Services

I work with older Australians accessing a range of funding pathways, including the Support at Home program (formerly Home Care Package) and private funding.

 

  • Fall prevention programs and home safety assessment 
  • Strength and balance training for everyday mobility 
  • Rehabilitation following hospitalisation, surgery or illness 
  • Chronic condition management, including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and heart conditions 
  • Pain management and functional movement programs 
  • Safe movement, transfers and positioning 
  • Exercise programs to support independence and quality of life 
  • Support for clients in residential aged care settings 
  • Coordination with Home Care Package providers and case managers 

 

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

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. 

The aim of Neuro Physiotherapy is to help rehabilitate physical impairments caused by neurological conditions as already mentioned.

 

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.

Rehabilitation

Neuro Rehabilitation

 

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:

 

  • Stroke
  • Traumatic brain Injury/head Injury
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Cerebral Palsy

Orthopedic Rehabilitation

 

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.

 

Some of the procedures provide rehabilitation for include:

 

  • Total knee and hip replacements.
  • Shoulder reconstructions/repair.
  • Back surgery.
  • Knee surgery and reconstructions.

 

Post-Op orthopaedic rehabilitation aims to:

 

  • Increase joint range of movement.
  • Increase muscle strength.
  • Improve balance, mobility and independence in activities of daily living, work and sport.

6 ways to manage chronic pain without medication
Luke Hawkins Physiotherapy for Chronic Pain Management

Chronic Pain Management

Chronic pain physiotherapy focuses on retraining an oversensitive nervous system rather than just masking symptoms. Treatment typically includes tailored exercise programs, movement retraining, manual therapy, and pain education to help you move safely, reduce flare-ups, and regain your quality of life.
 
Physiotherapy can be extremely beneficial to treat persistent or chronic pain (pain that lasts longer then 3 months) because even after tissues heal, the nervous system stays on high alert and pain signals can continue even after recovery.
 
A physiotherapist addresses this by:
Exercise Prescription: Gentle, graded movement designed to safely build strength, flexibility, and endurance without triggering severe flare-ups.

Musculoskeletal Therapy

 

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.
