At NeuroRehab Allied Health Network, we specialise in providing personalised physiotherapy for people impacted by stroke. Our evidence-based approach focuses on neuroplasticity – the brain’s ability to rewire itself. Whether you're in the early stages of recovery, adapting to new abilities, or managing stroke effects, our team is here to support you every step of the way. 

Why choose NeuroRehab for stroke rehabilitation? 

Our neurological physiotherapists are skilled in delivering therapy which stimulates your brain and nervous system to create meaningful change. We use a range of proven techniques, including: 

• Bobath approach: Enhancing movement and posture control through hands-on facilitation.

• Motor relearning: Helping you relearn or adapt essential movements for everyday life through repeating meaningful tasks. 

• The Feldenkrais Method: Improving mobility and awareness through gentle guided movement.

• Aquatic therapy: Leveraging the buoyancy of water to support movement and build strength and endurance. 

• Aid prescription and exercise programs: Recommending assistive devices and designing exercise plans tailored to your specific needs. This includes assessing for ankle foot orthotics (AFOs) in collaboration with orthotists who specialize in neurological impairments.

At NeuroRehab, we lead the way in Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) – an advanced therapy which uses electrical impulses to stimulate muscles, improve strength, and support the brain’s connection to movement. 

Our purpose-built clinics are equipped with:

• Body weight support hoists for practicing walking, standing, running and climbing stairs safely. 

• Advanced upper limb devices to assist arm and hand rehabilitation by removing the effects of gravity or using equipment to target specific muscles and joints. 

• These tools allow for safe, supported, and effective therapy, whether the focus is on regaining abilities or preserving current ones. 

Comprehensive support for stroke survivors 

We work with clients at every stage, from acute to chronic phases of stroke care. While some people work towards functional improvement, others aim to maintain their abilities and enhance quality of life. 

Our team supports you wherever you are – at home, in a clinic, local gym, or pool. We also provide chest physiotherapy and carer training to ensure a holistic approach to your care. 

Common challenges we address 

Stroke affects each person differently. Our physiotherapists can help people with: 

• Weakness or incoordination in arms, legs, or postural muscles.

•  Spasticity and high tone: Using approaches such as stretching and splinting to manage tight or stiff muscles. 

• Balance and dizziness challenges caused by vestibular dysfunctions that may result from stroke. 

• Motor planning and sensory changes.

• Increasing independence with moving in and out of bed, including training carers and support workers in using hoists, safe manual handling practices and transfers.    

• Increasing independence for wheelchair users including sitting balance, getting in and out of cars and finding the right chair. 

Our approach focuses on what matters most to you, whether that’s achieving specific goals, adapting to new abilities, or maintaining current function.

Our team collaborates across disciplines, including Occupational Therapy, Exercise Physiology, Psychology, Music Therapy, Dietetics, and Speech Pathology, ensuring you receive comprehensive care.

Exercise physiology for stroke rehabilitation

We also offer exercise physiology services, a specialised therapy which provides targeted support for stroke rehabilitation.

By seeing a physiotherapist alongside an exercise physiologist, you can maximise your treatment to reach your therapy goals.
