I work with older Australians accessing a range of funding pathways, including the Support at Home program (formerly Home Care Package) and private funding.
Every treatment plan is developed in close consultation with the client, their family or carer, and the broader care team to ensure therapy is practical, goal-directed and aligned with the person’s daily life.
Aged care physiotherapy is physiotherapy tailored specifically to the needs and goals of older Australians. It focuses on practical outcomes; improving balance, reducing falls risk, maintaining mobility and strength, and supporting older adults to continue doing the everyday activities that matter to them.
It is tailored to the specific needs of each individual with a personalized goal-oriented target. For example, does the patient need big improvements such as learning to walk again, or is it small fine movements that need correction? This will be determined by trained neurological physiotherapists on an initial visit.
The brain is able to both lose and form new connections, a phenomenon called neuroplasticity. Neuro Physiotherapy is different from traditional physiotherapy in that it takes advantage of this phenomenon, helping the brain to form new synaptic connections. In effect, it rewires the brain to learn or re-learn tasks and abilities.
Neuro rehabilitation is a specialist branch of physiotherapy dedicated to improving the function of patients who have suffered physical impairment caused by neurological conditions. Any neurological condition that affects movement and physical ability can be treated using neurophysiotherapy.
Some common conditions in which this is useful include:
Community Orthopaedic Physiotherapy brings post-surgical recovery, fracture healing, and mobility rehabilitation directly to your home. It eliminates the stress of travel after procedures like joint replacements, providing tailored strength programs, gait training, and safety assessments in your own environment.

Post-Op orthopaedic rehabilitation aims to:

Hands-on techniques such as joint mobilisation, massage, and dry needling to reduce muscle tension and improve circulation.
I offer individualised physiotherapy treatment for:
My musculoskeletal examination includes a posture assessment, measurement of joint movement, joint and muscle palpation, tests of muscle length and strength, ligament stability tests and nerve function tests to help diagnose your condition. I take into consideration findings from your investigations (eg x-ray, MRI, ultrasound).
I discuss your diagnosis, answer your questions and together with you make a treatment plan designed to relieve pain and to restore movement. During your rehabilitation you will learn about your condition and learn exercises and strategies to facilitate recovery and to help manage your condition in the long term as well as prevent future episodes of your problem.
