Referrals have risen by 22%, creating a waiting list. With 70% of people with MS experiencing mobility challenges and limited access to ongoing therapy, many with MS, Parkinson’s and Stroke rely on physiotherapy to manage gait, balance, mobility, strength and fatigue. Few specialist community services and limited NHS provision mean demand now exceeds our capacity, requiring additional sessions for timely, effective support.
We will increase capacity by adding more specialist sessions, reducing waiting times and ensuring people with MS, Parkinson’s and Stroke receive timely, consistent support. By expanding our service, we can deliver targeted therapy that improves mobility, balance and strength, helping people manage symptoms effectively and maintain independence.
