Choosing Own Body
Own Body has a strong focus on customer service. That means we prioritise our clients and referrers by being responsive and acting with integrity. Above all else, our goal is to assist clients in maintaining their lifestyle and to improve and maximise their capacity to live as independently as possible.
An important feature of Own Body is that we endeavour to always commence treatment within a maximum of 3 days for urgent referrals, which can be especially vital immediately after surgery, for wound care (podiatry) or when requiring equipment or assessment to live safely at home.
We take a collaborative, multidisciplinary and holistic approach to treatment. This means we may on occasion, recommend supplementing treatments with visits to a medical specialist, manual therapist, or even the local gym.
Own Body provides mobile physiotherapy, occupational therapy and podiatry in clients’ homes across metropolitan and greater Melbourne, Regional Victoria (Ballarat, Geelong and Mornington Peninsula) Sydney, Brisbane, Gold Coast, Hobart and Launceston.
If you are a health care professional interested in connecting with Own Body by joining our alliance of health care professionals, please email your details to [email protected].
