About PhysioNeuroFit - Neurophysiotherapists

Physiotherapy input is provided within your own home. Other locations such as leisure centres, gyms and swimming pools can also be arranged. We cover Glasgow and surrounding areas. Please contact us if you live further afield as we may be able to accommodate though travelling expenses may be incurred. We provide physiotherapy treatment for any adult presenting with problems relating to a Neurological condition.
Input will be tailored to your own individual needs. It may simply be a one-off appointment for advice and exercises. Or we can provide more regular input to meet your specific rehabilitation needs. We can also give assistance to set up gym and swimming programmes. Hydrotherapy is an excellent way to exercise in a low impact environment.
