These conditions often impact movement, balance, coordination and everyday function. Our physiotherapists use evidence-informed assessment and treatment approaches to help you work toward safer, more confident movement in daily life.

Conditions commonly supported include stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, neuropathy and other neurological conditions.

What to Expect in Your Appointment?

Your physiotherapist will tailor the session based on your condition, abilities and goals. A typical appointment may include:

  • Comprehensive assessment: Reviewing movement patterns, balance, strength, coordination and gait.

  • Goal-focused strategies: Establishing functional goals such as walking confidence, transfers or daily activity tasks.

  • Movement retraining: Practising exercises that may support motor control, posture, balance and mobility.

  • Strength and conditioning: Targeted exercises adjusted to your current capacity.

  • Education and self-management: Guidance on fatigue management, pacing, falls risk, home exercises and daily routine modifications.

Your physiotherapist will develop a personalised plan based on your presentation and needs.

Ongoing Support After Physiotherapy

Following one-on-one physiotherapy, some individuals choose to continue their progress through clinician-led group exercise classes with an Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

These group sessions may support:

  • Safe, supervised physical activity

  • Strength and conditioning relevant to daily function
