I don't accept "learn to live with it." I never have.

neura rehab & performance founder

Hey, I'm Matt!

I run Neura Rehab & Performance from inside FITAZ FK Gym in Kangaroo Point, Brisbane.

When I was thirteen, my mum was diagnosed with MS. I watched a system that didn't have the time to really see her fail her, slowly, one piece at a time. That's where this started for me. Not in a textbook. At my mum's kitchen table.

Years later it happened to me. My own back went, and I got the same care she did. A few tests, a script, good luck. So I know exactly what it feels like to be handed your pain and sent home to live with it.

So I built the opposite.

At Neura you get the one thing that system never had time for. You get seen. A full hour. I want to know about your sleep, your stress, the old injury at nineteen you've half forgotten, not just where it hurts today. Then we measure. We don't guess. We put real numbers on how your body moves and where it's compensating, so your plan stands on evidence, not a hunch.

Seventeen years. McGill Method Levels 1, 2 and 3. Trained in the NeuroHab Method by Brisbane neurosurgeon Dr David Johnson. A few thousand people out the other side. The letters after my name matter far less than the hour I give you.

The first person who truly proved this to me was Jo. She fractured her spine falling from a horse, and in a hospital bed she believed there were things she'd never do again. Ordinary things. Carrying her little girl.

Twelve months later she was hauling that same girl up a bush trail on her shoulders.

"Fractured spine? Never heard of her."

Jo went from the person I was fighting for to a friend who helps me tell this story. That's Neura, in one person.

So if someone has told you this pain is just who you are now, hear it from a bloke who's watched that lie up close, twice. Your pain is real. But real pain doesn't always mean a broken body. You are not a lost cause.

And I'll prove it the honest way. The day your numbers say you no longer need me, I'll be the first to tell you. Most clinics are built to keep you. This one is built to give you your life back, and let you go.

The letters at the end of my name matter less than the hour I give you.

So if someone has told you this pain is just who you are now, hear it from a bloke who's watched that lie up close, twice. You are not a lost cause. Your pain is real, but real doesn't mean permanent, and it doesn't mean broken.

Not All Rehab is Created Equal

Three things make Neura different from what you've tried.

THE FRAMEWORK

This isn't physio, and it isn't personal training. It's a structured rehab method: settle the pain, rebuild the capacity underneath it, then build real strength on top.

Every phase ends with a retest, and the retest, not a calendar and not me, decides what comes next.

THE DATA


AxIT force-plate testing puts real numbers on how your body moves and produces force. Left versus right. What's switched off. Where you're compensating.

We baseline it on day one and retest as we go, so your progress is something you can see, not something you take on faith.

THE TIME


The one thing the system never gave my mum was time. So here you get a full hour, and a plan built around your life, not a conveyor belt.

How long you stay isn't a fixed term. This is care that stays in place for as long as it is serving you.

"Most chronic back pain isn't structural. It's a system that's lost the ability to control itself. Rebuild the system. The pain follows." — Matt Kaloutsis, founder of Neura Rehab & Performance

To be clear, your pain is real. This is not about it being "in your head." It means the problem is usually in how the system is working, not in something that's permanently broken. And a system can be retrained.

The first person who truly proved this to me was Jo. She fractured her spine falling from a horse, and in a hospital bed she believed there were things she'd never do again. Ordinary things. Carrying her little girl. Twelve months later she was hauling that same girl up a bush trail on her shoulders.

"Fractured spine? Never heard of her."

Jo went from the person I was fighting for to a friend who helps me tell this story. That's Neura, in one person.

I've done this with a few thousand people over seventeen years. Dee was told, after a rare muscle condition, that she'd never move again. She deadlifts again now. Jack had run out of options and hope with sciatica; three months later his pain had gone from eight out of ten to one.

On Google that's 149 five-star reviews, and the word that comes up again and again is "thorough."
