In this episode of Brain Injury Bites, Brooke Trotter and Ashwini Kamath speak with neurological physiotherapist Colin Green to explore the realities of long-term rehabilitation after brain injury.

With over three decades of experience and a passion for supporting people beyond the NHS discharge point, Colin shares powerful insights into how physio can support recovery, adaptation, and quality of life, years after injury.

They dive into:

Why brain injury is a lifelong condition and what that means for care
The critical role of community-based neurorehabilitation
What “good” physio looks like for people with cognitive and behavioural challenges
How multidisciplinary teams can unlock better outcomes
Why some recovery plateaus aren’t the end, but a new phase
The importance of tailored, realistic rehab over generic routines

Whether you're navigating recovery yourself, supporting a loved one, or working in the brain injury space, this conversation challenges assumptions and highlights what’s possible when treatment continues beyond the hospital doors.
