St Luke's Care Private Hospital | Dr Matthew Gardiner- Rehabilitation Physician

The St Luke's Rehabilitation Program aims to help our inpatients regain independence through regular and intensive treatment. Programs are directed by qualified specialist rehabilitation physicians such as Dr Matthew Gardiner and supported by our specialist team of allied health professionals (physiotherapist, occupational therapist, social worker, psychologist, dietician) and experienced nursing staff. We specialise in post-orthopaedic and post-spinal surgery rehabilitation, and we assist patients with musculoskeletal conditions, and rehabilitation following sports injury, trauma and work injury. The heated indoor hydrotherapy pool is an integral part of our rehabilitation program. Hydrotherapy provides buoyancy and assists with reducing pain, helps to strengthen muscles, increases movement and improves walking ability. Used in conjunction with other rehabilitation techniques, a personalised program of exercises is developed to help improve muscle power, range of movement, balance, coordination, endurance and confidence in movement. There is always a physiotherapist in the pool with our patients to guide and assist with movement. Upon discharge, it is anticipated that you will be able to walk safely and confidently both indoors and out, as well as managing stairs independently.
