At Making Strides
, we're redefining neurological rehabilitation through innovation, education, and genuine connection. With clinics located in
Burleigh Heads

Ormeau
, we provide a space where individuals with spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions can train, set goals, and see what's possible—supported by a team that truly cares.
We're currently looking for a

on-site training in manual handling techniques
, so you can confidently work with clients who present with a wide range of physical needs, mobility levels, and assistive equipment.

Holistic, Person-Centred Care
: Our treatment model integrates massage therapy with adaptive exercise and manual therapy to ensure whole-person care.
Room to Grow
: Begin with a part-time caseload and build toward a full-time role, with support from an experienced team.
Collaborative Practice
