Neurological rehabilitation is never one-size-fits-all.

The same diagnosis can affect two people very differently. At Function First Physio, we assess the person—not simply the condition—and develop rehabilitation around your individual presentation, goals and priorities.

We provide physiotherapy for a range of neurological, vestibular and complex conditions, including:

Parkinson's Disease & Parkinsonism

Physiotherapy can play an important role in maintaining movement and independence throughout Parkinson's disease.

Rehabilitation may address walking, balance, freezing of gait, posture, strength, mobility and falls prevention. We may also incorporate external cueing strategies, including rhythm and music where clinically appropriate, to support movement and gait.

Stroke

Individualised rehabilitation following stroke, from early recovery through to long-term management.

Treatment may focus on walking, balance, strength, coordination, upper and lower limb function, transfers, confidence and returning to meaningful everyday activities.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Physiotherapy can help people with MS maintain mobility, strength, balance and participation while adapting rehabilitation to fluctuations and changes over time.

Treatment may also include fatigue and energy-management strategies, falls prevention and development of sustainable exercise programs.

Huntington's Disease

Huntington's disease can affect movement, balance, cognition, communication and participation in everyday life.

Physiotherapy focuses on maintaining mobility and function for as long as possible, managing falls risk and supporting meaningful activity. Education and collaboration with family, carers and the broader healthcare team are particularly important as needs change.

Acquired & Traumatic Brain Injury

Individualised rehabilitation following brain injury, addressing areas such as mobility, balance, coordination, strength, movement control, endurance and return to everyday activities.

Treatment recognises that cognitive, emotional and sensory changes can also influence physical rehabilitation.

Cerebral Palsy

Physiotherapy for children and adults with cerebral palsy, focusing on movement, strength, mobility, balance, physical capacity and participation.

Treatment is tailored to the person's stage of life, individual goals and changing needs.

Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

FND involves genuine neurological symptoms caused by changes in how the nervous system functions rather than structural damage to the nervous system.

Physiotherapy can play an important role in helping retrain movement and restore function. Our approach is respectful, collaborative and non-judgemental, with treatment tailored to the individual's symptoms and goals.

Vestibular Disorders, Vertigo & Persistent Dizziness

Assessment and rehabilitation for conditions affecting the vestibular and balance systems, including positional vertigo, vestibular hypofunction and persistent dizziness.

Treatment is guided by a thorough assessment and may include repositioning techniques, gaze stabilisation, habituation, balance rehabilitation and graded return to activity.

Concussion

Persistent symptoms following concussion can include dizziness, imbalance, reduced exercise tolerance and difficulty returning to normal activity.

Physiotherapy assessment helps identify the factors contributing to ongoing symptoms and guides an individualised, graded rehabilitation program.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS)

CRPS is a complex pain condition involving changes within the nervous system that can significantly affect movement, sensation, confidence and everyday function.

Rehabilitation may include pain neuroscience education, desensitisation, graded movement and activity, restoration of function and strategies to progressively rebuild confidence in using the affected limb.

Treatment is individualised and paced carefully, with collaboration across the broader healthcare team where appropriate.

Balance Disorders & Falls

You do not need a neurological diagnosis to seek help for changes in balance or recurrent falls.

A comprehensive assessment can identify contributing factors and guide an individualised program to improve balance, strength, walking, confidence and safety.

Don't see your condition listed?

Neurological presentations can be complex, and many people live with multiple diagnoses or symptoms that don't fit neatly into one category.
