Physiotherapy Overview
At Total Health Choice we understand that Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Exercise Physiology delivered with compassion is highly meaningful and helpful for our community living with mental health challenges.
The term mental health refers to cognitive and emotional wellbeing, and it is becoming more widely recognised as a central component of overall health. We love the opportunity to help people holistically.
At Total Health Choice, we work with many patients who are dealing with mental health challenges. This includes conditions such as Depression, Schizophrenia, Bipolar disease, Borderline personality disorder and Anxiety disorders.
We understand that people living with these challenges may feel dark, alone or forgotten, we’ll do our best to make people experience our values of trust, compassion and care.
Over time, our OTs support people with the NDIS progress reports to ensure they are receiving appropriate supports.
We assess the patient’s physical attributes (namely upper/lower limb function, balance, transfers, functional capacity and safety). We take outcome measures that allow us to measure our performance over time. From there, we’ll formulate short-term and long-term goals and create a treatment plan. This may include:
- Strength exercises
- Respiratory conditioning
- Balance exercises
- Joint mobilisation
- Hands-on therapy, soft tissue massage, manual therapy
Once a plan is in place, together with trust, we will perform the treatments together. For example, for a patient recovering from a stroke, we may work on gait retraining, contracture management and safe transfer practices.

What is Included in Home Visit Physiotherapy?
We perform outcome measures which are our baseline measures allowing us to assess and reassess the progress of an individual’s therapy. This provides a baseline to set goals to achieve.
We then put a plan in place, which will entail
- Goals the individual wishes to achieve
- Frequency of sessions
- Expected duration
- When to reassess outcome measures
- Implement a rehabilitation program between therapist and patient
- Provide a individualise home exercise program to do with their carer, family or individually
You will then be supported by our Australian team for the duration of your Physiotherapy with us.

Physiotherapy FAQ
-
In what ways can Physiotherapy sessions be unique?
Yes and yes.
We often recommend specific exercise equipment to help with your home exercise program. We also recommend equipment including gait aids, wheelchairs, etc.
In one of our Physiotherapist’s bags, you’ll probably find, balls, weights, therabands, witches hat cones for obstacles and balloons (why we carry balloons is a story for when Total Health Choice visits). We may also bring a foam mat for balance practice or a step for stair practice.
-
What are goals & how are they reviewed?
Goals are patient-directed. For example, a patient who has had a lengthy stay in hospital has resulted in deconditioning. Consequently, they will struggle when they return home as their mobility and strength have declined.
In this scenario, the goals would revolve around restoring the norm, i.e.
Getting up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom safely
Reduce the fear of falling
Feeling empowered
Feeling safe in the home environment
Getting back outside into the community
Occasionally our patient’s goal may be to keep them living at home as independent as possible by maximising their functional activities within their home environment – improving their activities of daily living.We cater to each individual’s needs and provide care to suit the individual.
How goals are reviewed
Goals are reviewed by retesting outcome measures. Goals are often performing routine activities in a safe way, so being able to achieve the functional task we’ve set out to do, such asGet out of bed safely
Go to the bathroom at nighttime safely
Walk 8 minutes to the local cafe
Using kitchen equipment safely -
