Services
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services address neurological conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and balance disorders through individualised treatment plans. We employ task-specific training, manual therapy, and electrical stimulation to improve mobility and function. Our therapists specialise in treating stroke survivors, Parkinson's patients, and individuals with spinal cord injuries.
Neurological Rehabilitation
Specialised rehabilitation for neurological conditions including stroke, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injuries. Our approach combines vestibular therapy, gait retraining, and cognitive exercises to restore functional independence. We work closely with families to develop home-based programs that maximise recovery outcomes.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy sessions utilise warm water properties to improve mobility and reduce pain for patients with chronic conditions or post-surgical needs. The buoyancy of water supports weakened muscles while allowing resistance training through turbulence. We cater to both adult and paediatric clients in accessible facilities.
Falls Prevention
Comprehensive falls risk assessment and balance retraining programs address vestibular disorders, sensory changes, and gait abnormalities. Our therapists conduct home environment assessments and implement targeted exercises to improve proprioception and prevent future falls among elderly patients.
Home Visits
Our home visit service delivers physiotherapy and occupational therapy directly in clients' living environments. This approach enables tailored rehabilitation programs that incorporate daily living activities and home modifications to enhance functional independence and safety.
