Improving the health of hundreds of clients

When Amici House opened at Bracken Ridge in 2021, our physiotherapists and podiatrists began welcoming new clients to their clinic.

Now 4 years later, the clinic is open every weekday with appointments frequently filled by clients like Desmond.

The clinic, where Desmond has been receiving physiotherapy since June this year, is like any other health facility, yet distinguished by the expertise and warm enthusiasm of our clinicians.

Relieves Symptoms

When our physiotherapist warmly welcomes Desmond, who is accompanied with his wife Robyn, their goal for better health, wellbeing and independence is clearly apparent. A sprightly man who looks decades younger than his age, it is difficult to believe Desmond is battling dementia and lives with a history of heart disease.

As with many other clients who attend our physio clinic seeking relief for symptoms, Desmond was experiencing persistent headaches, leg weakness
and reduced balanced.

Feeling Better

Desmond’s enthusiasm for recommended exercises to improve his strength, balance and mobility has delighted our physio, who observed that within weeks, Desmond’s headaches had reduced in their intensity.

Meanwhile, Robyn is cheerful that her husband is now able to participate in general and leisure activities.

“We can clearly see the difference physiotherapy is making to Desmond’s life and how his health has improved from the sessions. Desmond really found both the exercises and social engagement uplifting.” Robyn said.
