What to expect working at Pathways Physiotherapy

Professional & personal support

All our team members get the support they need to provide the best care for their clients, and help their clients achieve their best possible outcomes. 

Our goal is to not only mentor and support therapists to become the best therapists they can be, but more importantly, to help develop happy and fulfilled humans. 

This is why we provide support through one-on-one mentoring and coaching, one-on-one case reviews, fortnightly team inservices, and team case reviews.

Belong to a team

A sense of belonging to the team is what we try to nurture at Pathways Physiotherapy, because we really do believe that team work makes the dream work. 

One of the things we do to help nurture our team culture is to hold a team Culture Day every 3 months, to understand and get to know each other better, to workshop ideas and solutions to improve the way we provide outcomes for our clients, and to have some fun!

A great space to work!

Our clinic is large, light and bright, and filled fantastic equipment to play with! From Pilates equipment such as Reformers, a Trap table and a Wunderchair, along with strength & conditioning equipment such as a squat rack, cable machine and kettlebells. All the tools you need to revise the best care for your clients.

We have fun

Treating patients isn’t always easy. Let’s be real, after finding the right treatment to provide, coaching people to manage their condition, and motivating them to perform their exercises, sometimes you just need somewhere to chill and decompress. 

Which is why it’s so important to be surrounded by a supportive team, but also to have the space to go for a distraction. One of our core values is “We keep it light”, so we strive to find the right balance between work and play. 

Of course, having our own clinic Basketball ring helps to let off steam at lunchtime!

We're a Clinic for Good

Each year the we donate our time and money to a cause that’s important to us. In 2022 we donated to, and volunteered at the St Kilda Mums warehouse, sorting clothes, toys and car seats for babies and children in need. 

What makes us special?

Let's get to the specifics, what makes us special?

  • Team culture

    At Pathways Physiotherapy, Team Culture really is everything! 

    From the very beginning of the recruitment and hiring process, all the way through induction and ongoing team meetings, we place a strong emphasis on ensuring that everyone feels like a valued part of the team.

    Even small details are important to us! Like having a shared note writing area for our therapists so that you know that there is someone who can provide support sitting right next to you. 

    We run Team Culture Days every 3 months, which help foster a sense of team through team building exercises and collaborative problem solving. One of our Core Values is #we-keep-it-light, and so we always make sure there’s fun to be had! Past team activities have included indoor play centres, dodgem cars & laser tag, whilst we’ve also had comedians drop in to our session online, painted portraits of each other, and gone for some amazing walks in the Dandenongs.

    By prioritising our team culture in every aspect of our clinic, we believe that we can create a more supportive and successful environment for all team members and patients.

  • Treatment philosophy

    We provide Individualised Treatment Pathways

    We all know that each individual client will have their own treatment journey that will work for them, and help them acheive their ideal outcome. 

    They may have simple needs, such as a wry neck that needs a few sessions of manual therapy, or something more complex, such as a whiplash injury that requires pain management and education, manual therapy, and a robust rehab program. We believe that we have the team of multidisciplinary professionals with a varied skillset, and who can work together to provide the best individualised treatment pathway for every client. 

    By providing multiple paths to full recovery – Physiotherapy treatment, rehab & exercise, Pilates (1:1 and groups), GLA:D Osteoarthritis group exercise, Exercise Physiology and Remedial Massage Therapy – we know that we can tailor a program that works best for the individual.

     

    We aim to Inspire Lifelong Change

    So often we see clients that have been given just symptomatic relief by treaters at other clinics, without getting to the root cause of their pain. We understand that the majority of clients may actually have a number of lifestyle factors contributing to their pain. To enable optimal recovery, we understand the importance of digging deeper to understand these complex factors, to draw the clients attention to these factors, and offer solutions, so that we can inspire change that actually lasts a lifetime! 

     

    Exercise or manual therapy? …….. Why not BOTH!

    With so much division within the Physiotherapy industry around a “hands on vs hands off” approach, we feel strongly that there’s room for both. Which is why we pride ourselves on being able to tailor an approach that’s ideal for the client in front of us.
