Working on walking ability, coordination, balance and mobility to help improve safety and confidence when moving around.
Balance Retraining

Tone and Spasticity Education
Education about muscle tone and spasticity, including strategies to help manage their effects on movement, comfort and daily activities.

Community Resources and Long-Term Support
Connecting individuals with appropriate community services and resources to support ongoing rehabilitation, continued activity and long-term maintenance of function.
Personalized Neurological Rehabilitation
Every neurological condition affects each person differently. Physiotherapy begins with an individualized assessment of movement, mobility, balance and functional goals. Treatment is then tailored to the individual's abilities, priorities and needs.
Whether the goal is improving walking, managing changes in movement, increasing independence or maintaining current abilities, neurological physiotherapy can provide practical strategies and ongoing support.
