We provide a specialist, multidisciplinary goal led neurorehabilitation service for people with movement, balance & functional difficulties resulting from damage to their nervous system from either injury or disease. Our particular focus is on home and community rehabilitation, but we are also able to provide rehabilitation within a clinic setting too.
WHO ARE WE?
A Comprehensive Rehabilitation Service Since 2004
“I decided to name our rehabilitation service, Milestones because of the role of physiotherapists in helping patients to solve their problems and achieve their goals and because of the hurdles I had to overcome in sourcing a suitable premises.
Since the service started in 2004 we have always strived to deliver a comprehensive and specialist service by professionals who have the right set of skills to address the complex needs of people who have a need for neurological rehabilitation…”
A FOCUS ON...
Community Rehabilitation, Improving Peoples Day-to-Day Living
We work together to understand and tailor rehabilitation to the person’s needs and aspirations, empowering people to take responsibility for their own health and continue their rehabilitation
We can provide education and training for people, their family, carers and support workers to enable people to apply the skills acquired in therapy in routine daily living activities.
They can then develop their knowledge and skills to live with and to manage their condition.
Signposting people to access appropriate vocational assessment, rehabilitation and ongoing support to find, regain or remain in work and to access other occupational and educational opportunities, developing local support networks.
We always support integration with our NHS colleagues to promote collaborative working, helping people to settle back at home after stays in Hospital and to stay independent in their community, aiming for people to achieve a sense of well-being and make long-term psychological adjustments to altered personal, family and social circumstances.
THE TEAM
An Experienced Team Committed To Rehabilitation
Our team specialise within the field of neurological physiotherapy, providing a wealth of knowledge and experiences from across the NHS, independent healthcare sector and medico-legal field.
We are skilled in using our accurate and extensive knowledge of movement to help people to solve their problems and achieve their goals through targeted rehabilitation.
This is a problem-solving and educational process aimed at reducing the functional and social consequences experienced by someone as a result of an injury or disease, always within the limitations imposed by the underlying damage.
FLEXIBILE APPROACH
A Range of Services for Conditions
We strive to provide a comprehensive service combining our expertise so that the patient achieves optimum results. Our aim is to help you to optimise your capability & self-confidence to achieve your personal goals. Our team follow the psycho-social model of rehabilitation. The idea that through engagement in physical, psychological and social processes, people can learn to live a life which is not dominated by their disability.
Protecting and Optimising Function
We promote collaborative working with other like-minded healthcare professionals to ensure we can provide a comprehensive assessment of a person’s needs to establish an optimal management and treatment plan.
Aqua Therapy
We have access to a large, purpose built, suitably heated aqua therapy pool in West London but can also source other suitable aqua pools closer to a person’s home or leisure centre pools if the water temperature is not critical to their ability to exercise effectively in water.
Postural Care
People who have complex disabilities arising from severe and profound impairment, usually of neurological origin, are at risk of developing a number of complications secondary to their reduced ability to move themselves.
Equipment & Technologies
Our open-minded team keep updated with developments and innovations in neuroscience, neuro-technology and neuro-therapy – helping people to optimise opportunities which will make a difference to them.
Balance and Vestibular Issues
When the central vestibular system and / or inner ear organs are damaged with disease or injury, the brain can no longer rely on them for accurate information about equilibrium and motion, often resulting in dizziness, vertigo, balance problems, and other symptoms.
Functional Strength Training
Targeted task-based exercise to make functioning easier. The body gradually adapts to whatever demands are placed upon it so by practicing targeted exercises it will become functionally stronger.
