Living with Parkinson’s disease can affect movement, daily routines, confidence and participation in different ways. Mind & Body Support provides personalised Parkinson’s disease support across Melbourne, helping people stay active, maintain independence, participate in their community and continue doing the everyday activities that matter to them.Our support is shaped around the individual, their abilities, preferences and changing goals.
Parkinson’s disease can affect much more than movement. Changes in mobility, balance, coordination, energy levels and confidence can influence everyday activities at home and in the community.
At Mind & Body Support, we provide personalised support for people living with Parkinson’s disease across Melbourne. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we get to know the person, understand the areas where support would make everyday life easier and develop practical assistance around their individual goals.
Our services can include personal training, fitness and wellness programs, community access and transport, assistance with daily life, capacity building and life skills, social and recreational support, in-home assistance and collaborative support alongside families and allied health professionals.
Whether the goal is to remain active, maintain everyday routines, get out into the community or feel more confident completing daily activities, our team provides patient, respectful and adaptable support.
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological condition, but every person experiences it differently. Symptoms and support needs can also change over time or fluctuate throughout the day.
For some people, changes in movement, balance or coordination may make everyday tasks more difficult. Others may experience fatigue, reduced confidence getting out into the community or changes that affect their ability to complete familiar routines independently.
We take the time to understand how Parkinson’s disease affects the individual rather than making assumptions based on their diagnosis.
By working with the participant, their family, carers and other professionals involved in their care, we can adapt support as their circumstances and goals change.
Consistency can be particularly valuable when someone is managing changing mobility, energy levels and everyday capabilities.
Depending on the participant’s needs, our team may adapt support by:
Our aim is to provide the right level of assistance without unnecessarily taking over tasks the participant can continue doing themselves.
