Movement is part of staying independent.
A physiotherapist assesses how strength, balance, joints, pain, neurological changes or recovery from illness affect movement. Treatment may include targeted exercise, movement practice, education and suitable hands-on techniques, with a plan shaped around meaningful daily goals.
Clinical expertise connected to the life you want to live.
We look at your strengths, health, environment, routines and priorities. From there, we agree on practical support that is relevant, understandable and able to be reviewed.
Walk and transfer more safely
Assessment considers how walking and transferring is affected by health, the home environment, routines and the support already in place.
Improve balance and confidence
Recommendations for improving balance and confidence are designed to be practical for the older person, family, carers and care team.
Manage pain while staying active
Support builds towards assisting managing pain whilst staying active through relevant considering skills, equipment, environmental changes or education where appropriate.
Recover function after a health change
Progress towards recovering function after a health change is reviewed against the older person’s priorities, safety, comfort and quality of life.
Start with what has changed—or what you want to keep doing.

Easy Read guide
A plain-English guide to Physiotherapy and Aged Care support.
Can physiotherapy reduce falls?
Physiotherapy may address modifiable risks such as strength, balance, mobility and confidence. Falls can have several causes, so collaboration with a GP or other professionals may also be needed.
Can treatment happen if I use a walking aid?
Yes. The physiotherapist can assess movement with your current aid and discuss whether further review or adjustment is needed.
Is hands-on treatment included?
It may be used when clinically appropriate, but aged care physiotherapy commonly combines assessment, education, exercise and practical movement strategies.
Can physiotherapy help after hospital?
Yes. Physiotherapy may support safe mobility and gradual recovery after illness, surgery or a hospital admission.
What should I have ready for the first appointment?
Have your medication and health information available if possible, along with any mobility equipment and relevant discharge or clinical documents.
What if my mobility changes suddenly?
A sudden or severe change may need urgent medical assessment. Bloom is not an emergency service; call 000 for an emergency or seek prompt medical advice.
What would you like to keep doing at home?
Tell us what matters. We’ll help you understand the most suitable next step.
