Questions
Can rehabilitation for Motor neuron disease / ALS happen at home?
Often, yes. Sessions can happen at home or by video, with a daily plan on the Manastik app between sessions. Your team will suggest in-person sessions when a goal needs them.
Do we need a referral?
No. Start by talking to a Care Navigator. We work alongside your treating doctor and, with your consent, keep them informed.
What happens after I book?
A Care Navigator calls you, listens to what’s going on and suggests the right first step — often an assessment with the relevant specialist.
