Our Rehab Team

Our patients are looked after by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team of clinicians including physiotherapists, occupational therapists and clinical psychologists specialising in the rehabilitation of spinal cord injuries, brain trauma, stroke, and other neurological conditions.

Physical Therapy

Whether spinal injuries, neurological issues, or complex disabilities, so many conditions can bring movement, or function loss.

Physiotherapy is used after an injury, or surgery to help with recovery, although our patients often require more. Needs which arise from a severe cause should be treated with specialist knowledge.

Our physiotherapists are highly experienced in supporting people affected by stroke, spinal damage, or neurological conditions. They also share their knowledge with each other to find the best approach.

Alongside advanced physiotherapy skills, they have expertise in using technologies to support recovery, including exoskeletons, anti-gravity therapy and laser therapy.

Our physiotherapists’ natural ability to bond with their patients is equally important. Our rehabilitation centre is consultant led and we are able to call on other medical specialists. This is part of making sure our patients receive integrated medical, therapeutic and nursing care.

Occupational Therapy

All of us wish to be as independent as possible, in daily activities, or other aspects of life, work and play. This is a natural human trait, which our occupational therapists help with.

Life skills can be forgotten due to stroke, or brain injury, or be impossible to approach in the previous way due to physical change.

This does not mean they are unachievable and our team work with you to find solutions. They use their knowledge and empathy, to help restore quality of life.

There is an on site kitchen and other facilities, to bring reality to our patients’ experience. Technological aids can help to improve movement, or to learn afresh.

Above all, our team members offer patience when needed and a natural spirit which removes barriers. They share the pleasure in tasks becoming normality once more.

Progress comes from working together

Clinical Psychology

Our clinical psychologist works with patients who need psychological support including those who have suffered from stroke, brain injuries and trauma.

With a speciality in neuropsychology and neurorehabilitation our consultant supports patients on their journey to recover normal function and restore quality of life.

Treatment involves a holistic, person centred approach and our consultant supports each patient in response to their individual needs.

An Inspiring Atmosphere

The Royal Bucks welcomes patients who have experienced life changing events, bringing challenging needs. Our team chooses to work here because they are committed to your goals as much as ours.

You will never hear them say a case is too difficult, only that they need to come together to find an effective solution.

Alongside our dedicated team our centre has seen substantial investment in facilities and technology contributing to the success of every patient’s rehabilitation.

Our patients’ recovery is ultimately driven by those they work with every day. We are proud of our team and all they achieve.
