Parkinson’s disease

Get in touch

Therapy designed to support you through the physical, functional, and emotional challenges related to Parkinson's disease.

We’re here to work with you, one-on-one, as a team. Together, we’ll take the time to understand your unique needs, goals, and how your condition is progressing. From there, we’ll create a personalised plan to help you manage your symptoms, stay active, and keep living life your way for as long as possible.

Parkinson’s therapy targets

  • Tremors and rigidity: Improve control over involuntary movements and ease muscle stiffness to support smoother, more purposeful movement.
  • Coordination and fine motor skills: Improve hand control and precision to support daily tasks.
  • Cognitive function: Enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
  • Mental wellbeing: Support psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing.
  • Independence: Enhance independence through home modifications, adaptive equipment, and assistive technologies.

Your program may include

Parkinson’s can make everyday tasks more challenging. Your occupational therapist will help you find new ways to maintain independence.
  • Adapting daily tasks: We teach practical strategies for dressing, showering, brushing your teeth, and even using your phone.
  • Personalised home advice: Small changes can make a big difference – our team can suggest modifications to make your home safer and more accessible.

Roberto

Senior Massage Therapist

With over a decade in the health and wellness industry, Roberto is passionate about helping people recover, perform, and feel their best. His expertise spans injury rehabilitation, pain management, and sports massage, working with elite athletes and everyday clients alike.

Having run his own successful clinic, Roberto understands that great care goes beyond technique - it’s about listening, adapting, and creating tailored treatment plans that truly make a difference. He has worked alongside top physiotherapists, and sports teams such as the Sydney Swans, ensuring his clients get the most comprehensive care possible.

When he’s not helping others move better, you’ll find Roberto staying active himself - hiking, strength training, and taking on new challenges. He’s always looking for ways to grow, both personally and professionally, so his clients get the best support on their journey to recovery and peak performance.
