Rehabilitation Post Stroke

Each year in Australia approximately 55,000 people will suffer a Cerebrovascular Accident (Stroke) and it is a leading cause of disability.

Following a stroke common symptoms patients may experience include weakness or paralysis, altered sensation, poor balance, reduced co-ordination, altered tone and joint pain. These symptoms will vary depending on which area of the brain is affected, and will affect the way we move and function. 

Exercise is an important part of ongoing rehabilitation following a stroke to restore or optimise movement and mobility.  Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists will work with you to set goals and develop the most effective treatment plan to enable you to achieve these goals. 

Treatments will be tailored to your individual needs and will include strengthening exercises, stretching, task-specific practice and manual therapy. Research strongly suggests the more active and involved a person is in their recovery the better the outcome. 

As a mobile service provider we are able to come to you, allowing you to work within the comforts of your own home. We work with clients on all NDIS plans, Aged Care Packages and Private Clients. 

Call 0477 934 546 or email admin@futurephysio.com.au to start your rehabilaition and recovery today.
