible towards helping me achieve my goals. I had a Stroke which left me with a foot drop on the left side and using Jo twice a week I have regained a lot of strength and confidence and we are still working hard together to achieve my goals.
Mrs VPWolverhampton
My mom felt very comfortable receiving treatment from Maria. As Mom is 93 and arthritic she welcomed the relief to her neck. Maria chatted to her and gave good ongoing exercise advice

AH/SHWest Midlands
Just wanted to drop you a quick line to say how impressed I am with Abhi. All your physio's are great & work brilliantly with our residents but for me Abhi has that special something, he comes across as extremely competent, knowledgeable & the residents adore him. I have great confidence in him, he seems to really understand the residents needs & nothing is ever too much trouble for him. I know that if I'm concerned about anyone he will listen to me & will find a way in which to help. I always believe in credit where its due & hope its helpful to receive feedback from the likes of me who use your service. Thank you to you & your great team of physio's, they really do improve the well-being of our residents & for that I'm very grateful.
TrudiManager at Highwell House
Neuro Therapy is top of the list of needs after a stroke as it is essential to help body and mind to recover. We were lucky to find Jane, (NT Rehab UK Ltd) who, as a qualified Neuro Therapist, always has time to explain the reasons behind the exercises she uses, and the positive attitude required to gain full advantage. This she does with a patient, friendly, cheerful approach backed by a wealth of experience. She also keeps us up to date with the latest available aids and changes in therapeutic thinking. Every stroke victim needs a ‘Jane’.
Graham AlkinsSutton Coldfield
When my husband had a stroke four years ago, we did not know where to go for help. We were very lucky indeed to find NT Rehab (UK) Ltd. They have been supportive and helpful, always finding new ways to adapt the physio to my husband's needs. They are punctual, kind and friendly and have continued to give us information and advice. We are so very grateful for all the hard work they do for us.
Mrs AWalmley
Fantastic Physio (Michelle), a pleasure to be around, always professional, goes above and beyond, very encouraging and makes me feel anything is possible.
John DawsonWarwick
Email from Tanya (Nurse related to client family). Just a final email on behalf of Sue (Mother of client) to once again say thank you for all your input with John. If it wasn’t for your expertise and professionalism, we would not be any further forward with John.
