Acquired Brain/Head Injury
Understanding an injury to the head or brain — be it your family member’s or your own — isn’t always easy. The physical effects aren’t the only things to handle: struggling to walk, having difficulty getting out of a chair, or having trouble performing tasks that used to seem effortless. Additionally, the emotional aspect of recovery is just as important and vital.
At K 7 Physiotherapy, we work with patients who are at any stage of recovery from head and brain injuries. Our goal is both personal and practical, helping you move more easily, feel more secure in your stride, and get back to the daily activities that are most important to you. If your injury was the result of an accident, stroke, operation or neurological condition, you’ll always receive individual attention with the same physiotherapist in a manner that’s right for your needs.
What Is an Acquired Brain Injury?
An acquired brain injury (ABI) is any injury to the brain that occurs after birth. It is not something you are born with, and it is not hereditary or degenerative. It happens — often unexpectedly — and the effects can vary enormously from one person to the next.
There are two main categories:
Traumatic Brain Injury
This type occurs when an external force causes damage to the brain. Common causes include:
- Falls
- Road traffic accidents
- Sports injuries
- Assaults
- Head trauma
Non-Traumatic Brain Injury
This type is caused by internal medical events rather than a physical blow. Common causes include:
- Stroke
- Aneurysm
- Brain tumours
- Infectious diseases
- Lack of oxygen to the brain
No two brain injuries are the same. Depending on the area of the brain affected, a person may experience changes in movement, balance, coordination, strength, posture, fatigue levels, or confidence with everyday tasks — sometimes a combination of several.
How Can Physiotherapy Help?
A physiotherapist takes time to understand how the injury has affected daily life. This may include exploring:
- How steady the body feels during walking
- Whether turning, stepping, or reaching feels difficult
- Levels of muscle control on each side of the body
- Fatigue and concentration levels
- Confidence when moving through different environments
- How tasks like climbing stairs, standing up, or getting into bed feel now
This assessment is calm and unrushed, allowing space for clear, personalised support.

Brain and Head Injury Physio Near You
If you are searching for brain injury physio near you or head injury physiotherapy near you, K 7 Physiotherapy provides specialist neurological physiotherapy at home across Warwickshire and surrounding areas.
For people recovering from a brain or head injury, travelling to a clinic may not always be practical. Mobility difficulties, fatigue, balance problems or reduced confidence can make longer journeys challenging. For this reason, we can provide physiotherapy in the patient’s own home, where rehabilitation can also focus on the movements and activities that are important in everyday life.
We provide home physiotherapy across Warwickshire and surrounding areas, including:
- Rugby and surrounding villages
- Coventry
- Birmingham
- Leicester
- Northampton
- Kettering
- Corby
- Other nearby towns and villages
We are happy to travel longer distances where needed. If you are unsure whether we cover your area, please call or WhatsApp us on 07395 414243 and we can let you know whether a home visit can be arranged.
Our aim is to make specialist brain and head injury physiotherapy accessible to people who may find travelling difficult while providing rehabilitation in the place where everyday movement matters most — their own home.

- Take time to hear about your symptoms and what has been difficult
- Review your medical history and any relevant reports
- Assess your movement, balance, and mobility
- Get a clear sense of your daily challenges at home
- Understand what you most want to get back to doing
