Getting started with physio should be simple. At Pure Balance Physiotherapy you can see us two ways: we come to your home, or you visit our clinic at 401 Old Cleveland Road, Coorparoo. Both give you one-on-one time with an experienced physiotherapist and a plan built around your goals. The right choice comes down to your situation.
When a home visit makes sense
Home visits suit people who find it hard to get to a clinic, or where seeing how you move at home is part of the treatment. They're often a good fit if you:
are recovering from surgery, such as a hip or knee replacement, and aren't driving yet
live with a chronic condition that makes getting out tiring or painful
have had a fall, or are worried about falling
care for someone and can't easily leave home
want help with everyday tasks in your own space, like getting out of a chair, into the shower or out of bed
Treating you at home lets us see your real setting: your steps, your bathroom, your favourite chair. We design exercises around what you already have at home, which makes them easier to keep doing.
When the clinic makes sense
Our Coorparoo clinic suits people who can travel and like having a set place to come to. People often choose the clinic for:
sports injuries and getting back to training
neck pain, headaches and jaw (TMJ) pain
back pain and work-related aches
building strength and performance
The clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
What happens at your first appointment
At home or in the clinic, your first appointment follows the same steps:
A conversation about what's going on, your history, and what you want to get back to doing.
An assessment of how you move, your strength and balance, and the area that's bothering you.
A plain-language explanation of what we found.
A plan we agree on together, which may include hands-on treatment, exercises and advice.
For home visits, a quick look around your home for anything that makes daily tasks harder or less safe.
It helps to have any referral letters, scan reports and a list of your medications ready.
Not sure which to choose?
You don't have to work it out alone. Call us on 0451 507 644 or email purebalancephysio@outlook.com and tell us a little about what's going on. We'll help you decide whether a home visit or a clinic appointment suits you better, and let you know what funding or rebates may apply.
