Treatment Centre
Neurological Teaching Centre
Facilities
The MNC clinic consists of four large treatment areas that can be screened for privacy, or opened-up to make one large open-plan area, used by the Neurological Teaching Centre for neurological courses and workshops. This is soon to be increased when the clinic is redeveloped and extended in the latter part of 2008, to six treatment areas plus two individual treatment rooms, where more privacy or a quieter environment is required.
The centre has a partial body weight support treadmill system which is used for individuals, for instance those with spinal injury, who need support in order to explore their potential to walk in a safe environment.
The centre has specialist "Bobath 5" plinths for treatment, designed in part by therapists at MNC. They can be adapted in a variety of ways to fit the treatment plan.
Manchester Neurotherapy is fully wheelchair accessible, with disabled parking at the front of the clinic, and disabled toilet facilities. Tea and coffee facilities are available for patients and their carers.
Splinting may be carried out by therapists in the centre to optimise the recovery of movement. Patients are assessed by highly trained neurological therapists who will determine whether a splint is indicated, and if so, they may be custom made to fit the patient's needs.
