Move toward your goals.
Our highly experienced Physiotherapists will support you in your journey toward recovery and maintaining your physical health.
These services are about providing the support you need for the things you want to do and preventative care to keep you safe. Your Physiotherapist will assess a range of factors; your current health, mobility, balance, movement, pain, cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal function, as well as your lifestyle to create a care plan to get you closer to your goals.
Individualised plans.
We also develop individualised treatment plans for a variety of medical conditions, including:
Neurological disorders from stroke or Parkinson’s
Cardiopulmonary diseases such as COPD or heart failure
Issues resulting from joint replacements or Arthritis
Falls prevention
As care plans are holistic and entirely personal, they look different for everyone. Your plan could include an exercise program that improves your strength and movement or regular therapeutic massages that relieve stress and tight muscles.
If necessary, your Physiotherapist can also work with your GP or other specialists to further support your journey. You do not need a referral from your doctor to access these services.
Whatever your age, ECH Wellness services are available to you on a self-funded basis. You do not need a referral from your doctor to access the services of a Physiotherapist.
If you are aged 65 years or over, you may qualify for a Home Care Package (HCP). Depending on your package, you may be able to use some of this funding to access ECH Wellness services, including Physiotherapy.
