A neurological condition can lead to a range of problems, including weakness, significant muscle tightness (spasticity), stiffness, altered sensation, dizziness, pain, difficulty with thinking and memory, fatigue, and reduced coordination or balance. All of these may change the way you move, manage your daily activities, or communicate.
At the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, we offer a range of specialised therapy services for patients with problems arising from conditions or injuries affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. We are here to support you throughout your rehabilitation journey, whether as an inpatient, outpatient, or within your own home (domiciliary therapy).
The neurological therapies team at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery comprises a team of highly specialist HCPC-registered therapists with extensive experience in treating people with neurological and neurosurgical conditions.
We offer a range of therapies to support you with your neurorehabilitation, including:
We can offer inpatient therapy as part of your recovery from any neurological treatment you have as a private patient at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery. Referrals to the inpatient therapy team can be made by your medical and nursing teams. We can then complete a therapy assessment with you and jointly agree on a treatment plan, which will determine the amount and timing of your therapy sessions.
Once you have been discharged from our inpatient therapy team, all our therapists can offer private outpatient care at The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, plus our physiotherapy team can also offer therapy at home within inner London boroughs (zone 1-2).
We can also assess and treat you if you have a neurological diagnosis and have not previously been an inpatient at our hospital.
To be seen as an outpatient, you must have a neurological diagnosis and, ideally, a referral from a GP, embassy, or consultant or written evidence of your neurological condition. If you are unclear, please give us a call, and we will be able to guide you.
