Respite should give carers the chance to truly rest — not worry.

Hearing that someone could finally switch off, knowing everything was being taken care of properly, is why we do what we do.

Introducing Uniting Wellness Homes 💙

It is my pleasure to announce that Uniting Wellness is providing respite services. We offer clinically led respite services for people with disability.

We provide high-quality, safe and premium accomodation based in well established residences. These homes are designed to support safety, dignity and genuine rest for the participants and carers alike.

Founded by a healthcare professional, Uniting Wellness was created to address a gap we see too often; respite placements that fall apart due to under-staffing, unmanaged medication risk, and/or unsuitable environments.

Our approach is different.

We focus on:
• appropriate and consistent staffing from day one
• medication safety and clinical oversight
• calm, well-maintained residences
• clear communication with families, support coordinators and other allied health professionals

Because respite should feel restorative, not stressful — for participants and carers.

We’re proud to be building a service that’s selective, reliable and thoughtfully designed.

For more information please contact 0420349009.

Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a disabling disease that affects the brain and the spinal cord (the central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin sheath) that covers the nerves. This results in a disturbance in the signals that are sent to and from the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body.

The disturbance in these signals results in symptoms such as:

-Numbness

-Tingling

-Mood changes

-Memory issues

-Pain

-Fatigue

-Vision impairment and blindness

Balance training is one of the components of an exercise program.Balance training reduces the risk of injury and falls, increasing walking speed and overall physical functioning.Balance exercise should involve controlled body movements while standing in a narrow stance (or standing on one leg), with as little arm support as possible and on surfaces that are soft, slanted or unlevel. Added movement rather than staying stationary as well as altering head position and visual cues can create a sensory rich environment that effectively trains not only balance but muscle function as well. Exercises should be safe, so to start do your training with the support of another person or beside a table/seat/wall before trying by yourself.The more we challenge and alter these aspects the more our balance will be challenged!

Exercise is necessary for holistic health. If you haven't worked out in a little while, this is your friendly reminder to shake up your day with some movement!

What neurological conditions can an NDIS physiotherapist help with?
- Parkinson’s disease
- Multiple sclerosis
-Dementia
-Stroke
-Motor neurone disease
-Huntington’s disease
-Acquired and traumatic brain injuries
-Developmental delay
-Cerebral palsy
-Spinal cord injuries
-Guillain Barre syndrome
-Muscular dystrophy
-Fibromyalgia
-Peripheral neuropathy
-Chronic fatigue syndrome
-Epilepsy
-Autism/autism spectrum disorders
-Functional neurological disorder

Did you know that neurological physiotherapy addresses the movement issues associated with neurological conditions by optimising the function of your nervous system organs and pathways?
The goal for NDIS participants is often to support enhanced function through better movement. For some NDIS participants, this may include using adaptive technologies and/or different movement strategies for achieving your goals.

Cerebral Palsy Management

- Strengthening exercises: These aim to increase the power of weak muscle groups to support better function, such as the achievement of developmental milestones and fine and gross motor skills.
- Functional training: This involves therapeutic exercises and activities to enhance your child’s ability to complete functional tasks, such as walking, jumping, transferring, and climbing stairs.
- Aerobic exercise: Exercises that raise the heart and breathing rate over a sustained period (such as walking, cycling and swimming) can help to improve your child’s fitness and ability to participate in sport and recreational activities.
- Stretching: Muscle spasticity (increased tension) is a common characteristic of CP. Stretching techniques may be used to improve or maintain range of movement, reduce the risk of muscle shortening and contractures, and improve functional ability (e.g. walking ability).
- Casting and splinting: These may be used to provide gentle stretching over a longer period, with a goal of reducing contracture and spasticity and increasing range of motion. Serial casting is a specialised technique which involves repeated applications of a cast, usually every one to two weeks, to gradually increase range of motion.
- Pain management: Pain is another common feature of CP. In a 2020 study involving 3545 children and adolescents with the condition, 44% of participants reported experiencing pain, with 36% of these reporting that pain disturbed their sleep, and 61% their daily activities. Over time, physiotherapy may help to relieve pain as range of motion and joint alignment improve. Physiotherapy techniques such as hydrotherapy and heat and cold therapies may also help with pain management.
