About of Paula Bray

Paula Bray is a Neurologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. She helps people who are dealing with nerve and muscle related issues, as well as some movement problems. Neurology can feel a bit confusing at first, so the aim is usually to make things clear and practical, one step at a time.


In her practice, Paula looks after patients with conditions such as Becker muscular dystrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy. She also supports people with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, where nerves in the legs and feet can affect strength, feeling, and balance. At times, symptoms can start slowly, and that is often when people need good explanations and steady follow up.


Paula also works with people who have cramp-fasciculation syndrome. This can include frequent muscle twitching and cramps, and it can be stressful day to day. Another group she sees includes patients with infantile axonal neuropathy, which affects children and can cause delays in movement and development. For families, getting the right support early matters.


Movement disorders are another part of the work. That might include issues where a person’s movements are hard to control, or where the pattern of movement is different from usual. Paula can also be involved when a diagnosis needs careful sorting, especially if symptoms overlap with other nerve or muscle problems.


There are also other neurological and connective tissue related conditions that can bring people in. For example, she has experience with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), which can show up in different ways across the body. She also sees people with transient tic disorder, where movements or sounds can come and go, often changing over time.


Paula Bray’s practice is based in Sydney, so local patients can attend appointments without too much hassle. Over time, many people find it helps to have someone who understands both the symptoms and the day to day impact. When things are still being worked out, she focuses on sorting what is happening, what might be going on, and what can be done next.
