About Kaye
Kaye is a Specialist Neuro Physiotherapist who supports people living with neurological conditions to improve movement, balance, confidence and independence. She works with people after stroke, with Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury and other neurological conditions, as well as older adults experiencing falls, reduced mobility or loss of confidence after illness or hospitalisation.
She works with adults whose movement, balance or independence has been affected by a neurological condition, diagnosis or significant change in confidence. Kaye understands that neurological rehabilitation is rarely a straight line. There may be recognised stages and useful patterns, but every person’s experience, goals and rate of progress are different.
Her approach is centred on helping people feel safe, understood and well supported while working towards meaningful goals. For one person that may mean walking more confidently indoors. For another it may mean getting up from a chair more easily, managing stairs, rebuilding confidence after a fall or returning to swimming or exercise. Kaye takes the time to understand the whole picture and to build a rehabilitation plan around the person, not just the diagnosis.
She supports people who are newly diagnosed and trying to understand what lies ahead, as well as those who have been living with a condition for many years and want to maintain or improve their current level of function. She also works with family members and carers where this is helpful, recognising that neurological rehabilitation often works best when the wider support system feels informed and involved.
Kaye is also experienced in aquatic therapy and may incorporate this into treatment where appropriate.
How Kaye can help
Kaye supports people with a wide range of neurological and mobility-related difficulties. Neurological physiotherapy is commonly used to help people after stroke, with Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, brain injury and other long-term neurological conditions affecting movement, balance and independence.
She is particularly well placed to support people experiencing reduced mobility, weakness, altered coordination, falls, fear of falling, fatigue, stiffness, spasticity and reduced confidence with walking, stairs, transfers or day-to-day activities. Her work also suits older adults whose mobility or confidence has declined following illness, deconditioning or a hospital stay.
Typical goals may include walking more safely and confidently, improving balance and coordination, managing stairs more easily, getting in and out of bed, chairs or the car with less effort, reducing falls or fear of falling, managing fatigue more effectively and returning to exercise, swimming or other meaningful activities.
How Kaye works
Kaye’s work is grounded in specialist neurological physiotherapy, with treatment tailored to the individual’s needs, abilities and goals. She begins by understanding how movement, balance, strength, function and confidence are currently being affected, then shapes rehabilitation around what matters most to the person.
Treatment may include gait re-education, balance work, transfer practice, strength and mobility work, fatigue management, movement retraining and tailored functional rehabilitation. She understands that progress is not only physical. Many people also need reassurance, clear explanation and support to rebuild trust in their body as well as strength.
Her approach is realistic, calm and encouraging, helping people work at the right pace for them. Some may benefit from regular sessions over a block of time, while others may need wider review intervals with a home programme and clear guidance between appointments. Where appropriate, aquatic therapy may also form part of the rehabilitation process.
What to expect
At your first appointment, Kaye will take time to understand your current difficulties, any diagnosis or medical input you have already had and what you would most like help with. She will assess how you are moving, how you are managing day to day and what may be contributing to difficulties with balance, mobility, fatigue, confidence or function.
From there, she will talk you through her findings and agree a plan with you. This may include guided movement practice, rehabilitation exercises, falls advice, pacing strategies, functional work or a home programme to support progress between sessions.
Sessions are always tailored to the individual. Family members or carers can be involved where this is helpful and with your consent. Kaye’s aim is to help you feel safe, informed and supported while making progress that is realistic and meaningful.
