Post Surgical Rapid Recovery

Getting to the clinic after surgery can be difficult, we work closely with your GP and surgeon to ensure your progress is optimised in the comfort of your home. We use innovative technology to measure joint mobility and muscle strength, improving patient motivation and outcomes and keeping you on track for rapid recovery.

Home Care Packages (Support In The Home Program).

Care packages are for those aged 65 and over that have chronic or complex health conditions impacting their everyday life. Supports that are provided are intended to keep the participant living in their home and independent. We specialise in treatment that improves mobility & movement disorders, improve balance & posture, relieve pain & stiffness, slow physical decline and reduce falls risk. It is our goal to have every client feeling as good as they possibly can, whist focusing on their independence as an outcome. This program will eventually be replaced by a new streamlined “Support in the home Program” from 2024. We will provide more information when it is made available.
