Rehabilitation Unit

Severe neurological injuries and illnesses are life-altering. Recovering from these challenges requires time, intensive rehabilitation and expert care. At Cleveland Clinic London, our state-of-the-art rehabilitation centre offers a world-leading level of care. We optimise function and independence for people with the most complex impairments, including strokes, neurodegenerative disorders, brain and spinal cord injuries, and amputations and complex trauma.

At our hospital-based rehabilitation programme, we offer:

• Team approach: You are in the care of a consultant-led team that includes specialised nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech and swallowing therapists, neuropsychologists, dietitians and other experts. Our multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive, seamlessly coordinated care.
• Intensive rehabilitation: We are one of the few rehabilitation centres in the U.K. with the staff and resources to provide individualised rehabilitation for three to four hours daily. This intensive therapy schedule speeds recovery and helps you reach your full potential as quickly as possible.
• Immediate access: After surgery or a severe injury, each day counts. Waiting weeks or months for the necessary care puts your life on hold — and could jeopardise your recovery. We have rapid availability for people to begin rehabilitation as quickly as possible after a traumatic event, which leads to better outcomes.
• Innovative technology: Our new facility features the most sophisticated rehabilitation equipment available. We offer the latest robotic devices, exoskeletons and virtual reality systems for upper and lower limb rehabilitation following stroke, polytrauma, or brain or spinal cord injury. Robotic technology, combined with manual therapy, improves motor function, mobility, coordination and skills for daily living.
• Patient- and family-focused services: We involve patients and their loved ones in the recovery process. Consultants meet with families regularly to discuss progress, set goals and plan for the next phase of care. Dedicated case managers connect families to a range of services for medical, psychological and emotional support.
• Care for complex conditions: We have the resources and capabilities to care for patients with the most complex medical needs, including people who are tracheostomy dependent. Critical care-trained consultants and respiratory therapists are available 24/7 in our intensive care unit to provide support throughout recovery.
• Music therapy: We offer music therapy as part of our enhanced rehabilitation service. This type of therapy helps support you in many different ways — helping with everything from your psychological and emotional needs to your physical and social ones. You do not need any musical knowledge or experience to enjoy this service. Our team will guide you through music therapy to help you reach your therapeutic goals.
