Although it has been acknowledged that the specialist rehabilitation services required to manage the aforementioned conditions can be equally and effectively provided in Hospital, realistically access to these services remains limited once a patient is medically fit to go home.
Many patients, having been introduced to the benefit of neurorehabilitation on the NHS would like to continue their rehabilitation but either have to wait weeks for an outpatient appointment and / or accept that they will only receive a specific number of sessions due to the demands on the NHS.
Milestones is able to offer patients ready access to specialist, multidisciplinary neurorehabilitation within a purpose built clinic, in their home and / or the community.

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.
