In times of uncertainty, people are fearful- but it’s also a great chance for the community to come together.

Like all small businesses in Cairns, things are uncertain for us as to how the pandemic will play out- but we’re happy to report we’re open for business.

We post frequently on Facebook about the stringent measures we’re taking to maintain the health of our staff and clients- in fact, I would almost say it’s one of the safest times to visit us for a physio appointment- all of our staff are well and our clients cancel if they even have so much as a sniffle. So THANK YOU all for that!

To support the Cairns Community through this time, we have a number of offerings, savings and online events to keep you fit, healthy and pain- free.

ONLINE EVENTS:

Starting this Wednesday at 12pm, we’ll be running a FREE Facebook live event each week, with different themes around stress, pain management and wellbeing. These will be workshop based, so ideally you should be ready to sit/ lie down and fully participate. They’ll also be available to watch or share back later if you can’t get online at that time. Hit us up with any topic suggestions too! This week, the topic is Rid Your Body of Stress & Tension with Suzanne.

VIDEO CONSULTS:

You may remember our email of a couple of weeks ago when we introduced video consults for clients living out of Cairns. Some interesting facts from scientific research about video consults:

– There is no increase in diagnostic error with Telehealth.

– We can assess and treat a range of acute and chronic pains and injuries with great outcomes, referring you on for imaging or otherwise as necessary.

– Clients become great at self managing pains, as guided by their therapist.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY:

Due to the current situation, we’ve decided to extend bulk billing with Alyza past Easter this year. If you are eligible for a GP referral, you can receive up to 5 sessions per year of physiotherapy under these plans- simply talk to your GP about obtaining bulk-billed physio or call us for more information!

We’re also offering an initial, 30 minute, gap free physiotherapy consult between now and Easter 2020. Basically, new or previous clients (with a new injury, who haven’t attended the practice over the past 3 months), can simply swipe their health fund card and pay no gap for this initial consult. This must be booked by phone or email and mention ‘Gap Free Consult’ at the time of booking!

COMMUNITY SUPPORT:

We’ve really enjoyed seeing how everyone has banded together over the past few weeks and look forward to witnessing more random acts of kindness. Please reach out to us if there is anything we may be able to help with- or if you’re a current or past client, also join our VIP Facebook group to connect more.

We hope you have a safe & healthy week!

Suzanne, Alyza, Clara & Danielle!
