Home Care Packages

Physiotherapy can be accessed with funds from a home care package. We partner with approved home care providers to assist in the delivery of physiotherapy services to their clients. We work with providers to ensure that all services are delivered within the constraints of their home care budget. Home visits, the development of home exercise programs and even equipment purchasing can all be funded through home care packages, meaning no out of pocket expenses to the consumer. All of our clinicians ensure a person-centred approach, implementing strategies to enable effective communication between all key stakeholders. 

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy is a water-based physiotherapy treatment option we offer at Guide Healthcare for our older clients. It has the benefits of reducing weight bearing, increasing sensory/proprioceptive feedback and allowing for reduced muscle activation to allow pain free movement.
