Neurological rehabilitation
Support for people living with stroke, ABI, TBI, spinal cord injury, Parkinsonism, MS and other neurological conditions affecting mobility, balance, endurance and function.
Clinical focus areas
Physiotherapy linked to function, safety and practical goals
Tandem Physio considers referrals where physiotherapy input needs to be linked to function, safety, mobility, support routines, clinical risk and practical goals.
Clinical focus areas
These areas are considered after suitability, consent, funding pathway and availability are clarified.
Progressive neurological conditions
Monitoring and therapy planning for changing function, fatigue, respiratory considerations, mobility decline, equipment progression and care-team education.
Complex disability support
Physiotherapy input for people with high support needs where positioning, routines, transfers, equipment, support-worker education and risk management need to be considered together.
Practical needs
What may be reviewed
A focused view of common therapy priorities for mobile neurological and complex disability referrals.
Mobility, transfers and falls risk
Assessment and therapy for walking, transfer safety, mobility aids, access barriers, falls risk and confidence with movement.
Respiratory and fatigue-related support
Support for pacing, airway clearance education, cough assist coordination, respiratory monitoring and escalation planning where clinically appropriate.
Carer and support-worker training
Practical education to help carers and support workers assist with mobility, exercise routines, transfers, positioning and risk awareness.
Function-linked documentation
Reports and recommendations may be provided where clinically appropriate, linking impairments, function, risk, goals and therapy recommendations.
Equipment-related input
Input may include mobility aids, access barriers, positioning, standing, transfer setup and practical progression where clinically appropriate.
Care-team guidance
Communication with relevant family members, coordinators, case managers and treating teams can occur when consent is in place.
