About of Brooke S. Adair

Brooke S. Adair is a Physiatrist based in Fitzroy, VIC. Her practice is located at 17 Young Street, Fitzroy, VIC 3065, Australia. Physiatrists help people live better day to day by looking at movement, pain, and function, and working out practical ways to support recovery and everyday goals.


In many cases, Brooke looks after people who live with long-term movement and muscle conditions. This can include cerebral palsy and types of spasticity, such as spastic diplegia and spastic paraplegia. Spasticity can make muscles feel tight, cause stiffness, and affect walking, posture, and daily tasks. Treatment often aims to reduce the tightness where possible and improve comfort and function.


People may seek help for issues like muscle tightness, changes in mobility, pain that comes from movement problems, and trouble with balance or coordination. Over time, symptoms can shift, and the plan may need to be adjusted as goals change. Brooke’s approach stays focused on what matters in real life: getting through school, work, or home routines with less strain, and making movement feel safer and more confident.


Care can also include working through specific muscle patterns and how they show up in movement. At times, this means looking closely at how someone stands, walks, transfers from chair to bed, or manages daily stretching and movement. The goal is to support better movement habits and reduce the day-to-day impact of spasticity.


Brooke works with patients and families to make plans that fit around the person’s routine. That might involve discussing treatment options, setting clear goals, and coordinating with other health professionals when needed. The aim is to keep things practical and realistic, not just theory on paper.


For some people, symptom changes can happen gradually, so follow-up matters. Brooke helps review what’s working, what isn’t, and what might be tried next to improve comfort and function. When progress is small, it can still be meaningful. When things flare up, the plan can be updated, rather than ignored.


If you’re looking for a physiatry clinic in Fitzroy for conditions linked to spasticity and cerebral palsy, Brooke S. Adair can provide a calm, focused way to manage symptoms and plan the next steps.
