New Direction for 2013

2013 looks to be an exciting year for Boost Physiotherapy and its staff.
With the move into our new office complete, we are planning on continuing AND improving upon our current services to the western region of Adelaide.

Our New Patients:
New patients now have a choice to come in for a shorter 20 minute session, therefore also saving on costs.  

We couldn't justify any longer charging the same cost sessions for complex pain situations which require 40minutes to assess and treat, as a simple ankle strain which only takes 20 minutes to treat.  So, in good stead, we have introduced a shorter standard consultation for all new patients.

So when booking in, if you think you have a simple pain problem, let us know over the phone, and we will book you in for 20minutes only.  Saving you about $15 off the usual cost of a 40 minute consultation.

Follow Up Consultations:
There are also varying options now for Standard Follow Up Consultations.  There are two levels of fees now.  The first is a set of fees with a Senior Physiotherapist ( high level of experience) and the second is set of fees with a Physiotherapist.  Again we offer the 20 minute option to save you on costs, or the standard 40 minute consultation.  

We here at Boost Physiotherapy, Port Adelaide have always had an excellent diligence toward the best customer care in our field of Physiotherapy.  We are proud to change our structure of work as the times allow and the needs arise.

New SMS service:
We introduced a new sms service too for appointments in 2012 and this has proven to be very popular for those with mobile phones.  The number to make or cancel appointments via sms is 0434 708 488.

New Opening Hours:
For 2013, we are aiming to extend our opening hours to 8pm in the evenings. As well as our usual Saturday mornings.  So to clarify, we will be open Monday-Friday 10am-8pm, and Saturday 10am-1pm

Feel free to call us to discuss any issues you may have.
We can be reached on 8447 8408.

A bit about us

http://www.facebook.com/boostphysiotherapy?sk=notes#!/boostphysiotherapy?sk=notes

This is what some people are saying about us here:

Joel “I strained my neck and the pain affected my work and rest time.  On the first visit Ashlee found the root of the problem and after a couple of days the neck felt much better.  On the second visit Ann applied heat, massage and stretching techniques.  I’m very happy with the service.  Thanks girls for your efforts!”

Bruce “Several months ago, you fixed my crook knee.  As I have a Milk Round, I need to be fixed very quickly.  This time you fixed my ankle which other people could not.  I think you are doing a great job.  Magnificent.”

Damien “ Thankyou, when I walked in I was in a lot of pain, walked out with the pain significantly reduced.”

Barbara “Thank you.  You have made my life livable.  I now enjoy life.  Instead of wanting to curl up in bed because of my pain.”

Margaret “I think you try to make your patients feel comfortable and happy before you let them go and make sure that they’re 100% fit and that you’re happy for them!”

Marilyn “You are very sensitive to the needs of me being able to return to work full time.  Everything you have already done is heading in the right direction”

Norma “The knowledge and effort is fantastic and I totally trust and have faith in Ann’s abilities.  I have come a long way and I owe it all to Ann.”

Gayle “Friendly and appointments are always running on time”

Phillip “I want to compliment and offer my sincere appreciation for both Ann and Ashlee and would have no hesitation in recommending the physio service to anyone.”

Clinton “I’m a diesel mechanic with a quite a physical job.  Very much appreciated.  After two visits I already feel a lot better.”

Are you new to Physiotherapy?

If you are new to Physiotherapy, here are a few things to expect in your session and some insider tips on what you need to do to prepare for it.

Always try and be early for your appointment.  Your first session will almost always need you to fill out an admissions sheet with your details.  Make sure you bring your identification cards and health benefits card.  The Physiotherapist will spend a few minutes listening to you describe your problems and will ask questions which will help the diagnosis procedure.  The Physiotherapist will also have to physically assess the problem by feeling the area, and moving the area, and watching how you move.  Treatment will be provided and sometimes some advice for how you can help your own problem at home.  Make sure that you have panadol or a hot water bottle/wheatbag ready at home.  As more than likely, on the first session of Physiotherapy, you will have some pain from the hands on treatment.  Similar to when you have a massage, or do extra stretches.  Changes to the body can be felt, and more often than not, be felt as pain. 

Subscapular Nerve Compression: Shoulder, neck, arm pains

The realisation has just occurred to us that Christmas time is getting closer and closer.  As the saying goes, seasons come and go, and for the physiotherapists now at Boost Physiotherapy, statistics are showing that the rather common Subscapular Nerve Compression syndrome is becoming more and more prevalent.  This syndrome causes shoulder pain, neck pain, arm pain and pins and needles or a heaviness down the arm.  Is it becoming more frequent because we are frantically trying to complete all tasks before the festive season arrives?  What IS the reason for this more prevalent occurrence of Subscapular Nerve Compression currently??   Not sure.  But! Prevention is the key, whilst working, keep your posture up tall and neutral and avoid twisting or anything doing anything repetitive without a break. 

Call us if you have queries about anything that is written here.  ph: (08) 8447 8408
