It's 70 years today since the NHS was set up in the UK.
We're incredibly lucky in the UK to have access to free healthcare and whilst there is no denying that the NHS is facing huge challenges right now, perhaps more than ever before, it should also be celebrated and recognised for delivering the fantastic service that it does.
Over the past few years research has consistently shown the benefits and results that can be achieved through intense levels of therapy and rehabilitation.
We have a huge amount of knowledge and skill across the team at Bristol Neurophysio and we are often asked to provide education and training to carers and other professionals.
Nina, one of our specialist neurophysiotherapists, has now started her maternity leave.
Nina is a hugely popular member of the team with both her clients and colleagues and we wish her all the best for the coming weeks and months and look forward to welcoming our youngest team member very soon!
A small group of us from Bristol Neurophysio met with the lovely Jo McMeehan this week.
Jo is a specialist paediatric physiotherapist who has completed further training in Hippotherapy and now offers this service at the Avon Riding Centre.
At Bristol Neurophysio we’re very aware of the rapidly changing role of technology within neuro-rehabilitation and we’re always keen to keep our knowledge and skills right up to date, in order to provide our clients with appropriate advice as well as access to the latest equipment and technology as an adjunct to their therapy programmes, where appropriate
We're delighted at Bristol Neurophysio to welcome Juliet Light to the team. Juliet is a Specialist Paediatric Physiotherapist with more than 30 years of clinical experience working with children in both Canada and UK.
Bristol Neurophysio has grown a lot in the past ten years. We started out with just two neurophysios and we now have a team of 18 with neurophysiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, personal trainers, massage therapists and a psychologist, allowing us to provide a comprehensive and holistic service to our clients.
I have been using Bristol neurophysio for 7 years now since suffering a spinal injury resulting in tetraplegia & spending 4 years in hospital & then a care home before I was able to return home.
During my time back with Kirsty & her team's help I have been able to keep up a solid regime helping keep my tone down & strength up.
With their help I’ve been able to pursue an active lifestyle.
