Neurological Rehabilitation · Axium Physiotherapy and Rehab
Recovery after a stroke or a Parkinson's diagnosis is rarely a straight line. A realistic plan helps more than a rushed one.
Axium's neurological rehabilitation service works with people recovering from stroke and living with Parkinson's, building a structured programme around realistic goals rather than a generic exercise sheet. Researching this for a parent or partner from a distance is common, this page is written with that in mind.

In short
Neurological rehabilitation at Axium covers physiotherapy for stroke recovery and Parkinson's disease, focused on movement, balance, strength and independence in daily activity. Sessions are built around a written, structured home programme with scheduled clinician follow-up, not a one-off consultation.
Referred by a doctor, or coming directly, both are fine, an assessment does not require a referral.
Two presentations make up most of the neuro rehab caseload.
Stroke recovery
Physiotherapy after a stroke works on regaining movement, balance and function on the affected side, and on relearning daily tasks safely. Most measurable recovery tends to happen in the first three to six months, but meaningful gains in strength, balance and confidence continue to be possible well beyond that window with continued, structured input, recovery is not a race against a single deadline.
Parkinson's disease
Physiotherapy for Parkinson's focuses on maintaining movement, balance and gait quality over time, since Parkinson's is a progressive condition rather than one with a single recovery window. A structured, ongoing programme aims to maintain independence and reduce fall risk, not to reverse the condition, no provider can honestly promise that.
Recovery timelines are genuinely different for every person. An assessment gives a realistic picture for your specific situation.
A structured programme, with a clinician following up.
A stroke telerehabilitation app trial found a genuine improvement in trunk control among participants, but also recorded low adherence to the app itself as a real limiting factor, people did not consistently use it. The lesson Axium takes from this is that software is convenience, not the programme itself, the actual intervention is a written plan built around a specific person's goals, with a clinician checking in on progress, not a downloaded app left to run on its own.

A structured plan, reviewed and adjusted as recovery continues.
Assessment looks at current movement, balance and function, and sets realistic goals with the patient and family together, not a generic target copied from a textbook. Family members researching remotely are welcome to join the first assessment by phone or in person if travel allows. Because stroke recovery continues well beyond the first few months, and Parkinson's is progressive rather than something to "finish" treating, the plan is reviewed and adjusted at scheduled follow-ups rather than closing at a fixed end point.

For referring clinicians
Sending a patient our way
If you are a GP, neurologist or hospital discharge team considering a referral, call the clinic directly, Dr. Deepika and Dr. Vinayak see every referred patient personally, there is no intake queue or junior-staff handoff.
My mother had her stroke two years ago. Is it too late for physiotherapy to help?
No. The fastest recovery usually happens in the first few months, but continued physiotherapy can still improve strength, balance and confidence well beyond that, an assessment is the only way to know what is realistic for her specifically.
Can I book an assessment on behalf of a parent who lives with me but cannot easily travel?
Call the clinic directly to discuss your father or mother's situation, including whether travel to the clinic is realistic. We can talk through what is possible.
Does Parkinson's physiotherapy get worse as the condition progresses, or does it stop helping?
Physiotherapy's role usually changes rather than stops, early on it often focuses on building strength and movement quality, later it shifts toward maintaining function, balance and reducing fall risk. It stays worth reviewing regularly, not something to start once and never revisit.
Do you need copies of hospital discharge paperwork?
Bringing any discharge summary, scan reports or medication list you have is genuinely useful, but do not delay booking an assessment while you track paperwork down, bring what you have.
