Bobath.
We believe the Bobath Concept is the most effective way to treat neurological conditions. Our goal is to increase balance, decrease effort and maximize comfort in all aspects of physical mobility and performance.
“The Bobath concept is the most widely used neuro-rehabilitation approach worldwide, and considers the impact of the neurological condition on the whole person within their individual context. The clinical application of the Bobath concept focuses on movement analysis with respect to selective movement, postural control and the role of sensory information to develop a movement diagnosis guiding treatment and evaluation” (IBITA)
The owners of Neuro-Ability are both Advanced Bobath Instructors teaching this specialist rehabilitation approach to Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists across Canada and around the globe.

Years in Business.
Members of our team have provided neuro-rehabilitation in Vancouver since 1991. The origins of Neuro-Ability date back to 1996 when one therapist treated clients in their home. From here it grew to a small practice located on Broadway before relocating to Fraser street then Kingsway in 2019. Through each move the practice has expanded in size and depth of therapist’s experience.
Neuro-Ability has been offering physiotherapy to clients in the lower mainland with neurological conditions for over 25 years.
Meaningful Activities.
Our focus is to enhance quality of life by assisting our clients to return to meaningful roles within their home, social setting, recreation and workplace.
We are committed to empowering our clients, and to ensuring that all decision-making is in your best interest at all times.
Hands On.
We know that any neurological condition impacts your lifestyle and confidence. You know the road to recovery is slow with many challenges along the way. Recovery involves hard work requiring practice and challenging activities such as walking, standing, reaching.
Our treatment is an individualised, specific, ‘hands on’ interaction demanding an active response.
We believe this gives you the best chance to realize your potential whether this includes regaining your role in the home or workplace, returning to driving, social or recreational activities.
Team Approach.
As we work together within the clinic, we are able to share ideas, work in pairs with our patients if needed, and support and learn from each other so that we can be a great ‘problem solving’ team for you in your recovery.
As a team we combine clinical expertise related to a large variety of neurological conditions across the continuum of care from the acute stage to many years later.
We recognize the importance of liaising with different community team members and providing rehabilitation in a variety of settings such as the clinic, home, gym, and community centre.
“She (the therapist) treats you like you are part of the team, working with you, not just on you.”

Our clinic houses a Woodway Body Weight Support Treadmill. This is used by our physiotherapists for treatment as well as our rehabilitation assistant who oversees an exercise programme developed by the physiotherapist to focus on cardiothoracic health and / or balance.
