At Palms Physiotherapy & Allied Health, we provide neurological physiotherapy services in Perth for children, adults and older adults living with neurological conditions or neurological injuries that affect movement, mobility and day-to-day function.

Neurological physiotherapy focuses on helping people improve or maintain mobility, strength, balance, coordination, transfers, physical function and participation in everyday life. Our physiotherapists take a practical, individualised approach based on the person’s goals, current abilities, environment and broader support needs.

Appointments may be available in clinic and, where suitable, via mobile physiotherapy visits.

Clinic-based Neurological Physiotherapy in Perth

Our main Physiotherapy clinic location is in Malaga (main health hub for neurological conditions) & Noranda. Many clients from across Perth choose to attend our clinics for Physiotherapy because it offers a dedicated allied health environment with access to a broader therapy team and purpose-designed therapy spaces.

Clinic-based Physiotherapy may be a good option for clients who:

• prefer a structured therapy environment

• are able to travel to appointments

• a dedicated treatment environment

• access to rehabilitation equipment and therapy spaces

• regular face-to-face physiotherapy review

• benefit from regular review in clinic

• want access to a broader allied health service in one place
  
  

Mobile Physiotherapy for Neurological conditions across Perth

For some clients, mobile physiotherapy may also be available across Perth and nearby areas. Mobile physiotherapy can be especially useful when support is best delivered in the person’s own environment, including at home, in supported accommodation, or in the community.

Mobile physiotherapy may be especially helpful when:

• travelling to a clinic is difficult

• the person needs support in their usual environment

• home-based mobility or transfer assessment is needed

• therapy is more relevant in the person’s everyday setting

• family, carers or support workers would benefit from practical guidance at home

The best format depends on the person’s needs, goals, travel capacity and the type of support required. 

Although this page focuses on Neurological Physiotherapy, some people may benefit from a broader allied health team approach. Depending on the person’s needs, Palms Physiotherapy & Allied Health may also provide: 

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy may help participants with:

• daily living skills

• self-care and routines

• sensory regulation

• fatigue management

• home modifications - setup and access

• assistive technology and environmental recommendations

• functional capacity and participation-focused assessment
  
  

Exercise Physiology

Exercise physiology may support participants who need:

• structured exercise programs

• physical conditioning

• strength and endurance work

• graded activity support

• health-focused movement strategies tailored to disability and function
  
  

Speech Pathology

Speech pathology may assist participants with:

• communication

• speech and language development

• social communication

• cognitive-communication needs

• feeding and swallowing support where clinically relevant
  
  

A Team Approach When Needed

We know many participants and families are looking for more than a single appointment type. They want a team that understands the bigger picture.

Where appropriate, our therapists can work together to support broader NDIS goals around:

• independence

• mobility

• participation

• communication

• safety

• function at home and in the community

This can make it easier for participants and families to access coordinated support across multiple therapy areas. This can be especially helpful when a person has goals across mobility, self-care, communication, cognition, feeding or broader participation. 

What is neurological Physiotherapy?

Neurological physiotherapy is physiotherapy for people whose movement and function are affected by neurological conditions or injuries involving the brain, spinal cord, nerves or neuromuscular system.

What conditions can neurological Physiotherapy help with?

Neurological physiotherapy may be relevant for conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury and other neurological conditions affecting mobility or physical function.

Can neurological Physiotherapy help with walking and balance?

Yes. Physiotherapy may assist with walking, balance, coordination, transfers and confidence with movement, depending on the person’s goals and clinical presentation.

Do you offer neurological Physiotherapy for children?

Yes. We support children with neurological or developmental physical support needs where physiotherapy may help with gross motor skills, movement, strength, coordination or participation.

Do you offer neurological physiotherapy for adults?

Yes. We provide neurological physiotherapy for adults and older adults with conditions or injuries affecting mobility, balance, transfers, strength and physical function.

Can I have Neurological Physiotherapy at home?

In some cases, yes. Mobile neurological physiotherapy may be available depending on therapist availability, travel area and whether home-based support is suitable.

Do you offer clinic-based Neurological Physiotherapy?

Yes. Clinic appointments may be available for clients who prefer a structured therapy environment and are able to travel to the clinic.

Can Neurological Physiotherapy cure neurological conditions?

No. Physiotherapy does not cure neurological conditions. Its role is to support movement, mobility, physical function, participation and everyday independence as much as possible within the person’s situation.

Do you offer other services as well?

No. While this page focuses on physiotherapy, we also offer occupational therapy, exercise physiology and speech pathology, which may be helpful for participants who need broader allied health support.

Can your team help with equipment or mobility aids?

Where clinically appropriate and within scope, physiotherapists and other allied health clinicians may contribute to assessment, trials, recommendations and functional support relating to mobility aids, equipment and physical function. Allied health providers play an important role in supporting patients to select appropriate assistive technology, depending on cost and risk category requirements.
