What We Treat
How Exercise Physiologists Work with
Neurological Conditions
Neurological conditions affect the nervous system, including the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These conditions often lead to muscle weakness, balance issues, coordination difficulties, and mobility impairments.
Combined Wellness Solutions’ Exercise Physiologists (EPs) specialise in designing tailored exercise programs to help individuals with neurological conditions regain strength, improve mobility, and enhance overall independence.
Through evidence-based movement therapy, our Exercise Physiologists focus on:
- Neuroplasticity stimulation – Encouraging the brain and nervous system to create new pathways for movement and function.
- Improving strength & coordination – Targeted exercises to restore muscle function and control.
- Gait training & mobility support – Using assistive devices, treadmill harnesses, and functional exercises to enhance walking ability.
- Balance & falls prevention – Reducing the risk of falls through proprioception and stability training.
- Reducing muscle spasticity & stiffness – Movement-based interventions to manage tone and improve flexibility.
- Enhancing daily function & independence – Focusing on real-life activities such as transferring, stair climbing, and self-care tasks.
Combined Wellness Solution’s EPs work in a specialised neurological rehabilitation setting, using equipment such as gait trainers, parallel bars, and functional exercise stations to provide a safe, structured approach to rehabilitation.
Who Can Benefit?
Anyone living with a neurological condition who experiences difficulty with movement, strength, balance, or coordination can benefit from exercise physiology intervention. Each program is individually tailored, ensuring exercises align with the specific abilities, goals, and needs of the client.
