Neuro-Physio

Where physiotherapy meets movement intelligence

A considered, integrative approach shaped by how your body truly moves and recovers. Neuro-Physio is a movement-based physiotherapy approach that focuses on how the body coordinates movement during recovery.

A more considered approach to physiotherapy

Neuro-Physio is built on a simple idea: recovery works best when care is shaped around how your body truly moves — not just where symptoms show up.

Rather than focusing only on the area that hurts, this approach looks at how movement is being coordinated as a whole. We pay attention to how your body distributes load, adapts to change, and responds over time during rehabilitation. By understanding these patterns, physiotherapy becomes more intentional and better paced. Progress feels clearer, care feels more personal, and decisions are guided by how your body is actually responding — not by guesswork or generic protocols.

Neuro-Physio builds on the foundations of physiotherapy, offering a more guided approach within a broader understanding of how the body heals. For many people, this brings a greater sense of confidence and direction — knowing their care is being shaped as their recovery unfolds.

Who Neuro-Physio is suited for

Neuro-Physio is designed for people whose concerns are best addressed through movement-based rehabilitation and targeted physiotherapy care. 

It is often a good starting point for recent injuries or strains, as well as for ongoing neck pain or back pain that feels linked to movement, posture, or physical load. 

Many people also seek Neuro-Physio support for joint or muscle pain, stiffness, restriction, or reduced range of motion — particularly when previous physiotherapy has helped but hasn’t fully resolved the issue. 

This approach is commonly used when returning to movement after time away due to injury, periods of reduced activity, or accumulated physical demand, especially when confidence in the body hasn’t yet returned. 

Neuro-Physio is particularly well suited to situations where the primary goal is to restore movement quality, strength, coordination, and confidence, rather than simply addressing symptoms in isolation. 

It is also a comfortable entry point if you’ve seen a physiotherapist before and are looking for a more guided, attentive approach to rehabilitation — one that adapts as your body responds, rather than relying on a generic exercise program.

What makes Neuro-Physio different

Many physiotherapy approaches are built around condition-based pathways, time- based progression, and standard exercise phases. For many people, this works well.

However, one of the most common frustrations we hear isn’t about the exercises themselves — it’s about uncertainty.

People often find themselves wondering:

Is this actually working?

How do we know when it’s time to change direction?

What happens if progress stalls?

Neuro-Physio is designed to address this gap.

Rather than relying primarily on preset timelines or protocols, greater emphasis is placed on how your body is responding in real time — and using that information to guide each next step.

Why the neuro lens matters

Traditional physiotherapy does an excellent job of identifying muscles, joints, and tissues that need rehabilitation.

Neuro-Physio adds an extra layer of precision by asking a different question:

Is your body able to activate and coordinate those muscles effectively during real movement?

In many cases, pain or restriction isn’t caused by weakness or tightness alone — but by how movement is being organised. When certain muscles aren’t switching on clearly, the body adapts by compensating elsewhere, often leading to patterns of overuse, tension, or recurring discomfort.

Exercises may be performed correctly, but the wrong muscles take over. Progress happens, but it can feel inconsistent, fragile, or slower than expected.

Neuro-Physio focuses on restoring movement activation and coordination — helping the nervous system clearly engage the right muscles, at the right time, for the task at hand.

When those pathways begin to switch on again, rehabilitation translates more reliably into real-world movement, rather than providing only temporary or isolated improvements.

Ready to take the next step?

If something you’ve read here resonates, the next step doesn’t require you to commit to a particular service or have everything figured out.

At My Health Chiro, we don’t expect you to decide whether you need physiotherapy, chiropractic care, or something else before you walk through the door. That’s our role.

Start with a Health Consultation designed to give you clarity before committing to any specific type of care. It’s a space to slow things down, ask the right questions, and understand what your body is asking for next.

Frequently Asked Questions

Neuro-Physio is a movement-based physiotherapy approach that focuses on how the body coordinates movement during recovery.

It’s designed for people seeking physiotherapy care in Melbourne’s inner-west and inner-south who want a more guided and responsive rehabilitation experience.

Many physiotherapy clinics follow condition-based programs and standard timelines. Neuro-Physio places greater emphasis on how your body is responding in real time, adjusting care as movement quality, control, and tolerance change — rather than progressing by default.

Yes. Neuro-Physio is commonly used for neck pain and back pain when symptoms are influenced by movement patterns, posture, or how the body is adapting after injury.

We regularly support people looking for physiotherapy in areas such as Maribyrnong, Essendon, Ascot Vale, Footscray, Maidstone, Flemington, as well as South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, Albert Park, Middle Park, Docklands, and St Kilda.

Many people seek Neuro-Physio after previous physiotherapy helped but didn’t fully resolve the issue. This approach reduces guesswork by refining care based on how your body responds between sessions, rather than repeating or extending the same program.

No. You don’t need to decide that on your own. At My Health Chiro, we guide patients from Melbourne’s inner-west and inner-south to the most appropriate starting point based on their presentation, rather than asking them to self-select a service.

If progress stalls or symptoms don’t fully resolve, that response helps guide the next step. Because Neuro-Physio sits within an integrative clinic, additional layers of care can be considered without starting over or seeking answers elsewhere.

No referral is required. You can book Neuro-Physio directly, or start with a Health Consultation if you’d like guidance on the most appropriate place to begin.

My Health Chiro offers Neuro-Physio services from our Maribyrnong and South
Melbourne clinics, supporting patients across Melbourne’s inner-west and inner-
south suburbs.

The best place to start is with a Health Consultation.
This allows us to understand what’s going on and guide you to the right level of care,
without guesswork or unnecessary steps.

Andre is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever seen. He is so knowledgeable and full of empathy. The amount of times I’ve cried walking into our sessions because of my health is ridiculous. But each time, he has held space for me and assisted me to work through it. When I first came to see him, I struggled so much with neurological fatigue every single day due to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. He explained our treatment plan so clearly, stage by stage (and still continues to keep me educated to this day). With his treatments, my fatigue got less and less. And my capacity grew more and more. I look forward to our sessions weekly and couldn’t recommend his services highly enough. He is a fantastic chiropractor, with an endless wealth of knowledge and compassion.
