Welcome back yet again to the ThreeSpires Physiotherapy blog! In this blog we will continue looking in some detail at how oru physiotherapy service is able to help patients who have had a stroke in Walsall and areas such as Pelsall, Bloxwich, Rushall and Walsall Wood.

Anyone who has had a stroke or knows someone who has suffered will be understand all too well how life changing and disabling a stroke can be. Our physiotherapists see many patients in Walsall that prior to having a stroke were fit and independent people, however after their stroke they often have great difficulty moving one side of their body, walking and living independently. Accessing high quality and regular physiotherapy is vital to helping them gain as much function and recovery as is possible.

Often patients who have had a stroke will have great difficulty with mobilising and getting out of the house to a physiotherapy clinic. This is where our home visit physiotherapy service really makes a difference. One of our experienced neurological physiotherapists can visit these patients at home in Walsall and remove the need for them to get out and spend a lot of time getting to a physiotherapy clinic. The physiotherapist is also able to see the patient at home and devised an exercise and management programme that they can conduct at home. Our chartered physiotherapists are all experienced with helping patients recover from a stroke and offer a physio servcie at home in Walsall, Rushall, Bloxwich, Pelsall and Walsall Wood to name but a few of the areas that they visit. Often we work alongside and in conjunction with NHS physiotherapists to maximise the possible recovery for patients and our physiotherapists are able to liaise directly with NHS staff in order to reduce the burden on families. Our physiotherapists are able to help improve movement and strength in whichever area has been affected by the stroke. For example it could be that hand movement is the major concern in which case they will be able to work on exercises and strengthening activities designed to improve movement, co-ordination and function of the hand.
