As
a neurological physiotherapy practice, we help people
with neurological problems to live easier and more enjoyable
lives by
helping them to improve their movement.
We treat patients with a wide range of neurological conditions,

We see patients
from all over the South-East (and
sometimes further afield) at our out-patient clinics in
South Holmwood
(which is outside Dorking in Surrey and close
to the M25), Roehampton and Sevenoaks,
and at the New Victoria Hospital in Kingston.
The importance of movement
Almost everything people do depends on being able to move. Much
of the enjoyment and satisfaction we get from our lives comes
from activities which require some amount of movement. Having
movement problems can also mean that we lose some of our independence
and need to rely more on others.
Here
at heads up!, we understand how important movement is
and how much we can improve someone's life by helping them
to improve their movement -
even if it's only by a small amount - or reduce the deterioration
in their movement.
That's
why we are so committed to helping our patients. And
that's why it gives us so much satisfaction when they start
to move more effectively.
Your
next step
Hopefully, you'll find many of your questions answered on
this website. However, if there's anything else you want to know,
please call Sally Watt, our Practice Manager, on (01306) 888171

Please also contact her if you would like to arrange an

We look forward to welcoming you to heads up! in the near future.

“The focused professionalism and invigorating enthusiasm of heads up! certainly boosted my ability to manage my head injury. Metaphorically, they put a song in my heart again. Highly recommended.”

“I have had cerebral palsy since birth and am 72. I arrived at heads up! barely able to walk and desperate as I had always been able to walk after a fashion.
I was given no false promises by Anna Hamer but left after the assessment and first treatment feeling that at last I had met with someone who knew what they were talking about. The exercises I was given were clearly designed to address my difficult problem.
After a further couple of sessions and conscientious exercising, there was a very noticeable improvement, while I was not yet ready to join a corps de ballet! Now, after six sessions, my walking has improved quite spectacularly and also my body balance.
It is apparent to me that heads up! are capable of treating very challenging neuro-physical conditions that have defeated many others in the field.”

“heads up! provides a wonderful
service to those lucky enough to come under their care. Following
a serious neurological injury three years ago, they have
played a major part in my recovering mobility and confidence
and hence 'a life'.
Their success reflects an intensive and skilfully designed work programme backed by friendly and supportive personal relationships which reinforce good morale and a determination to succeed.”
