Neurological Conditions and Exercise
Provided by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist
How We Can Help
Living with a neurological condition can come with challenges, but also possibilities. Whether you’re adjusting to a recent diagnosis or have been managing your condition for years, exercise physiology can help you move with more ease, confidence, and support.
Neurological conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, and others can affect balance, coordination, mobility, strength, and daily function. But that doesn’t mean movement isn’t for you, it just means it needs to be tailored to you.
We design movement programs that work with your body, not against it. Our aim is to improve your functional ability, reduce risk of falls, and help you maintain independence, while also making space for joy, progress, and quality of life.
What We Support
We support individuals with a range of neurological conditions, including but not limited to:
Stroke (CVA) recovery and post-stroke rehabilitation
Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders
Multiple sclerosis (MS), including fatigue and balance challenges
Acquired brain injuries (ABI) and concussion recovery
Spinal cord injuries and functional mobility support
Cerebral palsy across all ages and abilities
Functional neurological disorder (FND)
Peripheral neuropathy and nerve-related impairments
And we can help with:
Improving strength, coordination, balance, and endurance
Supporting daily tasks like walking, transferring, or climbing stairs
Reducing fatigue and managing energy more effectively
Building confidence in movement after injury or diagnosis
Preventing deconditioning during long-term illness
Creating meaningful movement goals that align with what matters most to you
Our Approach
Our approach is rooted in collaboration, compassion, and capability. We work closely with you (and any support team you may have) to understand your specific goals, abilities, and lived experience.
\We adapt movement to suit your current function, preferred pace, sensory needs, and daily life. Whether that’s gentle balance work, targeted strength training, or simply finding safer, easier ways to move around your home, we'll find what works with you.
We also know neurological conditions can fluctuate. That’s why our support is flexible and responsive, so your program can evolve with you. Whether your goal is to get back to dancing, walking your dog, or just moving with more confidence,we’re here to help you get there.
