Orla Hares 14679
Neurological conditions change how your body moves, but they don’t have to define what you can do. Orla’s job is to help you move better, regain confidence and stay independent.
With over 20 years’ experience and as the founder of Gaitway Neurophysio, Orla specializes in neurological rehabilitation for people living with Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, stroke, head injury and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). Whether you’re recovering from a recent event or managing a long-term condition, she builds a plan around your goals, not a generic program.
Her expertise runs deep. Orla holds NDT training certifications, is a licensed PD Warrior provider, and is also certified in LSVT BIG and PWR!Moves, evidence-based approaches that use neuroplasticity to retrain the brain and body to move more effectively.
Orla is also an active researcher and educator. She has completed two clinical trials, including Canadian research on photobiomodulation with exercise for people with Parkinson’s. One trial is published, the second is being written up, and a third project is underway. As an Adjunct Professor at McMaster University’s School of Rehabilitation Sciences, she is a clinical educator to Master of Physiotherapy students and provides placement opportunities for Kinesiology students. Staying at the forefront of research and teaching means the care you receive is current, evidence-based and always evolving.
When you book with Orla, you get senior-level expertise, clear explanations and a hands-on, goal-focused approach.
Not sure if it’s the right fit? Call for a free conversation and she’ll tell you honestly how she can help.
