21.01.2022 What is Physiotherapy and how can it help you? The physiotherapy field specialises in the assessment and treatment of people in pain. This can range from back or neck pain to recovering from surgery or neurological conditions. There isn't many conditions where movement restriction or issues with pain can't be resolved or managed with physiotherapy. Physiotherapists are able to diagnose and treat a wide variety of conditions, using a number of different treatment styles. Thes...e treatments can include but are not limited to: 1. Remedial massage 2. Dry needling 3. Exercise prescription (both strength and flexibility) 4. Manual therapy (manipulation or movement of joints) 5. Education of the injury and how best to manage it. This plays a massive role in our treatment. Not being proactive and moving in most cases is the worst thing you can do. Most people are now off work or are working from home. Now is the time to be proactive and get those niggles addressed before they become life long issues. If you are worried about the cost, book in with a doctor and check your eligibility for a 'care plan'. You may be entitle you 5 sessions with a Medicare rebate. The doctors and nurses at Coastal Health Medical Centre are now doing these via telehealth where able. Not all physiotherapy practices will be bulk billed, but at More for Movement we have been bulk billing these since August 2018 and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Our belief is that everyone should have access to health care regardless of their current situation.

13.01.2022 Physiotherapist clinics and gyms alike are adapting or folding in the current pandemic. At this point we think it's more important than ever to listen to our clients. So we wanted to reach out and ask our clients and the community for their opinion. Physiotherapy is one of the professions that is considered to be 'essential' at this point. The rationale from the government is that anyone who a physiotherapist can help to manage their pain without a trip to emergency, is one l...ess presentation to an already over crowded medical system. The feedback we are receiving is that patients are hesitant to attend appointments within a medical centre. Currently we are open 5 days a week, working out of both Coastal Health Medical Centres. Whist every government regulation is being abided by and no patients with COVID-19 are being seen or treated by the doctors or physiotherapists, it continues to be a concern moving forward. Our questions for you are: 1. Would you feel more comfortable being treated offsite at a private residence? Or in the comfort of your own home? 2. Telehealth has been released for allied health, where over zoom or other supporting programs a physiotherapist can conduct a consult, prescribing exercises, activity modification and diagnose injuries via a video chat on your phone or laptop. Please comment below or private message us with your preferences or suggestions. All comments and opinions are appreciated and respected.

04.01.2022 We are getting a lot of calls after every government announcement from confused and concerned clients. As of the 25/03/2020, there has been little impact on the operation of physiotherapists. The point of this post is to bring clarity to the community and reassure clients that we taking all possible precautions to protect both our staff and clients. Infection control measures:... 1. All patients are to have their temperature taken when checking in with reception. Any patients with a temperature of 37.8 or greater with any common signs or symptoms of COVID - 19 will be asked to reschedule and will not be seen until cleared by a GP 2. All massage tables, desks, seats and doors are wiped down with anti-bacterial wipes between every patient. 3. We are asking all patients to leave their family at home when this is an option. If you have a child in your care or require a carer to get to and from appointments there are options for you just reception know when making your appointment. Alternate Treatment Options. The government have provided us with the resources to introduce telehealth to our practice. This means that we can utilise smart phones and/or computers to deliver a modified service that still includes education, exercise prescription, general movement assessments and motivation/support. - Currently this is only available to workers compensation and CTP/Third party patients. - We are expecting an announcement by the end of this week or early next week that medicare and private health insurance will allocating funding for telehealth. Please continue to follow us for updates and feel free to ask us any questions you may have. We will be starting to post regular updates as we receive the information. To book an appointment or ask any questions you can call us on (02) 4347 9474 between 9am - 5.30pm Monday - Friday The team at More for Movement thank everyone for their support and understanding in these tough times.
