His approach
Why neuro physiotherapy?
Recovering from a stroke or living with Parkinson’s is not the same as treating a sports injury. Neurological rehabilitation draws on neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to adapt and form new connections.
Gait re-education
Helping the brain and body coordinate walking patterns again.
Cueing strategies
Using cues to help people with Parkinson’s overcome ‘freezing’ when they walk.
Spasticity management
Techniques to ease stiff muscles and improve movement.
In the UK, Rishee focuses on neurological conditions and uses evidence-based techniques such as these. He has a special interest in the human movement system: how the brain, nerves, muscles and joints work together to produce movement.
The home visit philosophy
Recovery in your own home
Rishee is a strong advocate of home-based recovery. It removes the stress of travel and allows for more practical, functional therapy.
‘I believe the best place to learn how to walk is in your own hallway. My goal is to make you safe and independent in your own environment.’Rishee Patel
