EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Our EP services are designed to support people with neurological conditions through personalised, evidence-based programs. Each one-on-one session is tailored to clinical needs and individual plans, creating a functional, goal-oriented path to rehabilitation.
Our Exercise Physiologists use targeted movement strategies to create customised exercise plans that help improve strength, endurance, mobility, and overall physical wellbeing. With ongoing support and a deep understanding of neurological conditions, we empower clients to reach their full potential in the purple sheds and everyday life.
FES THERAPY
Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) cycling is an evidence-based, dynamic intervention tailored for individuals with neurological conditions such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or multiple sclerosis.
By delivering targeted electrical impulses to specific muscle groups in the upper or lower limbs, FES enables individuals to pedal a stationary cycle. This stimulation replicates natural nerve signals to promote functional muscle activation.
FES cycling supports improved cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, circulation, and bone density, making it a powerful tool in neurorehabilitation.
PHYSIOTHERAPY
Our physiotherapists are experts in assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal and respiratory conditions. They focus particularly on the complex needs of individuals living with neurological conditions.
Treatment may include hands-on techniques to reduce pain, improve joint mobility, and correct muscle imbalances, alongside tailored exercise programs to restore function, enhance movement quality, and build long-term resilience.
We also offer specialised respiratory support, helping clients manage secretion clearance and improve breathing efficiency, which is crucial in conditions where respiratory function may be affected.
MASSAGE THERAPY
Our experienced remedial massage therapists use deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, cupping, dry needling, and myofascial release to support your recovery and wellbeing.
Massage therapy can help ease muscle tension, reduce pain, assist circulation, and improve overall comfort. When combined with dry needling, remedial massage may also reduce muscle spasticity and hypertonicity, which are common in neurological conditions.
Our treatment beds are cushioned for comfort, and our team is on hand to assist with transfers on and off the massage table. For those who prefer, we also offer seated massage options, so you can enjoy the benefits of treatment without leaving your chair.
HYDROTHERAPY
Hydrotherapy provides a unique and supportive environment for neurological rehabilitation by harnessing the therapeutic benefits of water.
Delivered in temperature-controlled pools, our tailored sessions reduce the effects of gravity, offering a near-weightless experience that allows for freer, more comfortable movement. Water’s buoyancy supports the body, easing mobility and reducing pain, while hydrostatic pressure promotes circulation, decreases swelling, and offers gentle resistance to aid muscle activation.
Hydrotherapy is an ideal complement to land-based therapy, supporting functional gains in a safe and low-impact setting.
GROUP TRAINING
Our small group training sessions are designed to improve cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, and everyday movement.
With a 10 participants in each group, sessions are fast-paced, varied, and tailored to suit different abilities and goals. With the help of some good tunes and even better vibes, each group session is led by our staff and adapted to meet individual needs.
Group sessions are a motivating and supportive way to build strength, boost confidence, and stay active in the comfort of our fully accessible sheds.
