Community
Our expert physiotherapists provide community-based services to those that can’t attend clinic or hospital appointments, or simply prefer services in their own home or a place that is convenient for them.
How we can help you
We provide a range of services and support for people living in the community across the Sydney and Wollongong area. Click below to find out more about the services we offer.
Home-based Physiotherapy
Our home-based physiotherapy service is a flexible service that comes to you, whether it be your own home, your workplace, or in the local park. We believe you can get just as good a result with a home-based service as you would with a clinic-based service. We’ll provide expert advice, education and therapeutic exercises to help you reach your goals. For all exercises we prescribe, we make sure they can be practiced on their own, without the need for fancy equipment, so you can continue on with your rehabilitation independently.
Hydrotherapy
Our hydrotherapy service is a great way to help improve movement and function with the support of being in water. We can provide these sessions at your local swimming pool with the aim to give you an exercise program that can be practised on its own. Water-based exercise can assist anyone, from those that can not normally weight-bear on land, to elite sports people recovering from injury or surgery.
Strengthening and exercise program prescription
Exercise rehabilitation is at the heart of who we are and we think we are pretty good at it. We can provide you with exercise programs to complete at home, at work, in the park, at the beach or at your local gym!!! Our expert physiotherapist can design specific exercise programs to get you moving, improve your health… and improve your life.
Mobility aid prescription
Mobility assessments and equipment prescription can be a simple but highly effective way to have a considerable positive impact on a person’s quality of life. Our experienced physiotherapists can prescribe you with mobility aids such as walking frames and transfer equipment and give you advice on where to purchase them. We are more than happy to work with Occupational Therapists and equipment suppliers in a collaborative approach to help you reach your goals.
Neurological rehabilitation
We have extensive experience and understanding of neurological problems, how it can affect a person and those close to them, and how best to rehabilitate and manage the conditions into the future. We’ll help improve your physical health and also work closely with family members, carers and other healthcare professionals to coordinate treatment and help you reach your goals.
Orthopaedic rehabilitation
Our experienced physiotherapists are highly skilled in providing post-operative orthopaedic rehabilitation. Rehabilitation following surgeries such as joint replacements or reconstructions can often take several months… sometimes years to fully recover from. We’ll provide you with a rehabilitation program from start to finish, that focuses on you reaching your goals.
Polytrauma rehabilitation
Polytrauma usually refers to people who have been severely injured with two or more significant traumatic injuries. Multiple orthopaedic fractures and neurological injury are commonly linked with polytrauma, often following an accident. These problems can significantly interfere with a person’s ability to perform everyday ordinary tasks. We can help assist people with multiple and complex issues to get moving again. Our highly experienced physiotherapists typically combine elements such as functional exercise, strength and conditioning and education to help you reach your goals and maximise recovery.
Our stories
Getting Sam started on his shoulder rehab
Sam called Move Healthcare as he needed physio to help start him on his rehabilitation following shoulder surgery. Unfortunately for Sam, he was unable to drive to his local physio clinic following his surgery and he was also worried about having appointments out in the community due to the Covid-19 outbreak, so he used our home-based physiotherapy service to get him moving.
Our experienced physios were able to get Sam going on the right path with his rehabilitation with some home-based physiotherapy and an exercise program. Sam was that impressed with the results that even when he was able to drive he decided to stick with our home-based service to complete his rehab.
Our expert physios will always give their clients a home exercise program to follow. Sam is the classic example that if you diligently follow your prescribed home exercise program you can get great outcomes and reach your goals.
