Robert’s journey is a true story of grit and determination.

After suffering a stroke in early August that affected his left side, you might think he’d be down for a while, but not Robert. Having faced mobility challenges for much of his life due to meningitis in childhood, he’s never been one to let anything stand in his way. A former boxer and plasterer by trade, Robert’s always been a fighter, and that spirit shines through every step of his rehab.

Through sheer hard work, consistency, and the same determination that’s defined him his whole life, Robert is already back at work and continuing to push himself every day, both in clinic and at home.

Here he is taking on some dynamic balance work on our airtrack, walking back and forth across an unstable surface designed to challenge coordination, control, and confidence on his feet.

We couldn’t be prouder of how far he’s come in such a short space of time, and knowing Robert, this is only the beginning 💪

While Stroke Awareness Day may have passed, we couldn’t let it go by without sharing the incredible progress of one of our clients, Deborah.

At just 38 years old, Deborah suffered a stroke only 18 weeks ago caused by a hole in her heart. When she first came to us, only six weeks ago, she required the assistance of two and a support on her left side during walking practice, now, she’s practicing walking entirely unaided during her therapy sessions.

Her journey so far has been nothing short of remarkable. From struggling to speak and move her right side, to now walking independently and rebuilding her confidence with every session, her determination shines through in everything she does. Even when she’s hard on herself, that same drive is what fuels her incredible progress. Sometimes it takes a moment of reflection (and a gentle reminder from others) for her to see just how far she’s already come.

Deborah’s commitment doesn’t stop when she leaves her physio sessions. She continues her exercises at home, supported by her wonderful parents, her husband Jordan, and her son, and personal little cheerleader Harris. The love and encouragement from her family has played a huge part in her recovery, giving her the motivation to keep pushing forward every single day.

Her story is a powerful reminder that recovery isn’t about perfection or speed, it’s about persistence, support, and belief in yourself, even on the tougher days.

The whole Cortex Physiotherapy team are so proud to be part of Deborah’s journey. Nothing is going to keep this amazing woman down 💜

Every so often, a client comes along who reminds us exactly why we do what we do, and Erin is one of those people.

From the moment she arrives, Erin’s smile lights up the whole clinic. She might only be little, but she brings the kind of positivity and determination that could fill a room. Erin and her family have been working so hard, and every session she amazes us with her progress, even if she can be a little wriggler at times.

Her journey, beautifully captured by her mum, shows just how far she’s come, from those early moments of learning to move with her mum’s help, to now standing taller, stronger, and more confident. Watching her grow, move, and achieve new things has been nothing short of inspiring.

But what’s just as incredible is the support that surrounds her. Erin’s parents are truly her biggest cheerleaders, their love, commitment, and constant encouragement are a huge part of her success. The work they put in behind the scenes doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it absolutely deserves it.

We’re so honoured to be able to play a part in Erin’s story. Usually one of the last clients of the week and regardless of how hard a week its been, she always leaves us ending it on a high, and that smile of hers could brighten anyone’s day.

Keep shining, Erin 💛 You remind us every week that progress, no matter how small, is always worth celebrating.

🚌 “Ye Canny Shove Yer Granny Aff A Bus… Cause She'll Outrun Ye Soon Enough!”

From time to time, having a Physio in the family has its perks. Just eight days after her hip replacement, Iain’s gran is already back putting in the work, proving that age and new hips are no match for determination!

With the right exercises and support, recovery after surgery can happen quicker than you’d think, and we’re so proud of how she’s getting on.

Keep it up, Gran, you’re showing everyone how it’s done! 👏

Recovering from a stroke can be a long and challenging journey, but you don’t have to do it alone. At Cortex Physiotherapy, we specialise in neurological rehabilitation, helping people across Ayrshire take steps forward, no matter how big or small.

Our focus is on helping you work towards your own goals, whether that’s standing safely, improving walking, regaining arm and hand movement, or simply building the strength and confidence to do more of what you love.

We offer clinic sessions in Kilmarnock as well as home visits across Ayrshire, making specialist rehab accessible for everyone.

If you or someone you care about is on their stroke recovery journey or looking for more support with a neurological condition, know that support is available, and we’d be happy to talk about how we can help.

This morning one of our clients stopped on their way to our clinic to read this beautiful message on a window graphic from EACHA - Community Friends here in Kilmarnock, and it really struck a chord.

Whether you’re recovering from a physical illness or condition, living with a neurological condition, rebuilding confidence after illness, managing mental health challenges, or overcoming addiction, this reminder is so important. Recovery looks different for everyone, and it’s okay if your journey takes time.

To whoever wrote this message, while you’ve chosen to stay anonymous, we want you to know that it really does make a difference. Sometimes seeing a simple message like this is all it takes to keep going.

❤️ Let’s keep supporting one another, no matter where we are on the road to recovery.

🌟 Welcome to the Team, Marek Ogrodnik! 🌟

We’re delighted to introduce the newest member of the Cortex Physiotherapy team, Marek Ogrodnik, Physiotherapist.

Marek brings a wealth of experience, having qualified in 2005 and working within the NHS since 2008. Over the years, he has gained expertise across a wide range of specialities including Neurological Rehab, Surgical, Orthopaedics, and Elderly Rehab, as well as training in two different types of massage therapy.

While his skill set is broad, Marek’s greatest passion lies in neurological rehabilitation, especially stroke rehab. Some of his inspiration stems from a book he was gifted from Andrew Marr (BBC Presenter) depicting the moving account of his own stroke recovery, with the line “You found me horizontal but you left me vertical” resonating deeply with Marek and fueling his commitment to helping clients achieve life-changing progress.

Marek’s journey into physiotherapy first began in his younger years as an avid breakdancer and jujitsu enthusiast, where he often saw peers sustain injuries. His desire to help others recover, and prevent injuries, sparked the career that he continues to love today.

When Marek isn’t working, you’ll often find him out walking with his two dogs, Mila the German Shepherd and Isaac the King Charles Cavalier. 🐾

We’re so excited to have Marek on board, and we know our clients will benefit hugely from his compassion, expertise, and dedication. Please join us in giving him a warm welcome to Cortex Physiotherapy!

🆕 Thousands of ICU survivors are being failed by our rehab system, instead of recovering their quality of life as Jo did 💔
A major national report has found that:
🔹 7 in 10 patients had no rehab screening
🔹 Over 3 in 4 had no full rehab assessment in ICU
🔹 Fewer than 1 in 5 had their rehab needs handed over at step-down
🔹 Nearly half were never referred for community rehab
🔹 More than a third were readmitted to hospital
🔹 1 in 5 had to turn to private care

“This isn’t about missed paperwork — it’s about people losing their independence, being harmed, or even dying when rehab support isn’t there.” 🗣️ – CSP

We’re calling for:
✅ A rehab lead in every ICB
✅ Protected time for multidisciplinary teams
✅ End to the postcode lottery in access to rehab

🏥 Recovery shouldn’t be a gamble — it should be a guarantee.
📢 It’s time to fix this.
