Glen A. Lichtwark is a physiatrist working from Level 5, Building 26B, Blair Drive, Brisbane, QLD 4072. In simple terms, he focuses on helping people with day to day movement problems and ongoing pain, especially when muscles feel tight or spastic. That might be from long term conditions, or it can show up as new discomfort that needs a clear plan.
His work often involves people living with cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia of the infantile type. These are conditions that can affect walking, balance, posture, and comfort. At times, symptoms can change over the years, so the approach needs to stay practical and realistic. He also looks after people dealing with acute pain, and he helps manage spasticity, which can make muscles feel stiff or hard to move.
In many cases, treatment is about more than just pain relief. It can be about improving function, making movement easier, and helping patients and families cope with what’s going on. That can mean talking through triggers for flare ups, considering what happens during daily activities, and figuring out what support makes the biggest difference. Over time, small adjustments can matter a lot, especially when stiffness and pain affect sleep, school, work, or home life.
Glen brings a calm, grounded style to appointments. The goal is usually to keep things clear and workable, not overly complicated. If you’re dealing with spasticity or pain, it helps to have someone who understands how these issues can affect the body day after day. He aims to make sure care is focused on the person’s needs, and on the outcomes that matter to them.
