Up And Go Physio

WE COME TO YOU - Adelaide metro and Fleurieu Peninsula *

At Up & Go Physio we want to work with you to achieve the ultimate goal:

Staying as independent as possible, and remaining in your own home as long as you can

We offer the following in-home services to help meet those goals:

Home Assessments:

Why pay for two separate assessments for mobility needs and equipment? – our physiotherapists have the scope of practice and extensive experience to do both!

Yes, we can assess your home, your function and clarify your needs, and also make recommendations and prescribe aides, equipment and home modifications.

In- home physiotherapy service, specifically targeting issues that can affect you as you age:

Falls risk reduction – Balance and reaction time

Maintaining and regaining ability to get up from the floor

Strength for activities such as climbing steps, ramps or getting up from low chairs

Post-fall rehabilitation, reablement and mobility training

Resistance training to combat bone and muscle loss

Regaining fitness and mobility after serious illness

Falls risk and home safety assessment

Dementia Friendly Environmental Assessments:

Bringing the National Aged Care Design Principles & Guidelines into the home to best support those living with dementia

Goods, Equipment & Assistive Technology Assessment:

Have a CHSP code for Goods, Equipment & Assistive Technology but can’t get a CHSP OT to do the assessment. We can come to your home, assess and lodge the request for the equipment for a rate comparable to a CHSP OT visit (Private Health rebates apply)

If you have a maxed out Home Care Package, you can also access additional support with Goods, Equipment & Assistive Technology – ask us how!

Manual Handling Training:
