Neurological rehabilitation in Mount Waverley.

The right physio doesn’t promise miracles. They focus on what’s possible: function, independence, confidence in movement, and quality of life.

I have specialist experience working with stroke, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, and other neurological conditions. The aim is simple: identify what’s most worth working on, and make real progress on it.

Conditions I work with

• Stroke — recovery in the early months, and longer-term work for residual deficits
• Parkinson’s disease — movement quality, balance, falls prevention, and slowing functional decline
• Spinal cord injury — function, transfers, mobility, secondary complications
• Multiple sclerosis — managing symptoms, maintaining function, adjusting as the condition changes
• Other neurological conditions affecting movement, balance, or coordination

How I approach neuro rehab

• Start with what matters most. Every patient and family has different priorities — getting to the bathroom independently, walking around the block, returning to a hobby, reducing falls at home. We focus on what would actually change daily life.
• Hands-on facilitation. A lot of neurological rehab is about helping the body relearn movement patterns. That involves physical guidance, not just exercise prescription.
• Realistic about timelines and outcomes.Some things will improve significantly. Some will improve a little. Some will stay stable, and stability is its own win when a condition is progressive. I’ll be straight with you about what’s likely.
• Working with the family.Caregivers often do more day-to-day rehab work than the therapist does. I’ll teach you what to do at home, how to help safely, and when to push and when to rest.

What a session looks like

• Assessment of current function — strength, movement, balance, coordination, what’s changed
• Hands-on work — facilitating movement, addressing tightness, working on transitions
• Targeted practice of meaningful tasks (standing up, walking, reaching, transfers)
• Plan for between sessions — what to practise, what to avoid, what to watch for
