What our clients are saying about us…
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!

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!

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 🙏🙏🙏

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 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.

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.

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
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 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.
Sue P.
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.

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.

Been seeing Richard and Tiffany for Physiotherapy and Allied Health Assistant services. They’ve been great to work with and would highly recommend them.
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 🐿
K R
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.
Linda Dix
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.

What is Allied Health Assistance?
Allied health assistance is a healthcare support role. Allied health assistants complete certificate-level training which enables them to work under the direction of a university-qualified allied health professional. They perform various duties that revolve around caring for people and helping allied health professionals. In neurological rehabilitation , AHAs often support people to complete their therapy programs.
Some allied health assistants have completed additional study, such as massage training. Our senior allied health assistant Tiffany has over 10 years’ experience as a registered nurse, so she brings a wide range of skills to her role.
Is Allied Health Assistance right for me?
For many people with neurological conditions, working with an allied health assistant is a cost-effective way to use your funding. Your AHA can see you regularly to assist you with your program. Your allied health professional can check in to update it or to deal with any concerns.
Here’s what working with an allied health assistant at CNRS can look like.
Getting to know each other
Your health journey is a partnership, and setting clear, achievable goals is a key part of our collaborative process. During our initial conversations, we will work together to identify short-term and long-term objectives. Whether it’s improving mobility, managing a chronic condition, or enhancing overall well-being, your goals will guide our approach to your care.
Building a roadmap for success
Your allied health professional will work with you to create a personalised plan for reaching your goals and pass your therapeutic program on to your allied health assistant. You might do some joint sessions together to begin with. Your sessions might be weekly, fortnightly or monthly, with the frequency changed as needed. Your AHA can see you in our Buderim clinic or at home, the pool, or gym. If our AHA has any concerns about your health or progress, they’ll let your therapist know.
Your goal is our purpose
Our allied health assistants will do all they can to help you reach your goals. They’ll work closely with you to make sure you work hard enough to get the benefit, without pushing you too hard.
As part of your therapy team, our AHAs will support you to achieve what matters – from staying steady on your feet at home to getting out into the Sunshine Coast’s beautiful bush and beaches.
