How Exercise Physiology Supports Neurological Conditions

Exercise physiology is essential for supporting individuals with neurological conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Parkinson’s Disease, Cerebral Palsy, and Stroke. Tailored exercise programs can significantly improve mobility, manage symptoms, and enhance overall quality of life.

Why Exercise Matters for Neurological Conditions

50–60% reduction in fall risk: Exercise improves balance and stability.
30–40% improvement in quality of life: Exercise boosts mental and physical well-being.
25% increase in muscle strength: Strengthening programs reduce pain and build endurance.
35% pain reduction in fibromyalgia: Regular exercise alleviates pain and stiffness.
40% improvement in functional independence after stroke: Structured exercise enhances mobility and daily functioning.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with MS for years, rehabilitation plays a key role in improving movement and managing symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and reduced mobility.

Our Accredited Exercise Physiologist focuses on:

Strength
Balance
Flexibility
Core stability
Cardiovascular fitness
Research shows that regular exercise can improve walking speed and balance in people with MS by up to 30%, while also reducing fatigue and enhancing mental well-being.

Parkinson’s Disease

Early intervention is vital for slowing the progression of Parkinson’s symptoms. Exercise has been proven to improve motor function, gait, and overall mobility in individuals with Parkinson’s.

Key areas we focus on include:

Movement coordination
Cognition
Core stability
Flexibility and posture
Gait retraining and pain management

Studies reveal that exercise can reduce the risk of falls by 60% and improve daily activities by 40% for people with Parkinson’s Disease.

Cerebral Palsy

Exercise is crucial for people with cerebral palsy, helping maintain mobility, flexibility, and strength, while also preventing injuries and improving psychological health.

Our programs target:

Coordination
Flexibility
Strength and posture
Pain and fatigue management
Gait retraining

The primary goal is to make movement more efficient, enabling individuals to perform daily activities with greater ease. Research shows that structured exercise programs can improve muscle strength by up to 25% in individuals with cerebral palsy.

Stroke Rehabilitation

Exercise is fundamental for stroke recovery, as it can help rebuild strength, coordination, and independence. Post-stroke rehabilitation focuses on regaining functional movement and improving overall health.

Key focus areas include:

Gait retraining
Balance and coordination
Strength building
Posture correction
Cardiovascular fitness

Research has shown that stroke patients who participate in structured exercise programs see a 40% improvement in functional independence and a 30% reduction in the risk of future stroke complications.

How Can We Help?

Your rehabilitation journey begins with a detailed assessment by our Accredited Exercise Physiologist, Nicole who specialise in neurological and chronic conditions. The assessment includes an analysis of:

Strength
Balance
Flexibility
Mobility
Core stability
Cardiovascular fitness

From this, we’ll create a personalized rehabilitation plan designed specifically for your needs. Our programs aim to:

Improve coordination and gait
Enhance strength and endurance
Manage pain and fatigue
Boost quality of life and daily activities
We also offer group classes specifically for individuals with neurological or chronic conditions. These classes focus on improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing overall health and well-being.
