Physiotherapy for People with Disabilities in Perth

Mobility support focuses on helping you move more easily, safely, and confidently in your everyday life. This can include walking, getting out of a chair, climbing stairs, or moving around your home and community. A physiotherapist looks at how your body moves, identifies what might be making things harder (like weakness, stiffness, or pain), and builds a plan to improve your movement so you can stay independent.

“Gait” simply means the way you walk. A physiotherapist watches how your legs, feet, hips, and body move when you walk to understand what might be causing pain, imbalance, or difficulty. After identifying the cause, we guide you through exercises and techniques to retrain your walking pattern. This helps improve efficiency, reduce pain, increase safety, and prevent falls.

Hydrotherapy is exercise and rehabilitation performed in a warm, supportive pool. The water takes pressure off your joints, making movement easier and more comfortable, while still giving your body resistance to build strength. physiotherapists use hydrotherapy to help with pain, mobility, balance, stiffness, and rehabilitation after injury or surgery.

Pain management physiotherapy helps you understand the cause of your pain and teaches safe, effective ways to reduce it. This may include gentle hands‑on treatment, stretching, strengthening, posture support, movement retraining, and education about how your body works. The goal is not only to relieve pain but to give you tools to manage it confidently in daily life.

physiotherapists assess how you move and then recommend equipment that can help you do everyday activities more safely and comfortably. This might include mobility aids like walkers, wheelchairs, or crutches, or home equipment like rails, seating supports, or braces. We ensure the equipment fits properly, meets your needs, and supports your goals — whether that’s getting around more easily, reducing pain, or staying independent.

If you feel unsteady or have had a fall, physiotherapists can help improve your balance, strength, and confidence. We assess why you might be losing your balance — whether it’s muscle weakness, reduced coordination, or a pre‑existing condition — and create a personalised program to keep you safe. This reduces the risk of injury and helps you keep doing the activities you enjoy.

Early intervention therapy supports children to develop movement skills during important stages of their growth. physiotherapists work with infants, toddlers, and young children who may be delayed in gross motor skills, such as crawling, walking, coordination, or general physical development. Therapy is play‑based, fun, and designed to help children build strength, balance, and confidence as they grow.

Exercise programs are personalised physiotherapy plans designed to build strength, improve movement, support fitness, and help you reach your goals. Every program is tailored to your abilities — whether you’re new to exercise, recovering from injury, managing a long‑term condition, or wanting to improve overall health. We teach you each movement and support you as you build progress over time.

Neurological physiotherapy helps people living with conditions that affect the brain, spine, or nerves — such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or brain injury. Therapy focuses on improving movement, coordination, strength, balance, and independence. We work with you to rebuild pathways between the brain and body, helping you regain skills and confidence in everyday activities.
