Hi, I’m Sarah Loveband, a physiotherapist at Tender Loving Care Disability Services in Upper Mt. Gravatt, Queensland. I’m excited to share with you what we do here and how our services can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities.

We understand the unique challenges faced by our clients and are dedicated to providing personalised, effective care that empowers each person to achieve their personal goals.

The Importance of Physiotherapy in Disability Support

Physiotherapy is vital for individuals with disabilities. It offers numerous benefits, enhancing overall well-being and quality of life. My team and I work tirelessly to help clients overcome physical barriers, improve mobility, and manage pain, ensuring they can live fulfilling and meaningful lives.

Customised Care for Every Individual

One of our core principles at Tender Loving Care is customised care tailored to each client’s needs and goals. As a physiotherapist, I assess each participant’s condition and design personalised treatment plans that address their unique challenges. This approach ensures that every session is practical and focused on helping clients achieve their desired outcomes.

Convenient In-Clinic and Home Visit Options

I understand some clients’ difficulties accessing in-clinic services, especially during the colder months. That’s why we offer convenient home visits, allowing clients to receive the care they need in the comfort and safety of their own homes. We aim to make physiotherapy accessible and convenient, ensuring no one misses out on essential care.

Comprehensive Pain Management

Winter can be particularly tough, as joint and muscle pain worsens with the cold. Our physiotherapy services include targeted treatments to alleviate discomfort and improve quality of life, providing a sense of relief and comfort. By addressing pain effectively, we help clients perform everyday activities with greater ease and comfort.

Enhancing Mobility and Preventative Care

Maintaining and improving mobility is a crucial focus of our physiotherapy programs. I strengthen and stabilise muscles and joints through specialised exercises and therapies, promoting better movement and function. Regular physiotherapy sessions also serve as preventative care, reducing the risk of winter-related injuries and keeping clients safe and healthy.

Services Offered at Tender Loving Care

We offer a range of services designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients:

  • Exercise Rehabilitation: Strengthening and stabilising muscles and joints to enhance overall physical function.
  • Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to relieve pain and improve function, customised to each client’s needs.
  • Education and Advice: Providing clients with the knowledge to manage their condition effectively and stay active safely during winter.

Collaboration and Support

At Tender Loving Care, we believe in a collaborative approach to care. We work closely with participants, families, and other professionals to ensure comprehensive, person-centred support. This teamwork ensures comprehensive care and fosters a supportive environment where clients feel empowered and in control of their health journey.
