Rehabilitation Programs
Hydrotherapy
Our heated magnesium indoor hydrotherapy pool is an integral part of our rehabilitation program. Hydrotherapy provides buoyancy and assists with reducing pain, helps to strengthen muscles, increases movement and improves walking ability.
Parkinson’s @ Mackay
This program was developed by specialist neurological physiotherapists and is designed specifically for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
This is a revolutionary exercise program for people newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Traditionally, this population has been overlooked by allied health services, often until it is too late to make significant changes.
Recent evidence shows very clearly that not only is early intervention very effective in improving quality of life, mobility and confidence, it has the potential to slow progression of the condition and improve functional mobility.
The program encourages participants to focus on challenging the mind and body to improve movement and delay the onset of the severe symptoms of the disease. It works by tapping into the brain’s ability to retrai n itself by driving neuroplastic change.

Mental Health Treatments and Programs
Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Depression & Anxiety Program (CBT)
The Cognitive Behaviour Therapy program helps you to identify how your current thoughts and behaviours affect you. CBT recognises that events from the past help shape the way people think and behave. It does not dwell on past events but aims to find solutions on how to change your current thoughts and behaviours, so you can function better in the future.
