Physiotherapy home visits in Burwood

Burwood is where our patch stops, and it is worth saying plainly rather than implying we go further. The housing is a mix of substantial Federation and interwar homes and newer apartment towers near the station, which are two entirely different physiotherapy problems.

The older houses have the staircases. They are frequently steep, often with a turn, and they were built for people who did not expect to be using them in their eighties. Where the bedrooms are upstairs, working out whether that is still safe is usually the most important thing we do on a first visit.

We cover Burwood and the streets around it — Burwood Heights are all the same visit for us.

Local detail

Housing stock

Substantial Federation and interwar homes with steep staircases, alongside newer apartment towers near the station. Two very different sets of risks.

A goal worth working toward here

A circuit of Burwood Park, then managing Westfield Burwood independently. Flat parkland first, busy shopping centre second, in that order.

Getting to you

Burwood is the eastern boundary of where we travel. If you are further east than here, we will say so on the phone rather than book you in.
