Acquired Brain Injury Physiotherapy

Acquired Brain Injury Physiotherapy at Home

Whether a brain injury happened suddenly- a fall, a road traffic collision, a hypoxic event, or developed through illness or infection, it can affect movement, balance, coordination and stamina in ways that are unique to you. I provide specialist physiotherapy at home for adults with acquired brain injury (ABI) across Maidstone, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks, Tunbridge Wells and the surrounding villages, working alongside the rest of your care and support network.

My focus includes gait and balance re-education, upper limb rehabilitation, managing tone and spasticity, coordination and functional retraining for daily tasks- all adapted around however cognitive or communication changes affect a session, which I’m used to working with from NHS experience with complex neurological caseloads.

Familiar surroundings matter enormously after a brain injury- a home environment that’s overwhelming or disorientating to recreate in a clinic can be exactly where rehabilitation should happen instead. Home visits mean I can work on real stairs, real transfers and real daily tasks, and involve family members or carers directly, which as part of good coordinated rehabilitation.

Frequently asked questions

Does it matter what caused my brain injury?

Not in terms of whether I can help- I work with brain injury from traumatic causes (falls, collisions), medical causes (hypoxia, infection, stroke-adjacent events) and other origins. The cause matters for understanding your specific presentation, but the rehabilitation principles are similar.

How long after a brain injury can physiotherapy still help?

There’s no fixed cut-off while early rehabilitation often brings the fastest changes, many people continue to make meaningful gains, or maintain hard-won function, years after injury with the right ongoing input.

Will you work with my case manager or rehabilitation team?

Yes, with your consent I’m happy to work as part of a wider team, including case managers, occupational therapists and other professionals involved in your rehabilitation.
