Your goals create the foundation for which our physiotherapists will assess you, and create a therapy plan for. These can be short- or long-term goals and should help you maintain or improve your participation in daily life.
-
Choose your frequency: weekly, fortnightly, monthly, or as needed.
Choose your location: home, gym, pool, park, centres, and more.
Choose your therapy modality: exercise therapy, hydrotherapy, tailored home programs, community mobility practice, and more.

-
Our therapists understand that life gets busy and therapy takes time! We will try our best to structure appointments around your schedule and integrate and therapy routines into daily life. We can work with your support networks to help facilitate programs, and can provide tele-health services for those quick check-ins.
-
People change, and so do your goals. Ongoing assessments allow your therapists to see the effectiveness of implemented therapy and achievement of your goals. Whether you smash your goals, or they become no longer meaningful, we will work with you to set new goals and implement a new plan to achieve them.

FAQs
-
Physiotherapy is an allied-health profession that treats medical conditions, injuries, and disabilities with physical therapies.
Physiotherapists have extensive knowledge of human anatomy, with a specialised emphasis on the body's movement and mobility. Physiotherapists must receive formal qualifications and be registered with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to practice within Australia.
-
Physiotherapists deliver targeted interventions to restore or maintain function to maximise a person’s independence and quality of life. This can help individuals continue to participate in activities of daily living, maintain their social and community engagement, and continue to enjoy sporting or recreational activities of interest.
-
The primary form of physiotherapy intervention involves land or aquatic-based exercise therapy aimed at maintaining the function of body systems. Physiotherapy also includes assessment and prescription of equipment such as mobility or transfer aids to help people stay mobile.
Physiotherapists can provide recommendations to maintain the safety of individuals who cannot walk and require special positioning, manual handling, and pressure care advice.
-
It is recommended to seek physiotherapy services if you are experiencing any physical limitations to your normal movement, mobility, function, or ability to complete activities of daily living. This may present as difficulties sitting upright, standing, walking, reaching, grasping, and moving. Signs can also include falling (or almost falling) over frequently, abnormal fatigue, difficulty stretching muscles or joints, or chronic pain.
-
Your first physiotherapy session will include an assessment of your physical ability alongside your goals. Following this, your physiotherapist will develop a therapy plan and work with you over subsequent sessions to implement it. Physiotherapy sessions may include interventions such as exercise therapy, equipment assessments, and implementation of clinical training to care teams if required.
-
Your first physiotherapy session will be an assessment which typically ranges from 1.5-2 hours and can be spread over 1-2 sessions.
Subsequent therapy sessions typically last for 1 hour, however, they can be shorter or longer depending on your needs and recommendations from your physiotherapist.
-
The number of physiotherapy sessions will depend on your goals, needs, and funding available. Your physiotherapist will discuss a plan with you in your first few sessions.
