FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT WILL MY ASSESSMENT CONSIST OF AND HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

You or your representative will be asked some questions about your neurological condition and how it may cause you any difficulty with your movement and functional ability. You will also be asked some questions about your general health and a full medication history will also be required.

Following this your movement/function will be assessed via observation, handling of your limbs. The assessment will be taking into account aspects such as muscle tone, strength, co-ordination, balance and joint range of movement. This means that you may be required to remove some items of clothing, so please come suitably dressed (loose fitting clothes or shorts and sleeveless tops are ideal)

An assessment could take up to 1.5 hours but on average most assessments are complete within 1 hour.

WILL I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO THE ASSESSMENT?

Please also bring any existing splints or existing exercise programmes that have been provided.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Please wear loose fitting clothing where possible. Shorts and sleeveless tops are ideal or wear layers that can be removed if required. Please wear comfortable/sensible footwear.

Testimonials

What Our Clients Say

“Wow where do I start. I met Vicki after being in hospital for a few months. I was still in a powered wheelchair with so much determination to walk again but didn’t know where to start.

Vicki from Tees Neurophysiotherapy has definitely been a big part of my rehabilitation. I’m now walking and even passed my driving test so I have some independence back.

Vicki is extremely talented at what she does. I always feel amazing when I’ve been to Physio, she knows exactly what I need to work on. I was told that I’d never be able to move from the neck down but with the support and knowledge from Tees Neuro Physiotherapy we have proved this to be wrong. I am always welcomed with a smile it’s a wonderful place to visit everyone there is amazing”

"Victoria and her team are amazing!! Their service isn't a 'one size fits all approach' They have a holistic approach to treatment. Understanding that no two days are the same for a patient with complex needs. They provide a service that is tailored to suit the clients needs and goals. Thinking outside the box. Nothing is too much for them and they're up for any challenge.

A hard working dedicated bunch of clinicians going above and beyond- I don't know what our family would do if we didn't have them!!!"

Haz

Client Parent

I'm not sure how to put into words what Tees Neuro Physiotherapy have done for our family. My dad started the clinic 9 months ago, after having a life changing brain haemorrhage, it felt like everything had been taken away from us with the future unknown. Starting with the clinic gave us hope for a brighter future. After an amazing 9 months with the most dedicated health professionals I have ever met, Vicky, Rosie and Claire, now have my dad able to use majority function in his hand, he can walk, he now has his driving licence back, but most of all he has his life back and this is thanks to this amazing team.

"It is more than a job to these amazing people, they truly care passionately about their patients. On my dad's darkest days, they were there with support and encouragement that together, they could achieve the goals that were set out. My dad is still attending the clinic and the team have now formed part of our network and we will forever be grateful.

The facilities and the team are second to none and wouldn't look further if you have a family member or friend who requires neurological physiotherapy."
