Parkinson’s disease

Level 1, 33-35 Palmer Street, Townsville, QLD 4810

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.
