• Brain Injury

• Brain Tumours

• Cerebral Palsy (adults)

• Functional Neurological Symptoms

• General mobility problems

• Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Shoulder pain is very common after stroke and other neurological conditions. Research shows it can negatively affect engagement in rehabiltation, daily activities, sleep and can reduce quality of life.

We are experts in the differential diagnosis and management of hemiplegic and neurological shoulder pain.

We work with neurologists, stroke physicians and GPs to give you the best possible treatment.

Our expertise include:

• Recognising your shoulder pain

• Advanced assessments and establishing the cause of your shoulder pain

• Recommendation for any required imaging including Xray, Ultrasound and MRI

• Recommendations for oral and topical pain relief

• Recommendation for injection therapies to help pain and movement including steroid, hydrodilatation and botulinum toxin

• Physiotherapy treatment programmes including positioning, stretching, strengthening, orthoses and electrical stimulation

Spasticity is increased muscle stiffness and involuntary muscle activity caused by damage to the brain or spinal cord. It is a common consequence of stroke, MS, traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions. When not adequately managed, spasticity can lead to permanent muscle and joint contractures, chronic pain, and significant difficulties with daily activities, mobility and personal care.

Effective spasticity management requires specialist assessment to identify the contributing factors and a tailored treatment plan. We provide advanced practitioner level assessment and rehabilitation, working collaboratively with neurologists, neurorehabilitation consultants and GPs. Where appropriate we make recommendations on medical management including oral medications and botulinum toxin injections, working alongside prescribing clinicians to ensure coordinated care.

Independent specialist second opinion consultations for patients and clinicians including:

• Dizziness, vertigo and balance disorders

• Vestibular rehabilitation

• Neurological assessment and rehabilitation

• Hemiplegic and neurological shoulder pain

• Spasticity management

Available in clinic, via home visit and online. A written report can be provided following second opinion consultation.

We welcomes enquiries from both patients seeking clarity on their diagnosis or management, and from clinicians seeking a specialist peer review of a complex case.
