Neurological rehabilitation
Specialist, individualised rehabilitation to support recovery, independence and quality of life
What Is neurological rehabilitation?
Neurological rehabilitation supports people living with, or recovering from, conditions that affect the nervous system. These conditions can influence movement, balance, coordination, sensation, breathing, fatigue and daily function.
At Active Health Riverina, neurological rehabilitation is delivered through a personalised, evidence based approach. We focus on helping you move safely, regain confidence and improve function at a pace that suits your condition, goals and stage of recovery.
Neurological recovery is often complex and non linear. Our role is to guide, support and adapt your rehabilitation as your needs change over time.
Conditions we commonly support
Neurological rehabilitation may benefit people living with or recovering from:
- Stroke
- Acquired brain injury (ABI)
- Traumatic brain injury (TBI)
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
- Peripheral nerve injuries
- Neurological conditions affecting balance, coordination or mobility
- Ongoing symptoms following concussion
Each condition presents differently. Assessment and care are always individualised.
How neurological rehabilitation differs
Neurological rehabilitation is not just about strengthening muscles. It focuses on how the nervous system controls movement, balance, breathing and endurance.
Our approach considers:
- How the brain and nervous system process movement
- Fatigue and energy management
- Balance and coordination
- Sensory changes and body awareness
- Confidence, safety and independence
This allows rehabilitation to be meaningful, functional and sustainable.
How we assess your needs
Your initial neurological rehabilitation assessment is comprehensive and collaborative. It may include:
- A detailed medical and neurological history
- Assessment of movement, strength and coordination
- Balance and gait screening
- Breathing and endurance assessment where relevant
- Functional task analysis based on daily activities
- Goal setting that reflects what matters to you
This assessment guides a staged rehabilitation plan aligned with your recovery phase.
Our neurological rehabilitation approach
Our evidence based approach integrates multiple strategies depending on your presentation and goals.
Movement and functional retraining
Targeted exercises to improve movement quality, coordination and confidence in daily activities.
Balance and vestibular rehabilitation
Where appropriate, strategies to improve stability, reduce falls risk and address dizziness or unsteadiness.
Aquatic therapy
Water based rehabilitation to support movement with reduced load, particularly helpful in early or complex recovery stages.
Breathing and endurance support
Breathing assessments and graded exercise to support stamina, respiratory efficiency and activity tolerance.
Education and self management
Clear guidance on pacing, fatigue management, recovery expectations and strategies to support independence.
Recovery, adaptation and long-term support
Neurological rehabilitation often extends beyond short term treatment. We support you through:
- Gradual progression of activity
- Adaptation strategies where full recovery is not possible
- Ongoing monitoring and program adjustment
- Collaboration with family, carers and other health professionals
Our aim is to support meaningful participation in daily life, work and community activities.
Who can benefit
Neurological rehabilitation may help people who:
- Are recovering from a neurological event or injury
- Experience changes in balance, coordination or movement
- Have ongoing neurological symptoms affecting daily life
- Want structured, supportive rehabilitation delivered at their pace
Care is always adapted to your condition, abilities and goals.
