When most people think of physiotherapy, they picture injury rehab or sports-related recovery. But one of the most impactful areas of physiotherapy lies in neurological rehabilitation—helping people with conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system regain strength, mobility, and confidence.
At Perkins Physiotherapy & Pilates in Adamstown, Newcastle, we specialise in working with older adults and those living with neurological conditions. If you’re looking for thoughtful, expert support close to home, you’re in the right place.
What Is Neurological Physiotherapy?
Neurological physiotherapy is a specialised area of physiotherapy focused on helping people with conditions such as:
Stroke
Parkinson’s disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Brain injuries
Spinal cord injuries
Functional neurological disorders
Peripheral neuropathies
These conditions can affect movement, coordination, strength, posture, and the ability to manage daily tasks. Neurological physiotherapy supports people to regain independence, adapt to changes, and move with more ease and confidence.
What Happens in a Neurological Physio Session?
At our Adamstown studio, all neurological physiotherapy sessions begin with a comprehensive assessment so we can understand your current abilities, your goals, and any challenges you're facing.
We’ll start with a relaxed chat to get to know you, your goals, and any concerns you may have.
From there, we’ll do a simple physical assessment to see how you’re moving right now. This helps us understand where you’re starting from and how we can best support you on your journey.
We then tailor your program to suit your needs, which may include:
Balance and coordination training
Strength and mobility exercises
Gait (walking) retraining
Task-specific training, like stairs or transfers
Fatigue and posture management
Supportive Pilates-based movement using specialised equipment
Education and self-management strategies
We’re committed to evidence-based care, but also to delivering it in a friendly, respectful, and encouraging environment.
