Monique Davies 🙋‍♀️

Fremantle based home visiting Physiotherapy service, specialising in Neurological Rehabilitation for Aquired Brain Injury (ABI) (including stroke, Traumatic Brain injury, brain tumours etc) and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

30/01/2026

We asked our Founder, Monique Davies and our Senior Physiotherapist, Virginia Jones: “What’s one thing you’ve stopped doing because it’s not great for brain health?”

Their answers will definitely get you thinking about your own lifestyle choices! ☝️

Some days, progress isn’t about doing more.
It’s about using what’s available and getting through the day safely.

When your brain is working overtime just to maintain balance, focus, movement, or regulation, showing up at all counts as effort.

And effort matters, because effort is how the nervous system stays engaged, adapts, and maintains function, even on days when change can’t be seen yet.

Be kind to yourself today. 🤍

Standing practice can be especially challenging for clients with neurological weakness and an intellectual disability. Not just physically, but in terms of engagement, initiation, and sustaining effort.

In this session, Monique introduced BlazePods as part of a standing intervention to support participation and motivation. By turning the task into something interactive and goal-focused, the intervention provided clear visual cues, immediate feedback, and a reason to stay engaged. 🧠

Instead of asking the client to simply try to “stand”, the activity invited movement, attention, and response.

The outcome was longer standing time, higher engagement, and more purposeful movement during the task.

This is a good example of how thoughtful intervention design and gamification can reduce barriers to participation and support functional goals for clients with complex neurological and cognitive needs.

Sometimes, changing how we ask is what makes the difference. 🙌

As we wrap up the year and head into the holiday season 🎄, we want to take a moment to say thank you.

This year has asked a lot of the disability and health community. Ongoing NDIS changes and uncertainty brought real challenges, and we know this affected many people in different ways. To our clients, families, and referrers, thank you for your patience, understanding, and trust as we navigated this together.

To Our Clients:
Thank you for trusting us and for allowing us to walk alongside you. Supporting you through complex neurological challenges is a privilege we never take lightly. Your perseverance, and courage are why we do this work 💙

To Our team:
Your work this year has been extraordinary. Your care, professionalism, and consistency, especially during a time of change, are what make The Brain Physio a safe and steady place for the people we support. 🫶

We’re also grateful for the new faces who joined us this year. Bec, thank you for bringing calm, organisation, and warmth to our admin team. Alexis, thank you for the thoughtful, client-centred care you bring to your role as an Occupational Therapist 🎉

Despite the challenges, we are incredibly proud of what we’ve built together. We’re heading into the new year with clarity, intention, and deep appreciation for the community around us!

Wishing everyone a safe, restful holiday season. 🎅
We look forward to continuing this work with you in the year ahead.

Now we are doing 180s 🤯 No stick, no help!

Andy also managed to negotiate 2 footpaths with curves, 90 degree turns and hills!! We couldn't get a video as we both had to stand very close for that but it was amazing and he didn't need any physical assistance! 🔥🛹

Watch this space as we up it a level in the new year post bone density scan and protective equipment acquisition. 💪

If you're going to skate, you're going to fall. 🛹

This takes practice to fall properly, to not injure yourself badly.

Here we are starting to practice falling on to the strong side and doing a roll motion to absorb the kinetic energy to prevent broken bones.

Next we will practice on a large trampoline area then on yoga mats on the grass (once we get the bone density scan back to ensure it is safe to do so). 🙌

If you're a skating pro we would love any feedback or suggestions to make this safer or to try. 😁

Do you train falling with your clients? 🤔

Every session... I am so impressed by Andy!

Look at this legend continuing to absolutely smash it! 🛹🎉

Yesterday I was problem solving how to replicate the lateral movement and "slip"of the skateboard when stepping on and off and steering. Something not quite as difficult as wheels, but harder than rubber tubes gripping the floor.

I decided to use a slide sheet, folded over underneath the tubes.

This is a very slippery material designed for reducing friction on the surface and is commonly used to assist to move people in the bed who cannot move themselves, but we use it a lot for therapy as well. ✨️

This was the perfect addition! 🎉 It was quite challenging but the perfect next step to continue to work toward independent skateboarding. 🛹🙌

Please note this exercise is definitely only to be done with the physio for now.

He did it!! 🎉🎉🎉

Today we did a trial run on an actual skateboard on the cycle path and Andy absolutely crushed it. 💪 He surprised us all and himself by being able to balance on the skateboard, propel himself with his hiking pole and steer to stay on the left side of the path! 🤯 He needed help stabilising the board to get on safely and we had the Gait Belt on (with safety loops to grab) just in case he was to fall or lose his balance. We also had to do a fair bit of prep work including some release on the grass as his calf and quads were quite tired from the pool yesterday. 💪
So excited to see Andy progress with his skating goal! 🎉🙌🛹
