NDIS Update from Raquel Poyser
Over the past twelve months, South Coast Physiotherapy have continued to provide Physiotherapy Services for our valued NDIS clients who now total just under 100. These services range from providing hands on therapy to advice regarding assistive technology eg, wheelchairs, Ebikes and trikes, blue tooth operated hi lo beds to supporting participants with on land or in pool exercise programs to training for support workers. Our Physiotherapists work and provide services for our NDIS clients in a variety of settings depending on what suits our clients and their situation best. These places of work may include our clinic rooms in Tootgarook, in a participant’s own home, supported accommodations, Adult Day Programs and in the community eg. YAWA, PARC. South Coast Physiotherapy clinicians travel far and wide to assist our NDIS clients including Rye, Hastings, Cranbourne and Carrum and locations in between. Sometimes our Physiotherapists are required to travel further up the train line to places like Mentone if we are meeting with a client at a provider to review and make modifications to their wheelchair. Our therapists regularly work closely with large therapy and support teams supporting our NDIS clients to optimise their functional outcomes and assist them to work towards their NDIS goals. At South Coast Physiotherapy we take pride in our work helping improve the lives of people living with a disability and striving to improve the services we offer our valued NDIS clients. We look forward to supporting more people achieve great things in 2024! Raquel Poyser Neurological Physiotherapist

COVID Update - Stage 4 Restrictions

We will remain open through this 6 week Stage 4 lockdown with alterations in line with the latest DHHS guidelines. Face to face appointments will only be available: if it is considered essential and where not receiving Physiotherapy intervention is likely to lead to a significant deterioration to health to avoid a hospital or Emergency Department admission Brad, James and Len will all be available for face to face appointments under the criteria listed above and are also available for Telehealth consultations which are recommended at this time. Raquel and Sen are continuing to see their neuro patients but utilizing Telehealth where possible. Further information on our Telehealth service is available on our website here. We are sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause but know that our patents will understand the importance of complying with the guidelines that we are given through this next 6 weeks.

COVID 19 - Lockdown 2.0
With the recent return to stage 3 restrictions we have further increased our infection control policy with all clinicians now wearing face masks during consultations. We will also continue to implement our increased sanitization and social distancing policies. These include having hand wash available for patients as they enter the building, staying in your car until your appointment time and encouraging friends or relatives of patients to not enter the waiting room unless assistance is required or the patient is a minor. Patients should not attend the clinic if they have any cold of flu like symptoms We are remaining open with Brad, James and Len all available for face to face appointments. Raquel and Sen are continuing to treat their neuro clients and are using Telehealth when able. Telehealth appointments are available for all patients and we encourage patients to use this if feeling uncomfortable with a face to face consultation or as an alternative if suffering from cold or flu type symptoms. As Physiotherapy is considered an essential service we feel it is important to continue working and reduce the load on GP and ED services. Thank you once again for your understanding during this Pandemic.
