LiveWise Health is making a stand to enrich lives throughout Victoria by collaborating, empowering and positively impacting the lives of senior Australians through aged care physiotherapy.
Whether you are privately funded, referred by a doctor, or with a HCP, our physiotherapists can provide:
We strive to make everyone involved an active participant, and keep them up to date via regular emails if we can!
Printouts, laminates, video progress logs - we think outside the box to get you engaged for better outcomes!
We talk in detail about what’s most important to you and collaborate with you to align our goals to yours.
We give tips and education about your condition, and help facilitate positive habits and changes outside our sessions.
We predominantly service the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne – from Glen Iris & Blackburn, down to Narre Warren. We provide mobile physiotherapy straight to your home – whether you’re living by yourself, in a community village, or in an aged care residence.
Should we need to do a functional assessment or our therapy session in the community, we can also meet you there! This can be a gym, pool, or even the local community centre.
Even if you don’t live in our usual service area, no fret! We can still come to you, no matter what tricky situation you are in!
We endeavour to contact you within 2-3 business days. We try to minimise waiting periods as much as possible, but may have to prioritise those that are at higher risk of deterioration.
Based on our current availabilities, and depending on matching our availability to yours, it typically takes around 1 week before your first physio visit.
Our initial sessions are approximately 45-minutes. We endeavour to understand your condition, struggles and your goals. If we have time, we may provide some treatment and some exercise for you to do at home, provided it is appropriate and safe to do so.
Subsequent sessions are typically 30 or 45 minutes, with the focus on working towards your goals, tailored to what you feel like doing on the day. We focus on completing higher-level and/or physio-led therapy that you cannot do by yourself at home or with your family/carers.
We also have hydrotherapy, complete equipment reviews and recommendations, and other non-standard and tailored consults.
Please contact us to find out more.
Yes – as best we can! We try out utmost best to match our availability to yours. Nonetheless, due to being mobile clinicians, we endeavour to arrange appointments according to the most efficient route. Often, this means that we will try to schedule clients around the area during similar times and dates.
This enables us to maximise the number of clients we can assist, but also helps keep cost down for you by avoiding excess travel.
Whilst every effort is made to work to your requirements, please understand that we cannot offer as much appointment flexibility as a private clinic.
We factor in traffic and travel as part of our scheduling process, and always book in a set time and date for our appointments with you at least two days in advance.
However, there might be occasions when the therapist might be running late due to unforeseen circumstances such as sudden changes or unpredictable traffic conditions, emergencies, or difficult situations during a previous client’s appointment.
We ask for your understanding if your therapist runs 5-10 minutes late to your appointment. We will let you know if we predict we will run more than 10 minutes earlier or later than the predicted time.
We pride ourselves on being flexible in our approach to each session. We utilise your space, and the tools and equipment that you have in order to create our programs.
It would be tremendously beneficial if you have a list of your relevant medical conditions, medications, and the results of any scans, or other documents (including referrals) relating to your injury/condition.
Please also ensure that your home is free of hazards (your lovely pets may have to be in another room!), and is safe for our therapists to enter. As we are constantly visiting people’s homes and new environments, we reserve the right to not proceed with the session should there be a threat to our clinicians’ safety.
Initial sessions cost $200, subsequent 30-minute sessions cost $120, and 45-minute sessions are $150. Our prices include a 10-minute note-writing and a 20-minute travel component. Hydrotherapy and non-standard consultations have different session durations and as such are charged at a different rate!
All prices above are exclusive of GST. GST is only applicable for those funded under government programs.
