Welcome.
Welcome and thank you for choosing Belinda Breust Mobile Physiotherapy. This service provides a very convenient home visit service, as well as clinic appointments, that is both professional and affordable, and I look forward to helping you achieve your goals.
What you need
•Dressed appropriately in comfortable, clothing that enables the physiotherapist to observe your form and allow you flexibility to move and change position.
• If you are having a Dance Assessment, ballet attire is appropriate, but please wear footless/open toe tights to enable me to visualize the foot
• Orthotics or any other device/support that you typically use or wear.
• Any investigations related to your physiotherapy issue, reports and/or images are useful.
The Initial Assessment
Once consent is provided, assessment can begin. The assessment consists of a history and an objective examination and will last 40-45 minutes. The history involves your physiotherapist questioning you about your injury or issue, how it impacts your daily function, and what your treatment goals are. The objective examination involves your physiotherapist observing how you move, testing your strength, and evaluating specific tests for your injured or affected area. Afterwards, a provisional diagnosis is made an explanation as to how physio can help and any initial treatment strategies as time allows.
Treatment Sessions
Treatment sessions typically last from 30-35mins. Your physiotherapist wants to be able to address as much of your condition as possible, but in cases of multiple conditions or issues, you should advise your therapist, as a longer consult may be necessary. Treatments may consist of mobilisation, soft tissue massage, strapping, cupping, needling etc, whatever is deemed most appropriate at the time. Advice and education is a key component as are home exercises, self-management strategies, and modification of aggravating activities.
Fees
Please see fee schedule attached. Please notes there is a small travel cost of $1 per km, for those that live outside a 10km radius of Thorneside.
I look forward to helping you through your pain and mobility issues. Please do not hesitate to contact me prior to your appointment if you have any further questions.
