Motor Neurone Disease Physiotherapy Chichester

Conditions

Motor Neurone Disease

Motor Neurone Disease (MND) affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, which are responsible for controlling muscle movements.

As the disease progresses, muscles gradually weaken, stiffen, and waste away, leading to difficulties with movement. The impact of MND varies among individuals, with symptoms progressing at different rates. Although there is no cure and the disease continues to progress, physiotherapy and other support services can help improve the individual’s quality of life.

Physiotherapy can assist with carefully managed exercises, maintaining joint range of motion, proper positioning, walking adaptations, and devices to support daily activities.

"Incredible team, I’ve been going to LV for 6/7 months now, they’ve made me achieve my goals and beyond after suffering a stroke I lost all movement in my left side. Thanks to roberto and other team members I’m walking unaided and now focusing on my hand and arm. Every week I discover a new ability that I never thought I’d ever be able to do again. I’ll forever be thankful to LV and the team for giving me my life back."

"LV rehab has been a warm and welcoming place to attend righ from the word go. Fresh out of hospital after a stroke I was left facing a very different looking world but Vicky and her team couldn't have been more accomodating and friendly. From session 1 I knew I had might the right choice for my recovery."

Vicky Knight, who treats me is inspiring, encouraging and has improved my balance and core strength, she gives me the confidence to try new things to help me with my disability.
