If any of this sounds like you or someone you care about, and you are looking for dedicated help to rebuild your life after a brain injury, you have come to the right place.
Many people who have survived a brain injury in Glasgow don't reach their full potential because they’ve been told:
At Simpson Physiotherapy, we are Neuro and Older Adult Specialist Physiotherapists. We help brain injury survivors make meaningful progress in their walking, balance, arm function, and daily confidence. We want to help you live as active, independent, and fulfilling a life as possible.
We know it can feel overwhelming trying to decide where to turn for specialist neuro-physiotherapy after a brain injury:
The biggest fear many survivors and families face is: What happens if I don’t get the right help?
Most people feel stuck, waiting weeks, months, or years without a clear rehab plan. Getting the right support from a dedicated Specialist Neuro Physiotherapy team is VITAL to getting the absolute most out of your recovery.
We want to ensure we are the right team to help you before you commit to an appointment. Here is how our process works:
Healthcare systems are often stretched and time-pressured, leaving little room for in-depth conversations. But brain injuries are complex, and understanding your specific journey is essential.
We take the time to listen to your goals, concerns, and day-to-day challenges. If we aren’t the best fit for your needs, we will tell you honestly during our initial call.
No two brain injuries affect the body in the exact same way. What works for someone else may not work for you.
Together, we look at:
What recovery you have already achieved.
Your personal goals (e.g., getting back to walking outdoors, returning to work, or managing fatigue).
Physical factors contributing to balance issues, weakness, or pain.
What strategies have worked—and haven’t worked—for you in the past.
We then create a tailored rehabilitation plan designed specifically for your physical capabilities and lifestyle.
Our treatment plan and appointments are built around you and your individual needs and capabilities.
Have you ever been in the situation where the journey to and from an appointment tires you out so much, or causes so much stress and hassle, that you decide not to go? Or you struggle to get out of the house, so going to a clinic appointment is out of the question?
We understand that this is a significant problem faced by many brain injury survivors. That is why we come to you! We provide home visits and video consultations for all of the people we support. This is hugely beneficial in helping you maximise your energy for our sessions and get the most out of therapy.
No more having to rely on friends and family or patient transport to get to your appointments. No having to combat traffic and being at the mercy of roadworks and traffic jams!
Q. What if I need someone with me more than once a week to help me practice my exercises because I won’t be able to do them on my own?
A. No problem, we absolutely provide a support package that works for you to help you get the best out of your therapy. We currently have clients who have 2 to 3 home visits a week, and others who we support through online video consultations.
Q. I don’t live in or near Glasgow, where you provide home visits, will Video Consultations work for me?
A. That is a great question, we will only be able to answer that after we have had a chance to speak with you and possibly do a trial video consultation. What I can say, is that we a using video consultations with several stroke survivors and they are having some terrific results.
Our Home Visit and Video Consultations help you maximise your ability and energy to work on what’s most important to you… living an active and independent life after surviving a stroke.
You only get one chance at living your best life after surviving a brain injury, we want to help you make the most of it!
