Family Inclusive Therapy
Siblings and parents are included in therapy. This develops a "sense of belonging," builds relationships with siblings, and normalises disability.
It also makes it easier for families to implement strategies into everyday life and get the most from their therapy.

24 hour posturing
At Capable Therapy, we approach physical disability with a 24 hour posturing strategy.
Managing posture with a 24 hour positioning outlook is essential for individuals who are notable to move freely into and out of the three core postures, lying, sitting and standing. Using assistive Technology we aim to prevent further development of asymmetrical deformities, contractures, and challenges related to breathing, swallowing, digestion and heart function.

We Come To You
Therapy Provided In Your Natural Environment
In-Home
Occupational and physio therapy in the comfort of your own home can help improve function and alleviate pain. Our professionals are trained to assess individual needs and tailor a personalized plan for each client.
Gym
Whether it be through strengthening exercises or ergonomic adjustments, we have the expertise to help you achieve your rehabilitation goals.
Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy is the best way for a person with a disability to move and try new things. Occupational and Physical Therapists often recommend water therapy, as the buoyancy of the water supports the body and adds resistance to support the body leading to increased mobility.
Day and Lifestyle programs
These programs give you the opportunity to practice skills in a more natural, real-life setting. In physiotherapy, this can mean practicing techniques for managing daily tasks such as cooking or moving around the house. In occupational therapy, it might involve completing job-related tasks or finding new ways to engage in leisure activities.
School
In school programs that offer physiotherapy and occupational therapy can be a valuable resource for students with physical disabilities. These therapies assist with building strength, improving range of motion, and equipping students with the skills they need to navigate their daily lives.
Childcare
This not only relieves parents of the hassle of finding alternative childcare options during therapy appointments, but it also allows for greater attention and consistency in the child's treatment plan.
Parks
Our experienced therapists will meet you at the park of your choice and provide high quality treatment tailored to your individual needs. Not only do park sessions offer a refreshing change of scenery, but being outside can also have positive impacts on physical and mental wellness.
