About Us
Community Physiotherapy Services (CPS) provides land and water based group interventions to prevent or manage chronic conditions and promote healthier ageing. All CPS programs focus on maintaining or improving mobility, function and physical activity with an aim to maximize independence of participants through exercise and self-management principles.
All CPS programs run weekly and emphasise balance, flexibility, strength, posture, functional and cardiovascular ability. They also include health education and advice on relevant issues such as falls risk reduction, posture, back care, continence and home exercise programs.
If recently discharged from hospital these classes may provide an opportunity for people to continue with their hospital exercise program in the community.
CPS programs:
- are supervised by a physiotherapist.
- are suitable for individuals with multiple health problems.
- provide education sessions and promote self management.
- are delivered at minimal cost to the participants.
- are provided throughout the Perth Metropolitan area thus located closer to individuals homes and promotes independence from Secondary and Tertiary services.
