Neurological Physiotherapy is essential for individuals facing conditions which can significantly impact daily life, such as muscle weakness, loss of function, coordination issues, and uncontrolled spasms or tremors.

Our team of Physiotherapists specialise in treating these movement and function challenges with a deep understanding of the nervous and neuromuscular systems.

Each of our Neurological Physiotherapy programs are developed in close collaboration with the individual, ensuring it aligns with their personal goals and enhances their quality of life.

Our Neurological Physiotherapy Services

We provide personalised care across the following Neurological Physiotherapy clinical areas:

Mobility assessments

Mobility assessments provide insight into how an individual's illness, injury, or disability is limiting their functional movement, strength, joint range, and sensation.

Our experienced Neurological Physiotherapists can assess the current and progressing mobility status of each individual and create tailored plans to help with functional movement and independence goals. 

Neurological rehabilitation

Neurological rehabilitation is tailored to adults who have experienced a spinal cord injury, stroke or are living with a neurological diagnosis such as multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, or Parkinson's disease. 

Our team can provide neurological rehabilitation for individuals to help improve their motor function, balance, coordination and better manage any tone and spasticity to enhance independence and quality of life.

Exercise and strength programs

Neurological exercise and strength programs are important for individuals struggling with reduced mobility, weakness, or limited endurance due to neurological conditions.

Our Physiotherapists specialise in assessing these challenges and developing tailored exercise programs to address specific needs. We can work on improving movement patterns, core strength, balance, or activity tolerance to enhance independence and overall quality of life.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy treatment and exercise sessions focus on strengthening muscles, mobilising joints, relieving pain, or improving general fitness, balance, and coordination.

Our neurological hydrotherapy sessions can be conducted externally at a hydrotherapy pool and are tailored to support an individual’s specific needs.

Respiratory treatment

Respiratory challenges often accompany neurological conditions, making it difficult for individuals to maintain normal lung function.

Our Physiotherapists work to enhance overall respiratory functioning through education, airway management techniques, and exercises aimed at reducing the effort required to maintain lung function. Additionally, our team can recommend assistive technology to further manage respiratory function.

Walking and balance retraining

Walking and balance difficulties are common challenges for individuals with neurological conditions, affecting mobility and independence. We use the latest evidence-based techniques to assist in improving balance and walking through individualised gait re-training.

If appropriate, our team can also recommend a mobility aid and provide guidance on how to use it safely and effectively, enhancing overall stability and confidence in daily activities.

Clinical Pilates

Clinical Pilates is an effective treatment approach that combines clinical knowledge of movement dysfunction with rehabilitation exercise principles. This method is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with pain, reduced movement, or balance difficulties.

Our physiotherapy programs can incorporate clinical pilates into their rehabilitation program to improve functional movement, core stability, strength and posture.

Manual handling plans and education

For individuals with physical or neurological conditions, safe and effective manual handling is essential. Our Physiotherapists are experienced in creating best-practice manual handling plans tailored to your needs.

Additionally, our team provides education on appropriate manual handling techniques to support teams, ensuring they are equipped to support individuals appropriately and reducing , the risk of injury for both the client and their caregivers.

Functional electrical stimulation

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a specialised technique that applies low-level electrical impulses to weakened, damaged, or paralysed muscles.

This approach is designed to enhance the capability and mobility of individuals with neurological conditions. The FES devices used in our clinic are clinically proven to improve walking speed, safety, walking symmetry, and confidence, contributing to a significant improvement in overall mobility and quality of life.
