Poor Mobility
Poor Mobility refers to difficulty with movement and physical function, which can affect walking, transferring, balance, and coordination.
What is Poor Mobility?
It may result from neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, age-related changes, chronic health issues or post-op recovery. Poor mobility can impact independence, increase the risk of falls, and reduce quality of life. Physiotherapy plays a key role in restoring movement and helping individuals regain confidence and control in their daily activities.
Poor mobility may be caused by:
- Muscle weakness or joint stiffness
- Neurological impairments (e.g. stroke, MS, Parkinson’s)
- Post-surgical recovery
- Deconditioning due to inactivity or illness
- Balance problems or fear of falling
- Pain, fatigue, or postural issues
These factors can lead to reduced participation in everyday tasks such as walking, climbing stairs, or getting in and out of bed or on and off chairs
At Physio Matters, our Poor Mobility Rehabilitation Programme is designed to improve movement, safety, and independence. It may include:
- Strengthening exercises for hips, knees, ankles, and core
- Gait re-education to improve walking patterns
- Balance and coordination training to reduce fall risk
- Functional movement practice – sit-to-stand, transfers, stair climbing
- Hydrotherapy to support movement in a low-impact environment
- Advice on walking aids, orthotics, and adaptive equipment
We tailor each programme to the individual’s goals and abilities, helping them achieve their maximum physical potential and lead a more fulfilling life.
If you or someone you care for is experiencing poor mobility, we’re here to help. Contact us to book an assessment or speak to one of our team.

Frequently asked questions
Neurological treatments focus on rehabilitation for conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord and nervous system. At Physio Matters, specialist neurological physio is delivered by an experienced neuro physiotherapist to help improve movement, balance, coordination and everyday function following neurological illness or injury.
Our neurological physio service supports people living with conditions such as stroke, acquired brain injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury and other neurological disorders. Treatment is provided by a qualified neurological physiotherapist with experience in complex rehabilitation.
Neurological physio is highly specialised and focuses on how the nervous system controls movement. A neuro physiotherapist uses specific rehabilitation techniques to retrain movement patterns, manage symptoms such as weakness or spasticity and support long-term independence, rather than treating isolated injuries.
Neurological rehabilitation begins with a detailed assessment by your neurological physiotherapist. Treatment may include gait re-education, balance and coordination training, upper limb rehabilitation, strengthening, functional task practice and strategies to prevent further decline. All neuro physio programmes are tailored to your goals and stage of recovery.
Yes. Neurological physio can be highly beneficial for both short-term recovery and long-term neurological conditions. Your neuro physiotherapist can support ongoing symptom management, maintain function and help prevent secondary complications such as stiffness, pain or loss of mobility.
Neurological treatment sessions can take place at our clinic in Royton or in community settings such as your home. Your neurological physiotherapist will recommend the most appropriate environment to support safe and effective neuro physio rehabilitation.
The frequency of neurological physio sessions depends on your condition, goals and response to treatment. Your neuro physiotherapist will create a flexible rehabilitation plan and review it regularly as your needs change.
Yes. A key part of neurological physio is prevention. Your neurological physiotherapist will address posture, movement strategies, strength and fatigue management to help reduce the risk of falls, pain and further loss of function.
No referral is required. You can self-refer directly to Physio Matters for neurological physio. With your consent, your neuro physiotherapist can also liaise with your GP, consultant or wider healthcare team.
Your care will be delivered by a specialist neuro physiotherapist with extensive experience in neurological physio and rehabilitation. At Physio Matters, we prioritise continuity of care, so you’ll work with a clinician who understands your condition and goals and most importantly, understands you and your needs.
