Our neurological physiotherapy team treat a wide range of conditions.
In 2016, Steve’s life changed dramatically when surgery to treat a spinal cord tumour resulted in a T9-10 spinal cord injury, leaving him unable to control his lower body and legs (paraplegic). Steve has been a long-term patient of ours, and it has been a privilege to support him on his rehabilitation journey. Below, Steve shares his own account of his experiences and the role neuro physiotherapy has played in his life.
“My name is Stephen Miller. I am 68 years old.
The year is 2016. The UK holds a referendum on leaving the EU. The last Land Rover Defender rolls off the production line after 68 years in production. Andy Murray wins Wimbledon for the second time. And I end up as a paraplegic due to a spinal tumour. Quite a memorable year!
I was in hospital for about four months, where I received excellent physiotherapy. Around 12 months after my injury, I discovered Burscough Neuro Physiotherapy. The team has helped me tremendously with my general wellbeing and keeping me as mobile and active as I can be. They’ve advised me on different aids and devices that make day-to-day living easier.
I enjoy my physio sessions. They can be hard work, but if you put the effort in, you’ll feel the benefit.
The Covid lockdowns meant I couldn’t attend physio for a long time. It was during that period I realised just how much my regular sessions were helping me.
It’s easy to let your injury or neurological condition become overwhelming, especially when you’re first diagnosed. It certainly overwhelmed me. One antidote to that feeling is physiotherapy. Give it a try—you’ll get great physio and have someone to talk to, outside of your immediate family and friends. Someone who truly understands your condition.
Despite my paraplegia, I haven’t let it stop me from doing the things I love. I still tinker with motorbikes and grow vegetables in my raised beds. I also learned to drive using hand controls, which has given me back my independence. I’ve even been on my first cruise!”
Very friendly, professional and above all knowledgeable team. I would definitely recommend this team to stroke victims and their families.

Mike sustained a severe head injury which left him with mobility and co-ordination problems. As Mikes wife, it is difficult for me to express how valuable this neuro physiotherapy service is to us both. Mikes quality of life is greatly enhanced by the physios efforts with him each week (thanks for everything).

The physiotherapy sessions my mother has had from Burscough Physiotherapy following a stroke last year have improved her movements beyond anything we could have expected. The care attention and treatment she has received from the physiotherapists dealing with her have been second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending Burscough Physiotherapy to anyone in need of their services, they are excellent in every way.

I have found all the physiotherapists who come to my home approachable and helpful. They always take the time to listen and advise. Having the same therapists also helps as they have built up a good relationship with my son

May I once again thank you and your physios for all the work put in on my mum and the wonderful improvement made, not just physically but to her mental wellbeing as well. The girls have worked wonders and she and I can not thank you enough.

Kind and caring physiotherapists who give their best to improve the lives of their patients…I am impressed by the encouragement given to P throughout each session and also for the explanation of what the exercises are hoping to achieve.
