As more and more children with Cerebral Palsy in the UK are undergoing Selective Dorsal Rhizotomy (SDR) surgery we are very aware of the ever-increasing need for high quality, specialist rehabilitation post-operatively.
We are very lucky at Bristol Neurophysio to have Kat Clarke on the team, who has come straight from a specialist role at the Bristol Children's Hospital, where she was a Team Leader for their SDR service. Kat will now be heading up this service for Bristol Neurophysio alongside our other specialist paediatric physiotherapists.
Research shows that children undergoing this procedure generally do better with more intensive levels of therapy post op but we are very aware that the financial implications of this on a family can be huge. In response to this we are launching a service this summer which will be led by specialist paediatric physiotherapists but will utilise the skills of a team of specially trained personal trainers in order to make the overall cost of the service more affordable to our clients.
If you are interested in finding out more or would like to make a referral to this service then please don't hesitate to contact us at info@bristolneurophysio.co.uk
