Homecare physiotherapy


We specialise in providing physiotherapy care to clients in their place of residence, whether that be at their home or aged care facility. Our Physiotherapists are experts in managing a wide range of acute and chronic conditions which affect movement, function, and independence. We provide a range of physiotherapy services through a patient-centred lens that ensures all clients have the best possible opportunity to achieve their goals. Services include: We understand accepting the use of an aid can be difficult and so our consultations are very much tailored around our patient's needs and goals.  If an aid is required, we will work with you on choosing the most appropriate aid, helping guide your selection to best suit your lifestyle.

Post-operative rehabilitation

Many operative procedures require physiotherapy to regain full strength, range of joint movement and function following surgery. Common conditions we treat post-operatively include total hip and knee replacements, post-fracture and general surgical conditions. Being seen by a physiotherapist promptly is associated with good long-term outcomes.

Strengthening programs following hospital admission

Did you know that bed rest in older adults often results in a significant decline in lower limb strength, power and aerobic capacity. 35% of older people discharged from hospital have a decline in their functional ability compared to when they were admitted. Our team works with clients to regain what was lost during their hospital rehabilitation so that they can best manage their goals and day-to-day requirements.

Cardio-pulmonary rehabilitation and management

Common cardio-pulmonary conditions we see include:

Chronic disease management

Long term disease and chronic pain will invariably have an adverse effect on a person’s lifestyle. Conditions such as diabetes and osteoarthritis, among others, can be managed better with an appropriate program devised by a physiotherapist consisting of appropriate exercise and learning self-management strategies.

Incontinence management

Nearly 4.8 million Australians over the age of 15, including 1 in 3 women, and 1 in 10 men suffer from incontinence. The proportion of Women suffering is higher in those who have had children. The proportion of Men is significantly higher in those who have had prostate or Urinary tract problems. Most people are unaware that Physiotherapists can effectively treat these problems. Indeed, Physiotherapists can treat a large number of a conditions often helping to avoid surgery. There is now a considerable amount of research to show how effective this form of treatment can be. Not only can Physiotherapists assist with continence problems, but they can also help you avoid these problems before and after Surgery and/or Pregnancy, through effective and safe exercise programs.
