CLNML physiotherapists currently treat patients in both the independent sector and for the NHS.

CLNML experts in neurological physiotherapy pride themselves in providing an outstanding service to clients. NML physiotherapists all have their own specialities and regularly lecture around the UK.

CLNML physiotherapists are members of the following professional bodies:

NML prepares reports in accordance with the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR Part 35) and Practice Directions (PD 35). Once instructed NML assess the client either in their own community setting or wheelchair accessible clinic in South Manchester, whichever is more suitable.
