PhysiKits: Filling the Gaps in Neuro Rehab

Neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and cerebral palsy (CP) require lifelong support to manage symptoms, maintain independence, and adapt to ongoing change.

But here’s the problem: traditional rehabilitation only takes you part of the way.

After a stroke, during an MS relapse, or following a new Parkinson’s diagnosis, people receive great care. They get hospital treatment. They might even access outpatient physio. But once the crisis passes and things “stabilise”, structured support often disappears.

This leaves many stuck in what we call “the missing middle” of neurological rehab.

The Missing Middle: The Forgotten Phase of Neuro Rehab

Most neurological physical therapy services focus on the early stages of injury (like post-stroke recovery or early CP intervention), or on acute symptom flare-ups (such as during MS or Parkinson’s relapses).

But once people are home - no longer acute, but still far from fully recovered - they often face a confusing and unsupported phase.

They may be mobile, but still experience:

• Fatigue

• Stiffness

• Weakness

• Balance issues

• Changes in sensation

• Cognitive or emotional challenges

And yet, because they’re “not bad enough” for urgent care, ongoing support is minimal.

This is a missed opportunity. A golden window for neurological improvement is being overlooked.

“Outside of therapy sessions, patients undergoing rehabilitation spend most of their time alone and inactive. Questions have been raised as to whether the rehabilitation environment is conducive to their recovery.”
— Khan et al., 2017, Journal of Neurology

Why This Phase Matters: The Science of Repetition & Neuroplasticity

Research on neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to rewire itself) has shown one thing consistently: repetition matters.

To re-learn skills or regain strength, the brain needs frequent, meaningful, task-specific practice. And the most accessible way to get enough repetition? At-home rehabilitation strategies.

When people are equipped with tools that guide them through neuro-based exercises, they can continue progressing long after formal rehab ends.

But right now, most people are flying blind.

Why It’s Hard to Rehabilitate at Home

Even highly motivated individuals face challenges with neurological self-management at home:

• Information overload – Online resources can be too vague, overly technical, or outright misleading.

• Limited access to professionals – Appointments are expensive, waitlisted, or too confronting for some.

• Therapy time pressures – Face-to-face rehab often focuses on visible issues (like walking), leaving symptoms like pelvic health, sensation, or fatigue unexplored.

It’s not that therapists don’t care, it's just an unfortunate consequence of a system with stretched time and resources.

This is where PhysiKits steps in.

How PhysiKits Bridges the Gap

PhysiKits is a digital rehabilitation platform, built by neurological physiotherapists, that empowers people living with neurological conditions to take control of their recovery at home.

Each PhysiKit is a step-by-step digital course focused on a specific condition and its most common challenges, like freezing in Parkinson’s, fatigue in MS, or balance issues after stroke.

Inside each kit, you’ll find:

✔️ Digestible science – Learn why symptoms occur and how rehab helps.

✔️ At-home assessments – Track your symptoms over time, without needing fancy equipment.

✔️ Evidence-based strategies – Learn how to manage them effectively and independently.

Whether you’re living with a condition or supporting someone who is, PhysiKits gives you clear, trustworthy guidance without the confusion or guesswork.

Studies show that repetitive, task-specific practice in enriched environments promotes brain recovery even after severe neurological injury.
