Occupational therapy in the Gold Coast

Occupational therapy supports you to do the things you want to do in your daily life. Our occupational therapists in the Gold Coast work with you to find ways for you to do tasks more easily and build your independence. We can also support your family members or others in your support network with the tools or skills they need to assist you with your activities. This can include activities at home with cooking, self-care, enjoying time with friends and family, getting out and about, driving, and participating in study or work.

Physiotherapy in the Gold Coast

Our physiotherapists in the Gold Coast use evidence-based techniques to improve a person’s health and wellbeing. You can benefit from physiotherapy particularly if you have a goal that could be achieved by overcoming some strength or mobility challenges. Depending on your goals and your unique situation our physiotherapist will work with you on a range on therapy initiatives to assist you with strength, movement, and flexibility. These could include:

•       Assisting you to improving your balance, movement of legs or arms, muscle strength and fitness. These improvements may help you to walk more steadily, walk without an aide such as a walking stick, ride a bike, walk up and down stairs or run after your children.

•       Helping you chose the right walking or standing aide to support your individual needs from walking long distances to standing to stretch tight muscles.

Speech Pathology in the Gold Coast

Speech pathologists’ study, diagnose and treat communication disorders, including difficulties with speech, language, fluency, and voice. Our speech pathologists in the Gold Coast work with people who have difficulty communicating because of developmental delays, stroke, brain injuries, learning disability, intellectual disability, cerebral palsy, dementia, and hearing loss, as well as other difficulties that can affect speech and language. People who experience difficulties swallowing food and drink safely can also be helped by a speech pathologist.

How we can help you

Our therapists on the Gold Coast will work with you by beginning with assessing what you can do at the moment and discovering what your potential could be if you have the right supports. We then work with you to set your goals of what is important to you and break those goals down into manageable steps to achieve over time.

We offer in-room appointments at our therapy hub located at 206 Currumburra Road, Ashmore. We have appointments available for all our services across all age groups and can provide services for early childhood through to adults.
