Physiotherapy where your residents live

Balance and Move Physiotherapy partners directly with aged care facilities to deliver expert, on-site physiotherapy programs — supporting residents to live with greater strength, independence, and confidence.

We work alongside your care team as a true partner — not just a visiting clinician. Our collaborative model is tailored to your facility's culture, your residents' needs, and your team's goals, delivering programs that create lasting, measurable improvements in resident health and quality of life.

Our aged care programs

💚

Resident Wellness Program

Staying healthy in aged care is about far more than managing conditions — it's about living with energy, purpose, and confidence. Our Wellness Program supports residents to remain active and independent for as long as possible.

Our physiotherapists develop personalised wellness plans focused on mobility, strength, and everyday function. We monitor progress, adapt plans as needs change, and celebrate every milestone along the way.

🛡️

Falls Prevention Program

Falls are among the most serious risks in residential aged care. Our evidence-based Falls Prevention Program takes a whole-facility approach — identifying individual risk factors and systemic issues before they lead to harm.

  • Comprehensive falls risk screening for each resident
  • Targeted balance and strength exercises for high-risk residents
  • Environmental risk review and practical recommendations
  • Ongoing monitoring and reassessment as needs evolve
  • Education for staff, residents, and families
🏃

Group Exercise Classes

Movement is better together. Our physiotherapist-led group exercise classes improve strength, balance, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness — in a fun, social environment that residents genuinely look forward to.

  • Chair-based exercise for seated participants
  • Standing balance and strength groups
  • Walking groups and outdoor activity sessions
  • Gentle movement and flexibility classes

Staff Manual Handling Training

Your care staff are essential to resident safety — and their wellbeing matters too. Our practical, hands-on manual handling training equips your team with the skills to move and assist residents safely, reducing injury risk for everyone involved.

  • Safe resident transfer and repositioning techniques
  • Correct use of assistive equipment and mobility aids
  • Body mechanics and injury prevention strategies for staff
  • Dementia-specific handling considerations
  • Regular refresher sessions to maintain skill currency
📊

Targeted Quality Improvement Activities

The best outcomes start with asking the right questions — and listening to what your facility and residents need most. Our physiotherapy team leads quality improvement initiatives that are clinically meaningful, facility-specific, and grounded in resident preferences.

  • Mobility and functional outcome audits
  • Restraint minimisation and least-restrictive practice reviews
  • Pressure injury prevention through repositioning programs
  • Facility specific audits as required to inform equipment and sling safety
  • Implementing standardised mobility terminology
