About Us

Sally, a neuro-physiotherapist, decided to name her purpose built clinic Milestones because of the role of physiotherapists in helping patients to solve their problems and achieve their goals and because of the hurdles she had to overcome in finding, securing and then building the property.

Since the Clinic opened in 2004 Milestones has 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.
