1.     What is neurological physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is the practice of physical therapy that helps people recover movement after injury to the brain, spinal cord, vestibular and other nerve related injuries or diseases.

Neurological physiotherapists are specifically trained to assess impairments such as motor control, strength, sensation, proprioception, vision, coordination, spatial awareness, inattention and balance. We can then easily able pinpoint the reasons behind your problems and tailor a program that specifically targets your impairments. What does this mean? A faster, more efficient recovery of normal movement patterns.

7.      Are there extra fees for travel? 

Active Edge Physio invoice travel to appointments in a client’s home or within the community, and from the last client of the day in 5 minute increments at our standard hourly rate. Where a therapist travels to provide services to more than one client in the same geographical area, the therapist will apportion travel time between clients equally.

Travel charges can vary week to week as it depends on where a therapist’s previous client is, how many clients are booked, whether there are cancellations, and a number of other factors. Our team prioritises scheduling appointments to minimise travel costs. For further clarification, please contact us on (03) 8609 1019.

Being in your own environment can make the world of difference for your recovery and general wellbeing. We can also arrange hydrotherapy or gym-based sessions, or plan around your interests and hobbies – planning physiotherapy around tennis or lawn bowls for example.
