Stroke Rehabilitation Physiotherapy.
Rebuild strength, movement, and independence after stroke — at our clinic or in your home.
Stroke recovery is a journey, and physiotherapy plays a central role — helping rebuild strength, balance, and movement with treatment available at our Capalaba clinic or delivered directly to your home.
What Is Stroke Rehabilitation?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted, damaging brain tissue and often affecting movement, strength, balance, and coordination. Physiotherapy is a core part of stroke recovery, helping to rebuild function and independence in the weeks, months, and years following a stroke.
Because mobility and fatigue are often significant challenges after stroke, we offer both clinic-based and mobile physiotherapy — bringing treatment to you at home when travelling to Capalaba isn't practical.
Common Effects of Stroke
| Area Affected | Common Impact |
|---|---|
| Movement & Strength | Weakness or paralysis, often on one side of the body |
| Balance & Coordination | Increased fall risk, difficulty with stability |
| Muscle Tone | Spasticity or stiffness in affected limbs |
| Gait | Altered walking pattern requiring retraining |
| Fatigue | Significant tiredness affecting daily activity levels |

How We Support Stroke Recovery
Stroke Rehabilitation: Common Questions
When should physiotherapy start after a stroke?
Rehabilitation often begins in hospital as soon as it's medically safe, and continues in the community as recovery progresses.
How long does stroke recovery take?
Recovery varies significantly between individuals. Many people see the most rapid gains in the first few months, though improvement can continue well beyond that with consistent therapy.
Can physiotherapy help years after a stroke?
Yes — even years post-stroke, targeted physiotherapy can improve strength, mobility, and function.
Do you offer home visits for stroke rehabilitation?
Yes, we offer mobile physiotherapy for clients who find it difficult to travel, bringing the same quality of care to your home.
