Neuro Outpatient Physiotherapy

The Neuro Outpatient Physiotherapy service can support people who are over the age of 16 and have a neurological diagnosis. Physiotherapy will support you to work towards specific and realistic goals, to live as independently and actively as possible. Our team of physiotherapists will offer assessment and treatment of impairments in movement, strength, balance, co-ordination and muscle tone, as well as education, advice and signposting.

Those living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) and Motor Neuron Disease (MND) from all Ayrshire Localities will be referred to the North Ayrshire Neuro Outpatient Team based at Douglas Grant Rehab Centre (Ayrshire Central Hospital), whereas patients with other neurological conditions may be seen by their local Neuro Outpatient Team.
