ABOUT US
Committed to Excellence in Patient Care
Active Physio Health is a leading health care service supporting central Queensland communities through their allied health journey. It is the primary focus of the team to provide exceptional care, supporting patients to achieve their best health.
Multidisciplinary Allied Health Services
Active Physio Health not only provides excellent physiotherapy and massage care, but also provides multidisciplinary solutions from a wide variety of skills and expertise.
With three practices based in Central Queensland, our primary focus is providing exceptional service and care for our patients utilising up-to-date equipment for health testing, treatment application and fitness.
NATIONAL DISABILITY INSURANCE SCHEME
Registered NDIS Provider
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) provides individualised support for people with disability, their families and carers.
Our physiotherapists help people of all age groups and with different conditions to provide the support they need to pursue their goals. We help people take part in the community and to become more independent. Our team are experts in treating children, young adults and the ageing population with a disability, whether it involves heart and lung conditions, neurological and musculoskeletal conditions.
How long will my service be provided for?
You may need a short burst of care from our physiotherapists, or care for a longer time to achieve your goals. We can put a plan together to help you now, and into the future.
I have a range of health conditions. Can you still help?
Some health conditions need a number of health experts to work together. Our physiotherapists also work closely with other health workers. Together we can help you manage more complex needs.
I have never done Physiotherapy before. Will this be an issue?
In case you have not experienced physiotherapy in the past, rest assured that it is safe, and effective in getting you closer to your goals. We use evidence and research to guide us in working out the most effective treatment for you. We must also meet the same strict legal requirements to work, like your GP and nurses.
