At Compass, our experienced Physiotherapists provide rehabilitation and management services to people with predominantly neurological and physical disabilities. Our services support individuals across their life span and focus on delivering tailored intervention that promotes optimal function and quality of life.
Neurological conditions encompass a wide range of disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, and nervous system. Some examples of the types of conditions our Physiotherapist’s manage include Stroke, Multiple sclerosis (MS), Brain Injury, Parkinson’s disease (PD), Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Cerebral Palsy & many other related movement disorders.
These conditions can significantly affect movement, walking ability, respiratory function and the ability to complete daily tasks. Physiotherapy addresses these challenges with evidence-based treatments aimed at enhancing overall physical function.
Neurological Physiotherapy demands specialised expertise and knowledge. At Compass, we take pride in our highly qualified team of Physiotherapists. Our Principal Physiotherapist and Director Ann Peters is an Australian Physiotherapy Association Titled ‘Neurological Physiotherapist’, and our team has extensive experience in managing neurological conditions. Their dedication, coupled with ongoing professional development, ensures our clients receive top-tier care.
