Regular physical activity and exercise are very important when living with a neurological condition, especially in the early stages of progression. Participation restrictions often exist for people living with a progressive neurological condition and research shows 80% of people living with MS are not achieving the recommended activity guidelines. With the help of our Exercise Physiologists, you will be supported to safely participate in an increased level of physical activity and exercise.
Our Exercise Physiologists are tertiary educated health professionals with a four-year university degree. Our Exercise physiology service can benefit anyone in Queensland living with MS or other progressive neurological conditions to increase their level of physical activity to gain the important health benefits associated with regular activity participation and exercise. This includes those living with Multiple Sclerosis, Epilepsy, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, Muscular Dystrophy, Multiple System Atrophy, Huntington’s Disease, Spinocerebellar Ataxias, and others.
