Specialist Neurological Physiotherapist & Clinical Director, The Rehab Physio Ltd
Christopher Wynne, BSc (Hons), MCSP, is a rehabilitation physiotherapist with an in-depth knowledge and specialist expertise in neurology.
He is the clinical director at The Rehab Physio, a specialist state-of-the-art 3.500sq facility on the Wirral, Merseyside, offering robotics and virtual reality to deliver intensive rehabilitation treatment programmes to optimise recovery potential.
He works, together with his lead paediatric and adult physiotherapists, to provide highly successful rehabilitation treatment programmes for adults and children with complex needs, particularly those with spinal cord injury and brain injury.
Christopher qualified from The University of Liverpool in 2004 and, having developed his skills within the NHS, he opted to specialise in Neurology. He left The NHS in 2010 to become lead physiotherapist at a brand-new inpatient rehabilitation unit. In February 2011, he founded The Rehab Physio and has continued to expand and develop the organisation to the present day.
In May 2021 he launched the new Intensive Neurological Rehabilitation Centre, augmented with robotics and virtual reality. The centre remains the only one in the Country with its unique three-tiered ‘Complete Solution’ including intensive rehabilitation technology, specialist neurological physiotherapy and a specialist rehab gym.
Christopher has delivered presentations and training in the field of robotics and intensive physiotherapy to a wide range of professionals in the medicolegal industry. His many and varied experiences created an opportunity for him to be a physiotherapy consultant for ITV in 2016.
Christopher is passionate and enthusiastic about the creative and practical elements of neurological physiotherapy and he finds the analysis and implementation of normal movement strategies, using evidence-based techniques, stimulating, challenging and hugely rewarding.
Armed with the latest clinical research and case studies, his primary objective has been to spread the word on the most effective route to achieving positive outcomes for those with neurological injury and to challenge old industry norms to promote change within the sector of neurological rehabilitation.
He is trained in many recognised neurological physiotherapy treatment approaches, such as:
- Constraint Induced Movement Therapy
- The Bobath Concept
- Spasticity management (including delivery of Botulinum toxin)
- Functional Electrical Stimulation
- Aquatic Physiotherapy
In addition to his current role, Christopher has extensive experience of delivering expert reports for court, on both adult and paediatric cases. He mentors his staff on best practice for the role of the expert witness for court.
