Multiple Sclerosis Physiotherapy.
Fatigue-aware physiotherapy support that adapts as your symptoms do.
MS symptoms can fluctuate, and our physiotherapy support adapts with you — helping manage fatigue, balance, and mobility with a program that's reviewed regularly, available at our Capalaba clinic or in your home.
What Is Multiple Sclerosis?
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition affecting the central nervous system, where the immune system mistakenly damages the protective covering of nerve fibres. This disrupts communication between the brain and body, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, balance difficulties, and coordination challenges that can vary significantly between individuals and over time.
Physiotherapy helps manage symptoms, maintain function, and support quality of life throughout the different stages of MS. We offer both clinic-based and mobile physiotherapy, since fatigue and mobility challenges can make travel difficult at times.

Our Approach
Multiple Sclerosis: Common Questions
Is exercise safe with MS?
Yes, appropriately paced exercise is safe and beneficial for most people with MS. We tailor intensity to avoid triggering excessive fatigue.
Can physiotherapy help during a relapse?
Yes, though the approach is adjusted — gentler strategies are used during a relapse, with more active rehabilitation resuming once symptoms stabilise.
Will physiotherapy help with MS fatigue?
Physiotherapy can help through energy conservation techniques and carefully paced activity, though fatigue management often also involves your broader care team.
Do you offer home visits for MS?
Yes, mobile physiotherapy is available for clients who find it difficult to travel to our Capalaba clinic.
