A few minutes from our Kew East clinic
Our clinic on Burke Road is a short drive from Canterbury by way of Burke Road and Mont Albert Road, so visit times are flexible and travel is short.
Who we visit in Canterbury
Canterbury has a high proportion of older residents, many living in the large Edwardian and Federation homes along Mont Albert Road and the streets around it, homes they have often owned for decades. Those houses come with stairs, long hallways, big gardens and the determination to stay in them. We also visit the suburb’s retirement villages and aged care homes, NDIS participants, and people recovering from surgery who cannot yet manage a clinic trip. Adult children arranging care for a parent make up a large share of our enquiries here.
Walking and balance in Canterbury
The suburb’s wide, flat streets along the Golden Mile are ideal for a graded walking program, and Canterbury Gardens offers level paths and benches. The Maling Road village, with its shops and cafes, and Canterbury station are practical goals for people who want to manage their own errands and travel again. Inside the home, long hallways and front steps are where most of our balance work starts.
After hospital
Canterbury residents are usually treated at Epworth Eastern in Box Hill, Cabrini in Malvern or the private hospitals in Kew and Camberwell. A short block of home physiotherapy in the first weeks after a joint replacement, a fracture or an illness helps the discharge stick. We follow your surgeon’s plan and keep them informed if asked.
Podiatry at home
Nail and skin care, diabetic foot assessments, ingrown toenail care and footwear advice are all available at home across Canterbury. Many of our regular podiatry clients here are older residents who can no longer reach their own feet comfortably.
Nearby suburbs
We also visit Balwyn, Camberwell, Surrey Hills and Mont Albert from the same clinic.
