Neurology
Neurological conditions are among the most complex and rewarding areas of physiotherapy practice.
With advances in neuroscience, rehabilitation technology and evidence-based interventions, this field continues to evolve—offering physiotherapists countless opportunities to enhance outcomes for people living with neurological conditions.
The Neurology group connects physiotherapists who are passionate about neurological rehabilitation and recovery.
Membership provides access to professional learning, research updates and a supportive network of clinicians, educators and researchers working across Australia.
Member benefits include:
- regular updates with research, clinical resources and event information
- discounts on professional development courses and events organised by the Neurology group
- free access to lectures and online lectures hosted by the group
- opportunities to participate in state and national committees, including the biannual conference scientific committee
- support for progression towards titling and specialisation in neurological physiotherapy
- access to the Neurology community on PhysioHub—collaborate with colleagues, explore new evidence and share experiences in a dedicated, member-only space.
The APA Neurological national group aligns with the International Neurological Physiotherapy Association.
About the group
The Neurology group brings together physiotherapists committees across the country who organise professional development lectures, courses and networking events throughout the year.
Members develop skills in movement analysis, neurological assessment and evidence-based rehabilitation across a range of conditions, including:
- stroke
- traumatic brain injury
- spinal cord injury
- peripheral nerve lesions
- dizziness and balance disorders
- Parkinson's disease
- multiple sclerosis
- pilates for neurological clients.
The group has developed a series of progressive courses supporting the pathway to titling and specialisation in neurological physiotherapy.
Many courses are delivered in partnership with other national groups, broadening clinical expertise and interdisciplinary learning.
The group also facilitates national and international networking opportunities, connecting members with leaders in neurological research and clinical innovation.
Members are encouraged to get involved—whether by joining committees, contributing to discussions on PhysioHub, or helping to design future professional development and advocacy initiatives.
Every two years, the APA conference scientific committee curates a dedicated neurology program, offering another opportunity for members to shape the future of this vital area of physiotherapy.
