Our brand new Strength and Conditioning classes will be 45-minute long small group classes focussing on building strength and improving fitness. You will have an individualised program unique to your body and goals. Before joining a class you must have a 1:1 assessment with a Physiotherapist to ensure you can safely perform the exercises in your program. In order to see the benefits of strength training, it is essential to commit to 2 classes per week.
Strength classes are great for anyone who wants to get stronger but is nervous about exercising in a gym-setting without supervision. They are also perfect for those who have been doing Clinical Pilates for a while and are ready to push themselves a little harder. To ensure that you are constantly progressing and your goals are being met, you will also require a re-assessment every 12 weeks. This will be similar to your initial assessment and will be 1:1 with one of our Physiotherapists.
Strength and Conditioning Classes are held at our Burleigh Heads Physio Clinic
Please contact us for further information (also below) or to book.
No. You can book directly with a Physiotherapist, Exercise Physiologist, Massage Therapist or Podiatrist without a referral.
But, if your treatment payment is part of a specific insurance, Dept of Veteran's Affairs, workers' compensation or Medicare program, a referral IS required.
Yes.
Please send it to us, ideally, before your first appointment. Your physio will write to your GP after the first visit to detail how we will work together with you to address your issue. At the end of treatment program, your physio will write again to the GP with a discharge summary.
Chronic Disease Management plans allow you a Medicare rebate for up to 5 visits over a 12 month period. You can choose which health professional you use those visits at. The 5 visit total is across all allied health disciplines though, unfortunately. So if, for example, you need to see a dietician and a physio for your condition, those 5 visits will be shared between the 2 practitioners.
If you use a care plan to subsidise your physio treatment, you cannot also use your private health fund for the same visit. Rehabilitation for complex conditions usually take greater than 5 visits to manage, and so if you have private health cover, you can use this to subsidise the treatments once you have used up your care plan.
No.
We provide at least a 30 minute appointment and up to 60 minutes for pelvic floor condition assessments. There is also associated paperwork which is a compulsory government requirement.
Medicare rebates do not adequately recompense for this time spent.
Yes, there is ample street parking right in front of the practice on West St, Burleigh Heads. It is 3P metered, so you can either use the "Easypark" app or pay at the machines. If you have a disabled sticker, displayed clearly, Gold Coast City Council don't expect you to pay for metered parking.
Osteopenia is also known as low bone mass, this is the range between normal bone mass and osteoporosis. This is considered a warning zone for action to maintain and if possible build your bone mass.
Osteoporosis is defined by the world health organisation as a disease characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk. It is typically known as a silent disease, as it is often not picked up until it is too late and a fracture occurs.
