We recently 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 Cod 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.
Cancer Support Services
There are many specialist providers that offer additional support for you and your family members following a diagnosis of cancer.
Our cancer rehabilitation physiotherapists, and lymphoedema therapists have undertaken additional training; they are certified to provide individualised care to these specific populations.
Remember your health insurance provider may include cover for physiotherapy or oncology massage services, also we accept Under the Canopy vouchers as provided by Canopy Cancer Care.
These services may be useful to you, you can ask your therapist for more information or check the websites provided in the link below:

Lymphoedema therapy
This is different to providing massage alone. Certified Lymphoedema therapists are trained to assess the body site that has the issue and to identify other factors that may be contributing to your lymphoedema. This includes incorporating self-management strategies such as exercise, skin care, and what type of compression would best suit the affected area, we can also refer to nutritionists and counsellors to help you regain control and make lifestyle changes. We assist you in preventing and managing exacerbations, along with communicating with the other members of your health care team, including your GP, nurse specialist, oncologist, and surgeon to ensure your treatment is both safe and effective.
