Acute Conditions and Chronic Disease

Including cardiac, pulmonary, men's health/penile, pelvic floor, and oncology/cancer rehabilitation.

Rehabilitation

At Physio Partners, our team provides a holistic and complete approach to your rehabilitation.  As allied health practitioners, we understand and work concurrently with your GP and Specialist Physicians understanding the medicines that you’re taking, and we are 100% aware of the surgeries that you’ve had and know their implications.  The reason for necessitating rehabilitation is because with increasingly complex and chronic conditions in our health system today, your doctor or surgeon can’t fix 100% of your problem.  Many of the solutions lie with a multidisciplinary team of health professionals who all have a unique and important role in your path to full recovery or optimisation.  Physio Partners is here to fill that gap.  Moreover, we will make it engaging, motivational and fun!

We also understand (even though many people themselves are not aware) that not only are you rehabilitating from your immediate/current injury, but also from the years - and often decades - of deconditioning related to the development of that condition.  A proper rehabilitation program will always address more than one problem.

Heart Failure/Function

Cardiac Rehabilitation

Conditions beneficial for include:

  • cardiac arrest
  • heart attacks
  • myocardial infarction (STEMI, NSTEMI) stents (percutaneous coronary intervention PCI)
  • angioplasty
  • coronary artery disease
  • atrial fibrillation/AF
  • arrhythmia
  • cardiac pacemakers
  • chronic heart failure
  • cardiomyopathy and takotsubo cardiomyopathy

For these conditions, we work closely with your GP and Cardiologist to ensure you’re medically stable for exercise rehabilitation.  We are fully across their medical and pharmacological treatments (which often change over the months after diagnosis) and we also can pick up on new problems and will report back to your medical team.

Oncology/Cancer Prehabilitation and Post-operative Rehabilitation

Did you know you can get fit for surgery?  

This is because the administration of the anaesthetic itself with machine-assisted ventilator breathing is enough to cause possible lung collapse (atelectasis) or pneumonia (chest/respiratory airways system infection).  Furthermore, depending on the site of the proposed surgery, post-surgical wound pain can inhibit breathing and affect motivation in the days after you wake which can lead to serious and even life-threatening post-operative complications in hospital. 

Fortunately, with targeted physiotherapy and exercise therapy beforehand, you can prepare for these procedures to ensure the best, most optimal surgical outcome.

Pain Management

Chronic pain (lasting more than 3 months) is a problem at the site of injury, but also becomes an additional legitimate biological problem in the brain and mind. This is because the constant pain sensations to the brain affect and is affected by other concurrent emotional and psychosocial factors felt by the person.

Over the course of months, chronic pain has an impact on all areas of a person’s function because the neural pathways begin to change for the worse.

Our treatment for chronic pain is underpinned by this understanding, and the assessment and treatment of chronic pain will use this holistic approach.
