The Community NeuroRehab Service story
Richard and Jennifer, the owners of Community NeuroRehab Service, had been working independently within the neurological physiotherapy space for several years before deciding to create a partnership. They shared a goal of providing a high-quality, holistic neurological allied health service on the Sunshine Coast.
With their partners Tiffany and Rohan, they brought their dream of Community NeuroRehab Service to life in October 2022. Richard and Jennifer serve as the company’s senior physiotherapists and team leaders. Tiffany, an experienced registered nurse, is the team’s senior allied health assistant. Rohan is our business manager.
The practice has since expanded to include additional physiotherapists, along with occupational therapists and exercise physiologists. And we’re still growing thanks to the wonderful people we get to support each day.
Community focus, family values
As a local family-owned business, we love supporting our community. We believe this gives us a greater understanding of the daily stresses and demands families face, which allows us to better connect with everyone who comes through our doors. Our empathy for hardship and managing daily demands inspired us to build a company offering flexible choices to allow accessible and attainable therapy to all who need it
What our clients are saying about us…
I have worked alongside this team for a few years and am extremely impressed with the diligence, consideration, and customer service the team provides. CNRS offers a range of therapies including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, and allied health assistance. The team is honest, fair, and genuinely driven by the best interests of their clients. I have worked in disability support, and a few of my clients have also been clients of CNRS, and the results have been great. Extremely impressed with this team’s dedication to direct client care, and would 100% recommend to anyone seeking a genuine therapy experience.

My 9-year-old daughter has been doing physio with Lucy for her Cerebral Palsy. Miss 9 is also autistic with a PDA profile, meaning we can have significant challenges around engaging with therapy. Lucy has been visiting us at home now for several months, and Miss 9 has responded well both to Lucy personally and to in-home therapy. She looks forward to Lucy’s visits. Lucy keeps things fun, active, and is always encouraging Miss 9 to try her best. She has the ability to challenge Miss 9 to push herself to succeed, which she responds well to. I highly recommend!

Been seeing Richard and Tiffany for Physiotherapy and Allied Health Assistant services. They’ve been great to work with and would highly recommend them.
CNRS has been incredibly supportive of my needs and Richard and his team have assisted in my recovery from the ABI I had many years ago. Working as part of his multidisciplinary team streamlined my services and I am so grateful. Thank you
My 2nd time in water rehab with Lauren .EP. from Community Neuro rehab. A lovely young lady with a lot of patience and kindness for my confidence building. Today’s swim was at Caloundra pool, and they state it’s 32 degrees along entering these old lost muscles weren’t that warm but Lauren chatted with me not even noticing the chill becoming nice and warm. As my carer counted we walked the pool 4 × up and down that’s 8 lengths, so that was great especially after no exercise for about two years now.

I found Community Neuro Rehab after scouring quite a few physiotherapists. Having PLS (MND) it’s hard to find the right people. Richard has been brilliant. Not only very knowledgeable but also flexible and understanding with my own changes and needs. I also feel my needs are always made paramount, yet are guided and very instructive. Probably the best decision on support I have made since being diagnosed. Thanks C.N.R.S.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with the crew at CNRS, and they are amazing. I had 2 strokes when I was 16 years old, I have now got dystonia down my right side due to this, they have helped me learn ways to calm it down and make my brain cooperate more. I also have a much better understanding of my body because of them 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you so much to everyone at CNRS, especially Rich 🙏🙏🙏
Krystal R.
Richard and his team have been supporting me and my family (daughter and son too) with both Physiotherapy and Exercise Physiology services. I am so grateful that Richard comes to my home to provide physiotherapy as I feel I get a lot more long-term benefit. Thank you, Richard 🐿

I was diagnosed with MS in 2019 and I have been working with Richard since early 2020. I have gone from barely walking 100 mtr, to climbing mountains. Richard’s extensive knowledge, coupled with his genuine need to help others and help them achieve their goals makes him the ideal neuro/physio therapist. It’s a rare thing to find a genuine and compassionate person who truly wants the best for you. Anyone with a disability knows how invaluable it is to be surrounded by the right team of allied health. Richard has gathered together the very best in their respective fields offering a wide range of expertise all under the one banner. The communication between his colleagues in their various fields ensures you will always have the best of care no matter where your health or recovery takes you.

Writing on behalf of an NDIS participant Greg. Jordan is incredibly easy-going, very professional and experienced in his field. I have made improvements in my physical fitness with increasing strength in my lower and upper body making everyday tasks easier. Jordan is patient, kind and understanding.

I have been working with Richard for quite some time now and also started working with Jess; they are both really great. The exercise plans are good, and I feel great after I’ve seen them.
Sarah M.
My client sees Richard on a fortnightly basis and has been so accommodating and kind to my client. There have been lots of positive changes since he’s been seeing Richard in his physical health but also his confidence and overall well-being. Definitely recommend!

The staff are very knowledgeable, caring and patient. We started doing therapy at home around 3 years ago and I have built my confidence enough to now attend the gym. I have come a long way with my fitness and physical ability and am now able to walk a much longer distance than when I first started. I would highly recommend the staff of Community Neuro Rehab Service for Physio, Exercise Physiology and OT needs.
Natasha R.
Professional friendly staff to have in your home. Who are all very highly knowledgeable of their profession and always explain everything well to you and above all are very caring people.

I highly recommend Community Neuro Rehab service. Richard Deutsch and his team do amazing work. My husband has dementia and recently had a stroke. He has worked with Richard, another physio, and an OT. I am very grateful for their expertise.

Excellent services, informative and professional. Richard and his team bring a wide and in-depth range of knowledge which are proven and practical. Would highly recommend especially for disability physiotherapy.

I highly recommend the Community Neuro Rehab services. We have been very happy with the service this company has provided. The girls are friendly, cooperative and compassionate to my Mother’s needs. The time and effort they have put in to helping my Mother to get her balance back plus more has been excellent, and the fruits of their efforts are showing.
