Brookvale Traumatic Brain Injury Physiotherapy Industry Leaders
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY PHYSIOTHERAPY
Physiotherapy management of traumatic brain injury is effective at retraining your brain and body for everyday movements like sitting, drinking, standing, dressing, walking, as well as improving your strength and fitness.
Recovering from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) can affect many parts of daily life, including how you move, think, and take part in your usual routines. Our traumatic brain injury physiotherapy helps people rebuild strength, balance, mobility and confidence.
At Physio Inq, we come to you wherever possible. Our clinicians provide in-home, community-based and telehealth physiotherapy to support consistent and accessible rehabilitation. We support people of all ages living with the short and long-term impacts of brain injury.
Whether the goal is walking more steadily, reducing fatigue, improving coordination or returning to meaningful activities, we help you work toward what matters most.
How Traumatic Brain Injury Physiotherapy Helps
Physiotherapy after a traumatic brain injury can assist with improvements in:
- Everyday mobility, such as walking, transfers and moving safely at home
- Balance, coordination and reduced falls risk
- Strength, endurance and general conditioning
- Functional independence with daily tasks
- Dual-tasking and physical activities that require attention and coordination
- Pain, stiffness and muscle tone management
- Fatigue management and pacing strategies
Our approach focuses on practical, real-world outcomes that support daily functioning.
Common Traumatic Brain Injury Symptoms We Support
People living with TBI may experience a mix of physical, sensory and cognitive changes. Physiotherapy can help with symptoms such as:
- Muscle weakness or reduced motor control
- Balance changes and reduced stability
- Coordination difficulties
- Dizziness or altered visual-motor function
- Fatigue and reduced endurance
- Gait changes, including unsteadiness
- Increased muscle tone, stiffness or spasticity
Therapy is tailored to your goals, your environment and your preferred level of support.
Physiotherapy treatment following traumatic brain injury includes providing education for you, your carers and your family about the injury, goals, care plan, and exercises, which may include:
- Manual therapy
- Stretching and movement facilitation
- Strength training
- Balance training
- Functional training
- Task specific training for getting dressed, standing and walking
- General fitness training
- Resistance training for return to sport
Our health professionals know how important it is for you to work on relearning or finding new ways to do the things that matter to you, as soon as possible following your brain injury.
Our Mobile Physiotherapists have all the equipment they need to carry out in home treatments of any type. Whether it be:
- NDIS Services
- Difficulty walking or moving
- Difficulty using your arms for everyday activities
- Muscle or joint weakness
- Poor balance or coordination
- Tightness or stiffness in your arms or legs
- Dizziness and loss of balance
- Pain
Physiotherapists also play a role in helping with prescribing therapeutic exercise for improvement of mood and general health following brain injury.
What We Do: Our Process
1. Comprehensive assessment
We begin with an in-home or telehealth assessment to understand your mobility, symptoms, routines, goals and support needs. Family members, carers or support coordinators can be involved when appropriate.
2. Personalised therapy plan
Your physiotherapist creates a plan targeted to your goals. This may include mobility training, strength work, balance practice or functional rehabilitation.
3. Ongoing sessions
Therapy is provided where it works best for you, including at home, in the community, at school, in your workplace or via telehealth. Sessions may include strengthening, task-specific training, balance exercises, mobility retraining and functional skill building.
4. Review and progression
Your progress is monitored regularly. The program is adjusted as needed, and your clinician communicates with your broader support team to ensure your care remains coordinated.
