Physical Therapy

Most gyms are staffed only by personal trainers and members of the fitness industry, who are educated and insured to only deal with apparently healthy individuals. These are people with no known injuries, illnesses or history of illness and/or injury.

Our staff that are allocated to rehabilitation patients are all university trained exercise physiologists which means that they are all specifically trained to deal with all populations beyond the "apparently Healthy" individuals.

Physical Therapy refers to the practice of providing exercise interventions that focus on the rehabilitation and management of musculoskeletal or medical conditions. We provide these interventions in conjunction with and under the advice of allied health professionals and medical professionals.

Our Physical Therapy programs include:

• Enhanced Primary Care Programs (EPC) - These are Medicare sponsored programs wher a patient receives a referral, for up to 5 visits per calander year, from their GP to our service for exercise interventions to assist with a designated chronic medical condition. The majority of the cost of the program is coverd by medicare, with a small gap fee. Chronic conditions can include diabetes, obesity, cardio-pulmonary conditions etc. We can offer a variety of home based or in-house based options for these clientele.
• Workers Comp & CTP Insurance - We provide functional restoration programs for patients injured whilst at work or on the road. Our programs are based specifically on the return to work or return to life needs of the patient, focusing on functional movements, activities, loads and stresses.
• Sporting Injuries & Conditions - We can provide exercise interventions to assist returning injured athletes and sporting people back to their sport and performing again. This includes acute traumas, post surgical rehabilitation chronic injuries and movement correction.
