Physio at home in St Ives

Enquire online or call, with no GP referral

Without a station, getting to a clinic can mean a bus ride or a lift from family. You, or a family member, can enquire online or call 040 55 77 555. There is no GP referral step for a private visit. There is no waitlist. New clients are usually seen within 24 to 48 hours.

St Ives, off the train line

The suburb is strung along Mona Vale Road and has no railway station of its own. St Ives Shopping Village, at 166 Mona Vale Road, and the St Ives North shops, at 351 Mona Vale Road, are the daily hubs. A home visit saves the trip to a clinic for someone who has stopped driving. The physio comes to the house, so the morning does not start with finding a park at the village.

St Ives Chase and the bushland edges

St Ives Chase backs onto Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, and Garigal National Park adjoins the eastern side of St Ives. The streets are quiet, the blocks run into bush, and garden paths can be uneven after rain.

Large blocks, long driveways and split levels

Many St Ives houses sit on big blocks: a long driveway, garden steps, a split level between the garage and the kitchen. The physio works on the routes you actually use. That might be garage to kitchen, the back steps into the garden, or the walk to the letterbox or the bin. The point is the real path, not a hallway in a clinic. After a stumble on those steps, see after a fall or a near miss at home.

Around the village and Kitchener Street

Fernbank retirement village is on Kitchener Street. Visits happen in the resident's own home or unit, when the village allows a visiting health practitioner. Other local places can shape a goal where it is safe to work towards them: the St Ives Showground and the Ku-ring-gai Wildflower Garden on Mona Vale Road, or the bowling club on Killeaton Street. If getting back to the bowling green is your goal, your plan can work towards it where it is safe, with no promise that you will get there.

Staying strong with exercise physiology at home

In St Ives, exercise physiology can pick up once physiotherapy goals are met: ongoing strength, balance and bone health, done in the home and the garden rather than in a gym. It does not replace medical management of osteoporosis. See exercise physiology at home, exercise physiology for osteoporosis and physio first, then exercise physiology. Physiotherapy itself is physiotherapy at home.

Coming home from the San, Lady Davidson or Northern Beaches Hospital

Three hospitals sit a drive from St Ives. Sydney Adventist Hospital is at Wahroonga. Lady Davidson Private Hospital, for rehabilitation, is at North Turramurra. Northern Beaches Hospital is at Frenchs Forest. None of them is connected to Alera.

Leaving Lady Davidson after a rehab stay? Enquire online or call so physiotherapy can continue at home. Bring the discharge papers. If the surgery was a hip replacement, see hip replacement rehab at home. After a stroke, see stroke rehab at home.
