Is this the right service?

A clear starting point for outpatient rehabilitation

This service is designed for medically stable adults with an established diagnosis who can participate safely in an outpatient or suitable home-based physiotherapy assessment.

Confirmed diagnosis

You are living with a neurological condition already assessed by a medical practitioner.

Walking or transfer changes

Mobility, balance, standing or moving between surfaces has become more difficult.

Movement affecting daily tasks

Weakness, stiffness, fatigue or coordination is affecting activities that matter to you.

Continuing rehabilitation

You are transitioning from hospital, rehabilitation or another community service.

Please contact us before booking if: You require a hoist, two-person physical assistance, continuous medical monitoring, specialised equipment or substantial environmental modifications. We need to confirm whether the clinic, staffing and available equipment can safely meet your needs.

Suitability is confirmed individually

Presentations we may be able to support

The diagnosis alone does not determine suitability. Medical stability, functional needs, staffing, equipment, access requirements and physiotherapy scope are considered first.

After stroke

Parkinson’s disease and movement disorders

Multiple sclerosis

Acquired brain injury

Stable neurological conditions affecting mobility

Peripheral neurological or neuromuscular presentations

Listing a condition does not guarantee that treatment is suitable or available. Please contact reception before booking if the diagnosis, support needs or required equipment are uncertain.

Individual priorities

What physiotherapy may work on

Components are selected only when relevant, within physiotherapy scope and agreed with you.

Walking & transfers

Practising relevant movement between surfaces, standing and walking tasks.

Balance & falls risk

Assessing balance demands, confidence, safety and environmental considerations.

Strength & endurance

Progressive physical activity selected around symptoms, fatigue and medical status.

Upper-limb movement

Task-oriented movement and exercise where upper-limb goals are appropriate.

Mobility & stiffness

Positioning, movement strategies and agreed exercises for relevant restrictions.

Home practice & carer education

The plan may include task-specific practice, progressive exercise, mobility strategies, pacing, equipment advice or referral to another professional. No component is automatically appropriate for every neurological condition.

An individual, measurable pathway

    Tasks and exercises selected for you.

  5. Review

    Relevant observations and clinical measures.

  6. Adapt

There is no standard number of sessions and no guaranteed timeline. Recommendations depend on diagnosis, goals, response, fatigue, medical status, service suitability and funding arrangements.

Working together

Rehabilitation may involve more than one profession

With your consent, physiotherapy may communicate with your GP, neurologist, rehabilitation physician, occupational therapist, speech pathologist, nurse, orthotist, exercise professional, support coordinator or family and carers where relevant.

This does not imply that every profession is available in-house. Referral or medical review may be recommended when needs fall outside physiotherapy scope or available clinic resources.

Evidence-informed care

Condition-specific guidance—not one universal treatment

Neurological rehabilitation is not a single technique. Recommendations differ by diagnosis, stage, medical risk, symptoms, goals and individual response. For stroke-related care, Physio Cure refers to current Australian Stroke Foundation guidance alongside the person’s medical and rehabilitation instructions.

Questions before booking

Neurological physiotherapy FAQs

Still have a question? Email reception@physiocure.com.au .

Do I need a referral?

Private physiotherapy usually does not require a GP referral, but information from your neurologist, rehabilitation team or GP is important. Medicare, DVA, NDIS, TAC, WorkCover or other funding arrangements may require documentation, approval or a service agreement.

Can a support person attend?

Yes. You may bring a family member, carer, advocate or support person. Your consent, privacy and preferences remain central throughout the appointment.

Is the clinic suitable for wheelchair users?

The Elwood clinic is on the first floor with lift access. Please contact reception before booking at either clinic to discuss wheelchair dimensions, transfer needs, bathroom access, parking and any required assistance or equipment.

Are home visits available?

Home visits may be available depending on location, clinical suitability, staffing and appointment availability. Contact reception to discuss your needs and current fees.

How often will appointments be needed?

There is no standard frequency. Recommendations depend on assessment, goals, fatigue, risk, response, other services, ability to practise safely and funding arrangements.

What if I become very tired during exercise?

Exercise and activity are adjusted according to your symptoms, fatigue, medical status and response. Tell your physiotherapist if you feel unusually tired, unwell, dizzy or unsafe so the session can be reviewed appropriately.
