Physiotherapy Melbourne

Our Melbourne physiotherapists assess and treat in the places where those problems occur. We see the real stairs, the real bathroom, the real footpath, and we build programs around them. Progress is measured in things that matter: standing up unaided, getting to the letterbox, sleeping through without a fall, getting back to the walk you used to do.

Every referral is matched to a physiotherapist with relevant clinical experience, and we work collaboratively with participants, families, carers, support coordinators, GPs, specialists, support workers and other allied health clinicians.

Around one in three older Australians falls each year, and a fall is very often the event that ends independent living. Falls are also highly modifiable.

Effective falls prevention is progressive, challenging, correctly dosed balance and strength training, delivered consistently over enough weeks to change the underlying capacity — combined with gait retraining, footwear and mobility aid review, and environmental risk identification alongside our occupational therapists. We also screen for the contributors that often go unnoticed: postural blood pressure changes, vestibular symptoms, reduced walking speed and fear of falling.
