Michaela Zelenkova
Master of Rehabilitation Sciences and Physiotherapy in Neurological conditions
Michaela started her physiotherapy journey after completing her bachelor degree in 2007 at Brunel University in West London UK. Michaela completed two years of core physiotherapy rotations in the Wexham Park Hospital in Berkshire UK, where she also worked as physiotherapy assistant during her training. From 2011 to 2022 Michaela continued to work in UK for West London Ealing Community NHS Trust – Enable team, in the physiotherapy neurology outpatients clinic, specialising in neurological and vestibular rehabilitation, treating clients with multisensory impairment and complex medical history. In 2025 Michaela completed her masters degree in neurological rehabilitation specialisation at the University of Antwerp.
Michaela believes that exercise and being physically active is a powerful tool for staying healthy. In rehabilitation regular exercise of the right intensity makes a crucial difference to functional ability, strength and balance. Regular physical exercise and early application of meaningful functional movement at suitable level applied with respect to one’s individual preferences must be part of management of any acquired but also progressive condition.
Michaela is a member of AXXON the professional association for physiotherapist in Belgium and registered with the RIZIV (Het Belgische Rijksinstituut voor Ziekte-en Invaliditeitsverzekering). She maintains her registration with the UK Health Professional Council and ACPIN (Association of physiotherapist interested in neurology) and ACPIVR (Association of physiotherapists in vestibular rehabilitation).
Maximise Recovery
Time is crucial when trying to maximise your recovery after stroke or acquired brain injury. Access to suitable exercise guidance with the right intensity is therefore very important.
Personalised Rehabilitation
In recovery and in line with the neuroplasticity principles specificity, salience, repetition, intensity and time matters.
Exercise Is For Life
Help us build a suitable activity/exercise plan, which is maintainable long term.
Use it or lose it is one of the most important principles in rehabilitation.

So, how is exercise not like medicine?
Exercise and physical activity are preventative.
Encouraging all people to be physically active on a regular basis. It is more than preventing disease or rehabilitation from disease, it is about staying healthy.
