Physiotherapy home visits in Drummoyne

Drummoyne is hilly. The streets fall away toward Iron Cove and the driveways go with them, which makes simply getting from the front door to a parked car a real piece of work for someone whose balance has changed.

The compensation is the Bay Run. It is flat, well-surfaced, busy enough to feel safe and pleasant enough that people actually go, which makes it a good place to rebuild walking distance once the indoor work is done.

Getting from the front door to a parked car on a steep street is often the hardest thing in someone's day. It is also the thing that decides whether they accept a lift, so it is worth training deliberately.

Local detail

A goal worth working toward here

A section of the Bay Run at Iron Cove. Flat, well-surfaced and popular, which makes it a realistic and genuinely motivating distance target.

Terrain

Steep streets falling toward the water, with driveways to match. Getting from the front door to a parked car is often the hardest thing in the day.

Housing stock

A mix of Federation homes and newer apartments, with the older houses often having several entrance steps on top of an already steep street.
