Experienced, dedicated and passionate Allied Health Professionals, helping people with neurological and vestibular conditions
Welcome to Coffs Neuro Physio
Your local experts in Neurorehab
We are dedicated to helping people improve their everyday physical skills, communication, health and well-being following diagnosis of any neurological condition, including stroke, brain injury, spinal cord injury, Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Motor Neuron Disease, etc. We are also experienced in treating people with vertigo, dizziness and vestibular dysfunction.
Whilst working in Sydney, founder Amanda O’Neill recognised the burden placed on people in her hometown of Coffs Harbour having to travel long distances to access these skilled Allied Health services. Her move back to establish Coffs Neuro Physio in 2016 came from her drive to alleviate this burden.
Our aim is to help people become the absolute best version of themselves, whatever their condition or situation. We do this through having skilled and passionate therapists, ensuring client-focused and research-based therapy, and working with an entire team of professionals who really care.
We understand the complexities of your condition and needs, and we provide appropriate and safe rehabilitation for achieving your best outcomes. Therapy can be provided where it is needed most – in the clinic, at home or in the community.
