We have incorporated our Neuro Clinic into our Albany site. Our neuro-specific physios work out of this site and can see you for a range of conditions such as Parkinson's Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Cerebral Palsy, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Peripheral Neuropathy, Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Vestibular issues as well as an experienced multi-disciplinary team working on ACC Concussion Services.
Our exercise space is equiped with specialised neuro rehab equipment, including a body weight support system, thus enabking those with disabilities to utilise exercise equipment with great outcomes.
We also run a range of neuro-specific as well as falls preventative classes in our purpose-built studio.
What to expect from your neuro physio appointment....
If you are unsure what we can do to help with a neurological condition, book a free 15 minute call with one of our admin team. They can help steer you in the right direction.
If you need more info, then you can book a 30 minute zoom call with one of the neuro physio team at a cost of $85.00. They can help you decide how to get the most from your appointment.
All neuro intitial appointments are 60 minutes and include a baseline assessment and a tailored treatment plan. If you need additional services, such as a home exercise plan or letters to specialists, then this will be charged additionally.
If you have a diagnosed neurological condition and would like to join a class, you will still need a full assessment to see which class is safe and suitable but if you are just looking to join a stability or balance class and don't have a neurological condition then you can book in for a 30 minute assessment to see which class is best for your needs.
If you have MS and wish to use the MotoMed free of charge, then you can call us to book in. Please be aware if you have not previously used this exercise equipment, you will need to book a 30 minute appointment to see how to use it.
