SDR Rehabilitation Programme
As more and more children with Cerebral Palsy in the UK are undergoing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery we are very aware of the ever-increasing need for high quality, specialist rehabilitation post-operatively.

I was reminded again yesterday how lucky I am to work with such a fantastic team of people who bring so much skill, experience and passion to Bristol Neurophysio, which enables us to make such a positive difference to the individuals we work with and makes going to work each day a real pleasure.
A big thank you goes out to Matt Kinal, a specialist in pain science, who delivered a fantastic lecture last night to the team at Bristol Neurophysio on the role of the brain in chronic pain and how we, as therapists, can work with clients to reduce this.
At Bristol Neurophysio we recognise the important role that Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) plays for a lot of our clients in their rehab and in improving their function but we also recognise what a big financial commitment it can be to buy an FES unit, especially when an individual isn't sure to begin with how much benefi

At Bristol Neurophysio the clients we see frequently experience pain for a variety of reasons. At times these clients may have very severe pain, which hasn't responded to traditional treatment approaches and this can be hugely debilitating for the individual concerned.
In response to an increased demand recently for specialist paediatric physiotherapy we are delighted that one of our therapists, Kat Clarke, will be increasing her hours with the team from next month.
Kat is a fantastic therapist with extensive experience of working with children with a large range of conditions.
We're very sad to be saying goodbye to a much-loved member of the team, Sheila Watters, who is retiring this month.
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.
