ACTION FOR THE AGEING

Our physiotherapists help ageing clients, living at home or in an Aged Care facility, take steps towards maintaining independence and living with freedom and confidence.

Our dedicated team of experienced mobile physiotherapists have years of practice working with ageing clients so they know what it takes to get results.

We believe that early intervention is essential to reduce the effects of ageing. Starting treatment early and maintaining mobility is key to better outcomes for our clients.

Our physiotherapists will complete a comprehensive initial assessment and develop a rehabilitation plan to help each client achieve their goals. We listen carefully to each client to understand what is most important to them. We then work together to make sure their goals can be successfully achieved. So, whether it’s cooking their own meals, walking around the garden or meeting friends, we work together to make it happen.

Seeing clients in their own homes allows us to see what challenges daily living may pose. It gives us a unique opportunity to create functional exercise programs.  This helps them to remain safe and confident to continue living at home. We tailor our exercise programs with a focus on maintaining strength, balance and mobility, and respiratory fitness.

An important part of treatment and rehabilitation is to overcome issues associated with isolation and loneliness. Putting a smile on the faces of our clients is all part of our treatment success. Your loved ones will be in safe hands with us.

How we involve the family and carers

Involving family members and carers whenever possible, helps ensure that the client gets the most from their treatment plan. Maintaining mobility and strength by practicing new exercises and techniques between sessions helps to get the most out of treatment.

Getting to know our clients and what their interests and motivations are is integral to the success of their treatments. We make meaningful connections by tapping into their love of music, outdoors, stories of the past and family.
