Chirokind & Rehabilitation Clinic focuses on maintaining health for people of all ages, helping patients pain and prevent disease.
Ballet Pointe Assessments are important to ensure you are physically strong and mobile enough to start practicing pointe in ballet.
At The Physio Bunker, we have developed a comprehensive pointe assessment to ensure you or your child is ready to go onto pointe.
In the pointe assessment, we will look at things like:
Our pointe assessment is comprehensive and you do not need to “pass” every single aspect of it. We screen for extra things to ensure you don’t come up against problems when you do start going onto pointe. If any extra things pop up we will give you ways to address them early.
If we feel there is still work to be done prior to you commencing pointe, we will write you a specific program to ensure you can come back within the next 3-6 weeks and be deemed safe to commence pointe.
If you are private paying (i.e. paying for our services yourself or with your Private Health Fund) or covered by Work Cover, NDIS or a Home Care Package you DO NOT need a referral. If you are a DVA or Medicare patient, you will need a referral or EPC referral from a GP.
We sure do! Bring your private health insurance card with you and you can claim on the spot with our HICAPs machine. This means that you will only need to pay the gap at the time of your appointment.
Your initial appointment will involve a lengthy discussion about your concerns. Your therapist will then need to get some more information about your condition by performing some objective tests and getting some baseline measures. This enables for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan to be formed. If time permits, you will start your treatment as well in the first session!
If you have had any scans or reports done in relation to your condition, it is really helpful if you can bring them with you. You should also bring or wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows access to the area of your body needing assessment and treatment.
Let us help you feel your best and be your best! Whether that be reducing pain, or getting back to elite level sport, we've got you covered.
