Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists assess and treat people with musculoskeletal, neurological and cardiothoracic conditions to facilitate normal movement and function.
Residential aged care assessment and treatment occurs on referral from Medical Practitioners and staff within the unit. Residents are also assessed annually for mobility and dexterity and when individual treatment is required.
Acute patients are referred by their GP or Specialist for treatment in particular following Orthopaedic Surgery
There is also an extensive Outpatient service provided where a referral is not necessary.
The Physiotherapy Department works in conjunction with other staff to conduct health promotion and community health programs such as The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program providing education for people after a heart event or as a preventative measure and the Falls Prevention Program which implements strategies to minimise the risk of falling.
