Neuromoves Launches in Sydney: Exercise Programs for Neurological Conditions

Spinal Cord injuries Australia – “providing consumer based support to people with physical disabilities” – has launched its NeuroMoves exercise program in Sydney, targeting people with neurological conditions such as acquired brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, motor neurone disease or cerebral palsy.

NeuroMoves’ facilities are fitted with state of the art, wheelchair accessible exercise and rehabilitation equipment that is suitable for people with any level of ability. The programs range from intensive one-on-one therapy to fun group fitness training.

The exercise services offered by NeuroMoves Sydney include:
