Physiotherapy

Have you ever felt like your healthcare providers are working in silos, leaving you caught in the middle of conflicting treatment plans?

This experience can be frustrating, especially when different professionals give you advice that seems to work against each other. At My Health Team, we believe that patients deserve better-a cohesive, team-based approach to care that puts your needs first.

The Genesis of My Health Team - A Solution to Disconnected Care

In 2012, Andrew, an experienced exercise physiologist, was facing a challenge familiar to many healthcare providers. While treating a patient with a shoulder injury, he found himself in a frustrating situation: his efforts were being countered by a physiotherapist's opposite treatment plan. Despite attempts to communicate, their disconnected approaches only complicated the patient's recovery.

This experience highlighted a significant issue in the healthcare system-patients often receive fragmented care when their providers don't collaborate effectively. Andrew realised that patients need more than just individual experts; they need a cohesive team working together to ensure the best outcomes. This realisation led to the founding of My Health Team, a multidisciplinary practice that brings together experts from various fields to provide truly integrated care.

Why Collaboration is Key to Effective Healthcare

At My Health Team, collaboration isn't just a buzzword-it's the cornerstone of their approach to patient care. When you have a team of experts, including physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, psychologists, dietitians, and podiatrists, working together, the treatment plans are not only more comprehensive but also more effective.

For instance, when treating a complex condition like a shoulder injury, the team at My Health Team ensures that each specialist is on the same page. This integrated approach prevents the miscommunications that can arise when providers work in isolation, ensuring that all aspects of a patient's health are considered in the treatment plan.

The Multidisciplinary Advantage at My Health Team

The multidisciplinary team at My Health Team includes specialists in physiotherapy, exercise physiology, psychology, dietetics, and podiatry. This diverse group of professionals collaborates to create personalised treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.

For example, a patient recovering from surgery might benefit from the combined efforts of a physiotherapist to manage pain and improve mobility, an exercise physiologist to build strength, and a dietitian to ensure optimal nutrition for recovery. The synergy between these disciplines accelerates healing and improves overall outcomes.

At My Health Team, your health is a collective effort. By bringing together a team of experts, they ensure that every aspect of your health is addressed in a coordinated, cohesive manner. Whether you're dealing with a chronic condition or recovering from an injury, My Health Team's integrated approach means you have a dedicated support system guiding you every step of the way.
