Access to exercise and wellbeing

The programme provides improved access to exercise, physiotherapy and counselling support provided by experience and trained professionals for people living with a neurological condition in Cheshire and Merseyside. This has been made possible through the partnership project led by the Neuro Therapy Centre, with Greenbank Sports Academy, Brio Leisure and The Walton Centre, funded by the Community Lottery Fund. People can either self-refer into the programme or be referred by a healthcare professional.

For more information, please see this patient leaflet.
