Don’t let pain stop you. Live the life you want.

If you, or a loved one, have ever suffered from a chronic condition or a rheumatic illness that required multiple visits to specialists for your treatment, you will appreciate the BJC Health difference. Our rheumatologists have years of experience in diagnosing and treating diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and we have a coordinator who serves as the central point of contact to manage patients’ care.

Physiotherapy is a vital component to recovering your mobility and independence. Our physiotherapists have unique insight into inflammatory conditions that can cause muscle and joint problems as well as the mechanical sources of injuries. We look at all the sources for fixing your injuries and then put together a tailored treatment plan for you.

Exercise physiology goes far beyond just personal training. Our exercise physiologists prescribe exercises to prevent and manage chronic diseases, injuries and disabilities. Let our experts show you the way to better health through exercise by developing and implementing safe, effective routines and strategies to help you overcome mental and physical barriers and make exercise fun again.

Providing your body with the right fuel is an important consideration to help you overcome a range of medical conditions – even those that are inflammatory in nature. Our dietitians craft diets that can help reduce inflammation in the body, as well as treat various conditions; and they ensure you are getting the most out of your diet to change your life for the better.

Remedial massage is an important part of your treatment plan to treat chronic pain and muscle tension. Our therapists provide deep relaxation by reducing muscle tension to help ease soreness, stiffness and pain. Remedial massage therapy has been shown to relieve stress and anxiety, as well as improve sleep.

If you find it tough to stay motivated when exercising alone, let our certified exercise physiologists supervise you through custom-tailored group exercise sessions. Our group exercise sessions are limited to 5 people per session to ensure you get the attention and quality instruction you deserve.

The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the new way of providing support for Australians with disability, their families and carers.   

DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) scans are the gold standard of body composition assessments. By measuring precise percentages of body fat, bone, muscle and water in the body, our DEXA scans are a highly-effective way to track your weight management progress and suggest certain disease risk-reducing interventions you may benefit from.

We offer the most accurate, non-invasive bone mineral testing thanks to our Lunar Prodigy Bone Densitometer (a machine that produces high-quality DEXA scans). DEXA scans produce a minimal amount of radiation and are superb for monitoring osteoporosis and any fractures that may have unknowingly occurred.

BJC offer tailored programs to aid the treatment of Osteoporosis. There are medications available that strengthen bone and subsequently reduce the risk of fracture. This comprehensive management of Osteoporosis also includes lifestyle interventions, as well as interventions to reduce the risk of falling and dietary measures.

Our work injury cover assessments include a comprehensive initial assessment and report followed by a comprehensive final assessment and report. All functional assessments are performed by our Physiotherapists. We include recommendations on the clients ability return to work and their suitability to upgrade work duties. Strict screening process is provided relating to areas of injury, general health, mental function and work limitations.

It is well recognised that people who suffer an osteoporotic fracture (minimal trauma fracture) are then at a greatly increased risk of getting further fractures. These patients often present at an hospital emergency room and are treated with surgery or a splint. When the fracture has been set, they are then often just allowed home. The possibility of osteoporosis is not thought of or investigated for, and therefore, not treated.

At BJC Health, our physiotherapists & exercise therapists are trained to assess gait stability and falls risk. After an initial assessment, they will then design a program to reduce this falls risk by improving your balance, mechanics of walking, increasing lower limb strength and the use of walking aids when appropriate.
