Rehabilitation for Multiple Sclerosis Ryde

Multiple Sclerosis

235 Morrison Road, Ryde
Monday to Friday - 8:00am to 5:00pm
Therapy designed to support you through the physical and functional challenges related to Multiple Sclerosis.

Living with Multiple Sclerosis can affect how you move, think, and manage everyday tasks, often in ways that change over time.

We focus on helping you adapt to these changes with therapy that is practical, personalised, and aligned to what matters most to you.

Our team works with you to build strength, improve movement, manage fatigue, and support day to day function, using a combination of targeted therapy and advanced rehabilitation technology.

Your program may include

Neurological physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can play an important role in helping people with MS maintain mobility, strength, balance, and physical confidence. Your physiotherapist will tailor therapy to your presentation, goals, and energy levels.
  • Walking and mobility training: Practising movement patterns to support safer, more efficient walking and transfers.
  • Strength and endurance training: Tailored exercise to help build or maintain physical capacity.
  • Balance and coordination exercises: Activities designed to improve stability and reduce falls risk.
  • Stretching and movement strategies: Techniques to manage stiffness, spasticity, and restricted movement.
  • Fatigue-aware therapy planning: Structuring exercise and activity in a way that supports energy management.
Occupational therapy
Multiple Sclerosis can affect how you manage daily routines, work, household tasks, and community activities. Occupational therapy helps you find practical ways to maintain independence and function.
  • Adapting everyday tasks: Strategies for dressing, showering, meal prep, work tasks, and other daily activities.
  • Fatigue and energy conservation: Practical pacing strategies to help manage limited energy.
  • Hand function and coordination: Activities to support grip, dexterity, and control.

Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy can be a helpful option for people with MS, particularly when land-based exercise feels difficult due to weakness, pain, balance issues, or fatigue.
  • Supported movement: Water provides buoyancy that can make movement easier and safer.
  • Strength and mobility: Water resistance helps build strength while supporting joints.
  • Balance practice: A controlled environment to work on stability and confidence.
  • Reduced impact exercise: A gentler option for people managing pain or reduced endurance.
  • Flexibility and comfort: Warm water can assist with movement and physical comfort.
Exercise physiology
Exercise physiology focuses on safe, evidence-based exercise to improve strength, fitness, function, and overall wellbeing. Exercise is increasingly recognised as helpful in managing fatigue and supporting health in MS.
  • Strength and conditioning: Individualised resistance and functional training.
  • Cardiovascular fitness: Graded exercise to support stamina and general health.
  • Fatigue management through exercise: Programs designed around your energy levels and recovery.
  • Balance and mobility support: Exercise to improve physical confidence and movement.
  • Long-term self-management: Building routines you can continue beyond therapy.

  • Adaptable for all abilities: Seated and standing options available, tailored to your energy levels, mobility, and physical capacity.
  • Balance and mobility support: Targeted movements designed to assist with stability, posture, and functional movement.
  • Cognitive and dual-task training: Combines movement with memory, attention, and sequencing to support thinking and coordination together.
