Community-based Physiotherapy in Ballarat: Why we love it!
Working as physiotherapists across Ballarat and surrounds means we can practice so many things in our physiotherapy sessions!
What we love best, is adding teaching moments to your daily routine. Sit to stand practice can be from your bed, the car or your favourite chair.
Want to make your own coffee? Let's practice! We can focus on balance, upper limb exercises and endurance.
Need to feed the dog? That’s the perfect opportunity to practice walkig, standing, bending and hand control.
Sick of doing strength exercises at home? Let’s get you to the gym! We love setting gym programs that are engaging and at the right challenge level for you.
At home or in the Ballarat community, we prescribe physio exercises that will help you achieve your everyday goals.
Our Ballarat physio team works with clients aged 16 years and up, who live with a neurological condition, physical or cognitive disability or are experiencing age-related changes.
NDIS, Home Care Package, TAC or private paying referrals accepted.
You can self-refer into our services (no health professional referral required).
