We start by completing an assessment so that we can best meet your needs. We like to encourage and support you to set realistic treatment to improve your physical ability or reduce deterioration in functional capacity. We ensure that you continue to gain benefit from sessions with us by regularly reviewing and adjusting your rehabilitation programme as you progress.
At Complete Neuro Rehab we are experienced in assessment for and the set-up of FES (functional electrical stimulation). This is a treatment that has been well documented by NICE (National Institute for Clinical Excellence) as beneficial for people with MS.

Further support can be found through the MS Society where you can find information on local support groups and online communities.

Although MS is a lifelong condition, advances in rehabilitation therapies and symptom management mean individuals can continue working, exercising, and enjoying social activities. At CN Rehab, we empower our clients with bespoke rehabilitation programmes, ongoing education, and lifestyle advice to help them live their lives to the fullest, despite an MS diagnosis.
Neurorehabilitation therapy plays a crucial role in managing Multiple Sclerosis by helping patients maintain mobility, strengthen muscles, improve balance, and manage fatigue. Specialist programmes, like those offered at CN Rehab, are customised to each individual’s needs and focus on improving functional independence, enhancing quality of life, and slowing the progression of disability. Combining physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech and language therapy can lead to significant improvements in day-to-day living for people with MS.
Early signs of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can vary, but common symptoms include numbness or tingling in the limbs, sudden vision problems, muscle weakness, and issues with balance or coordination. Some people also experience fatigue, dizziness, or cognitive changes such as memory lapses. Recognising these early warning signs and consulting a specialist promptly can help in early diagnosis and management, improving long-term outcomes. At CN Rehab, our expert neurorehabilitation team is here to support you with tailored therapy from the very first signs.
