Improve your strength and movement with physiotherapy

Physiotherapy keeps you moving to ensure better health and wellbeing.

But more than that, it also focuses on symptom management, and helps you work on your mobility, strength and balance. This can prevent some symptoms – such as fatigue and mobility issues – from worsening over time.

Our physiotherapists specialise in helping people with neurological conditions. So we understand your challenges and how to help.

Physiotherapy can benefit people living with MS and other neurological conditions in many ways. It can help you:

• manage symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, stiffness and pain
• improve your balance and mobility
• exercise at a level that suits you
• improve your mood and emotions
• enjoy better health and wellbeing
• live more independently.

Our physiotherapists have a deep understanding of MS and other neurological conditions. We understand your limits – and can help you push your boundaries safely.

We can help you with:

• marching exercises to strengthen your legs, improve balance and increase your fitness
• breathing exercises to manage mood, pain and fatigue
• modifying exercises so you can manage fatigue and continue doing the things you love
• funding a device for your shoe to prevent you from tripping over.

To start, you’ll be matched to one of our physiotherapists, and your first appointment can take place over the phone, via video call, or face-to-face.

In this first appointment, we will:

• work with you to understand your goals and challenges
• discuss how physiotherapy can best assist you
• design your tailored treatment plan
• recommend ways for you to improve your mobility, strength and physical wellbeing.

We’ll support you through your plan step by step – and help you reach your goals.

Our physiotherapists are based in Victoria and New South Wales. But we also provide physiotherapy in the ACT and Tasmania via Telehealth.

Depending on where you live, we can:

• visit you in your home
• see you at an MS Plus office
• run a telehealth session with you.

Your NDIS plan may be able to fund your physiotherapy. You also have the option to pay privately and receive a rebate from Medicare or your private health insurer.

We can advise you on the best way to pay for this service.
