BaiMed Neuro is the branch of BaiMed dedicated to helping people with various neurological conditions and symptoms.
Neurological and age-related conditions and symptoms we can assist with:
- Poor Balance + Risk of Falls
- Poor Mobility and Gait
- Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease
- Parkinson’s Plus Syndromes (MSA, PSP)
- Multiple Sclerosis
- Acquired Spinal Cord Injuries
- Acquired Brain Injuries including Stroke
- Dementia (including Dementia with Lewy Bodies and Alzheimer’s Disease)
- Cerebral Palsy
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Ataxia
Our approach is highly individualised care. When it comes to neurological disorders and symptoms, every person is affected differently.
We pride ourselves on getting to know the individual, their unique symptoms, their concerns, and most importantly their goals.
We tailor their treatment accordingly, and continually re-assess and adapt as needed.
How can Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology help with neurological conditions?
- Improve quality of life for the individual
- Reduce degradation rate of muscle mass, or increase muscle mass
- Improve Motor Function
- Improve Gait and Mobility
- Improve symptoms
- Improve comorbidities
- Prolong independence and allow individuals to stay at home for longer
- Reduce risk of falls and injury
- Prevent or limit disability
- Assist in reducing/preventing contractures (in people with muscular dystrophy, spinal cord injuries and stroke)
My brain/spinal cord injury occurred years ago, is it too late for me to have physio/EP treatment?
No, with the right treatment, you can likely see improvements in function many years after an injury has occurred.
My condition is degenerative in nature, can Physio/Exercise really help?
Yes, exercise can help to counteract or slow down the progression of symptoms in the case of degenerative diseases, such as Parkinson’s Disease.
