Stroke rehabilitation to support your recovery.

Recovery can look different for everyone, depending on the part of the brain affected, the abilities impacted, and the goals that matter most to you. That’s why rehabilitation should reflect your individual needs.

Whether it’s regaining everyday skills, improving strength and confidence, or working towards greater independence, our team is here to support you. Your goals guide our approach, helping you make steady progress in a way that feels right for you.

Stroke rehabilitation targets

  • Fatigue: Implement strategies to improve energy levels and endurance.
  • Arm and hand use: Increase use and strength of upper limbs.
  • Cognitive function: Enhance memory and problem-solving abilities.
  • Mental wellbeing: Support psychological, emotional, and social wellbeing.
  • Independence: Enhance independence through home modifications, adaptive equipment, and assistive technologies.

Your program may include

Occupational therapy
By focusing on practical skills and adaptive strategies, occupational therapists empower you to navigate daily challenges more effectively.
  • Enhancing independence: Learn new techniques to perform everyday activities such as dressing, cooking, and bathing with greater ease.
  • Improving arm and hand function: Strengthening and coordination exercises help restore movement and dexterity in affected limbs.
  • Constraint-induced movement therapy: Restricting the stronger limb to encourage the use of the affected side.
  • Enhancing vision and perception: Techniques and adaptive strategies can help manage visual impairments and spatial awareness challenges.
  • Home and environment adaptations: Therapists provide recommendations for home modifications, such as grab bars or adaptive equipment, to improve safety and accessibility.
  • Energy conservation and fatigue management: Learn strategies to pace activities, conserve energy, and prevent overexertion.
  • Return to work and community activities: Tailored strategies help individuals regain skills needed for work, hobbies, and social engagement.
Psychology
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, trauma, major life changes, relationship issues, or low self-esteem, psychological support can help you better understand your experiences, develop effective coping strategies, and improve your overall wellbeing.
  • Comprehensive assessment: Your psychologist will take the time to understand your concerns, mental health history, and personal goals.
  • One-on-one therapy sessions: Work together to set meaningful goals and learn techniques to manage symptoms and triggers.
  • Managing unhealthy reactions: Identify and change automatic responses that may be affecting your relationships, work, or overall quality of life.
  • Support through life changes: Get guidance and tools to navigate transitions such as grief, diagnosis, or relationship shifts.
  • Understanding emotions and behaviours: Gain insight into how your thoughts and emotions are linked, and how they shape your actions.
  • Challenging unhelpful thought patterns: Learn to recognise and reframe thinking patterns that may be holding you back.
  • Exploring root causes: Uncover emotional or psychological contributors to stress, anxiety, or other issues.
  • Alleviating symptoms: Work towards reducing distress and improving daily functioning through proven strategies.
  • Enhancing emotional wellbeing and healing: Strengthen your emotional resilience, self-awareness, and capacity for healthy coping.
Functional capacity assessment
A Functional Capacity Assessment is a detailed evaluation by an occupational therapist to understand a person’s ability to manage daily activities, guiding goal-setting, care planning, and NDIS funding applications.
  • Initial consultation and interview: A detailed discussion to gather information about your health history, current challenges, daily routines, and personal goals.
  • Observation of functional tasks: The therapist may observe you performing key activities such as mobility, personal care, domestic tasks, or community access to assess physical, cognitive, and psychosocial function.
  • Comprehensive domain assessment: Assessment may include areas such as communication, mobility, self-care, social interaction, learning, and participation in work or leisure, with standardised measures used where relevant.
  • Collaboration with your care network: Input from family, carers, or other treating professionals may be sought to ensure a well-rounded understanding of your needs and context.
  • Detailed reporting and recommendations: A formal report will outline functional strengths and limitations, along with clear, evidence-based recommendations for supports, interventions, assistive technology, or environmental changes to enhance independence and goal attainment.

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.
