25.01.2022 Rivervale Physiotherapy Cleaning and Sterilisation Policy: RIVERVALE PHYSIOTHERAPY holds the health and safety of our local community, patients and staff as our highest priority. We have always operated at extremely high standards of staff hygiene and clinic sterilisation but in these difficult times we feel it is important to operate above normal practice procedures. This will allow our patients continued access to their healthcare without any additional worry. On top of our... already stringent cleaning policies and patient screening we will be: - Cleaning and sterilising all common areas, doorhandles and surfaces in the clinic 4 times a day; - Stop using bed covers to allow sterilisation of all surfaces our patients comes into contact with in the treatment room before and after every patient treatment; - Utilise single patient use disposable paper covers over pillows and beds; - All physio staff will perform clinical standard hand washing at the start and end of each individual physiotherapy session; - All reception staff will utilise hand sanitiser after all patient interactions and hand sanitiser will be available to all patients; - We request patients pay using cards; - And we will continue to screen all patients for any overseas travel (including members of their household) and any symptoms of cold and flu. If you have any questions please contact management directly: Felicity Kermode [email protected]

24.01.2022 WE ARE STILL OPEN! To our valued clients . WE ARE STILL OPEN! OUR PHYSIOTHERAPY CLINIC REMAINS OPEN FOR BUSINESS. ... The government has acknowledged that physiotherapy is important to maintain health in our community, thus helping minimise the load on the hospital system. Your familys health continues to remain our top priority and we ask that during these difficult times, you continue to prioritise it as well. HEALTH IS TRUE WEALTH! PUBLIC SAFETY All of the sanitisation features that we have implemented (above and beyond government requirements) continue to be employed, and as a consequence we pride ourselves in the knowledge that our practice is considerably safer than almost any other business that people are still allowed to frequent. AT-RISK PATIENT APPOINTMENT TIMES With our social distancing measures and appointment staggering, it is quite likely that the only people you will encounter during your visit will be our front desk staff and your practitioner. However, arrangements can be made for people to be seen at quiet times within clinic hours. If youre unsure as to whether your condition warrants treatment, you are welcome to phone before you make an appointment. TELEHEALTH APPOINTMENTS Our telehealth services are up and running. You can speak face to face with your Physio online and have a virtual assessment performed. Your Physio will advise you on self management and email you through an individualised exercise and management plan. SLOWING THE SPREAD and SURVIVING THE CRISIS It is clear that the government expects many of the current changes to remain in place for a considerable amount of time. We are a small business and we ask for your continued support during these tough economic times. We understand the challenges faced by virtually everyone in the community financially and will endeavour to accommodate any patients who have financial concerns regarding their treatment on a case by case basis. Additionally, your GP can provide you with a Chronic Health Management Programme referral, formerly EPC, which will allow you to have five government-funded visits, within a year, for a specified service if deemed necessary. (To be eligible you need to have had a muscle or joint problem for at least 3 months). We are all in this together, so if we can help you in any way, feel free to contact us. From Your Physio Team!

21.01.2022 WE ARE STILL OPERATING The Prime Minister Scott Morrison last night made a decision to make further closures. However, Physiotherapy Services are to remain OPEN. We have an important role to play to take pressure off the already overloaded medical system. The West Australian has INCORRECTLY reported that physiotherapy clinics are among the services to close temporarily. This is not the case. We continue to maintain strict hygiene policies and screening those who are unwell and/or those who have recently traveled. All surfaces are cleaned before and after every contact, and we are also available for Telehealth appointments from today. We will continue to monitor government advice and thank you for your continuing support.

09.01.2022 Why is it important to have mobile shoulders? -The shoulder is a very complex and important joint. Not only is it important in your t...raining for any sporting participation, but it is important in everyday activities. Your shoulder can move in multiple planes of motion and perform multiple functions so any sort of limitation can potentially be uncomfortable and may even cause injury But what makes shoulder mobility so important? How can you tell if your shoulders are adequately mobile and how do you address it if they arentWithout getting too technical, first lets talk about the general importance of shoulder mobility. When considering shoulder mobility you need to understand that good shoulder mobility also requires adequate stability or control of the scapula. Without a stable scapula, impingement can occur and your shoulder mobility and health could be compromised. But if your shoulders have too much stability, meaning they are too stiff, it can restrict your range of motion, affecting your ability to perform a wide variety of common movements in and outside of the gym. You NEED good shoulder mobility and controlled mobility to safely and effectively perform a large majority of movement and weight bearing exercises. There needs to be a good balance of stability and strength within your shoulder. Having both will help improve your movement quality and comfort and help keep you from potentially injuring your shoulder when exercising. Its a good idea to see your Physiotherapist for an assessment of shoulder and spinal stability and strength before commencing a new exercise program. How you perceive how you move may not actually be ideal, as you may not notice poor mobility and movement control patterns. Whether you have loose or stiff shoulders, or if they are already moving well, you should consistently monitor this. Poor mobility needs to be improved, while great mobility should be maintained! Stay tuned as Move Well Physiotherapy will post simple shoulder mobility exercises weekly, that you can add into your current program #movewelleveryday #shoulderhealth @rivervalephysiotherapy @_coreyevans
