Neurological Conditions

Neurological conditions affect how the central nervous system - which includes the brain and the spinal cord - functions when moving, thinking, and feeling.

What are Neurological Conditions?

A disorder that affects the brain or spinal cord, or both, is more commonly known as a neurological condition.

These conditions can pose a wide range of issues for an individual, with symptoms spanning from memory loss and neurological fatigue to muscle weakness and coordination challenges.

There are multiple types of neurological condition, which includes:

Neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease
Brain conditions such as stroke, traumatic brain injuries, and epilepsy
Spinal conditions such as spinal cord tumours or injuries, and transverse myelitis

Each individual diagnosed with a neurological condition will encounter a unique set of symptoms, and each individual will experience life with their condition differently.

Which Conditions We Work With…

Stroke and Arteriovenous Malformation

Strokes can happen in different parts of the brain, resulting in different symptoms. Arteriovenous malformations occur at birth, and mimics stroke symptoms.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease which disrupts communication between the brain and the rest of the body.

Parkinson’s Disease and Parkinsonism

Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition that progressively damages parts of the brain over many years.

Cerebral Palsy

Dementia and Alzheimer’s

Dementia is a set of symptoms that causes memory issues. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia.

Traumatic Brain Injury

A traumatic brain injury is caused by trauma to the brain from an external source.

Concussion

Concussion is a type of mild TBI. It is normal for concussion symptoms to clear in time, but some people need specialist help.

Brain and Spinal Tumours

Brain and spinal tumours form in the brain or spinal cord, which make up the central nervous system.

Functional Neurological Disorder

Functional neurological disorder describes a problem with how the brain receives and sends information to the rest of the body.

A neurological condition can occur to anyone at any age, and can make everyday life challenging.

Living with a new diagnosis can be hard. It can be difficult to understand and manage symptoms, and it can impact independence and the ability to do the things that matter most.

We can help an individual to realise their full potential, where our neurological occupational therapists address the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social needs of an individual.

What others says

I am always so impressed by the therapist’s commitment to and ongoing understanding of Claire and her situation. I am sure the rest of the family will share my thoughts so please pass on our heartfelt thanks to the therapy team when you next see them. Sister of brain injury survivor
I just wanted to drop you a line to say, whenever I call the office, Claire, in particular, is always very charming and efficient. She is a good representative of your company and has a nice phone manner and a good approach to customer service. So, thank you Claire. Mother of brain injury survivor
The following will never be enough to illustrate Paul’s journey but we are eternally grateful to the NHS, IM, ILS, Krysalis and the whole infrastructure that has been created for Paul. Yes, Paul is focused, determined and driven but the whole team have created a rehabilitation environment that has changed our life and Pauls future, they have made the thought of life and rehabilitation, turn from the impossible to the possible. Brother of brain injured survivor
The thought of having the family undertake this journey alone seems impossible and we will be always grateful. We all recognise that James is still on the rehabilitation journey, but there is no stopping him. He has just walked to Mum’s & Dad’s on his own (phone first to say he’s on his way)... what a way to celebrate the 2-year journey.Brother of brain injured survivor
I highly recommend Krysalis Consultancy OT services. Anna has been our life line since she came on board to help my husband following his brain injury. He has improved greatly thanks to Anna’s input in assisting him to become independent, teaching him step by step the simple things which we all take for granted. Anna is there for us 100%, teaching us both strategies to enable us to achieve better results.Wife of brain injured survivor
Just a short note to thank you very much for your hard work and persistence over the last few months, your guidance has undoubtedly helped and taken the pressure off me (I have benefited from the sessions greatly). I am really encouraged by the last few weeks and optimistic that if Peter keeps working at it he will continue to make good progress.Brother of brain injured survivor
