At Move4 Physio, we understand the physical and emotional impact of a diagnosis like Motor Neurone Disease (MND). While there’s currently no cure, physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping you preserve mobility, comfort, and independence for as long as possible.
Our neurological physios provide gentle, personalised care that adapts to your changing needs—helping you and your family feel supported every step of the way.
MND causes progressive damage to the motor nerves, affecting movement, speech, swallowing, and breathing. Symptoms may include:
Muscle weakness and wasting
Joint stiffness and cramping
Fatigue
Difficulty walking or moving independently
Poor posture
Reduced balance and falls
Breathing difficulties (in later stages)
Physiotherapy can help by:
✅ Maintaining joint range of motion and muscle length
✅ Reducing stiffness, spasms, and discomfort
✅ Supporting safe and efficient movement strategies
✅ Providing equipment advice to support independence
✅ Reducing the risk of falls and injuries
✅ Promoting breathing efficiency (alongside respiratory physio if needed)
✅ Offering guidance and reassurance for both patients and carers
Your care begins with a sensitive, in-depth assessment focused on your current physical abilities, lifestyle, and personal goals. From there, we create a flexible physiotherapy plan, which may include:
Gentle stretching and mobility work
Passive or active-assisted movement
Postural advice and seated positioning
Fatigue and energy-conservation strategies
Falls prevention and transfer techniques
Support with equipment or home adaptations
Breathing support in collaboration with other specialists
We work closely with other members of your care team and adapt your plan as your needs change—always with your dignity, autonomy, and comfort at the forefront.
We understand that attending clinic may become difficult. That’s why we offer home-based MND physiotherapy across Northampton and nearby areas, so you can continue receiving support in a familiar, safe environment.
We welcome and encourage carers to be involved in your physiotherapy journey. We’ll help equip them with practical knowledge, positioning techniques, and confidence to support you day-to-day.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with MND and you're unsure where to start, we’re here for you. Book a free 5-minute phone call with one of our neurological physiotherapists. We’ll listen, answer your questions, and talk through how we can help.
