Have you sustained an injury as a result of a motor vehicle accident(MVA)?
Do you want relief from your symptoms?

The pain and suffering resulting from a motor vehicle accident can become frustrating and inconvenient. Our Physiotherapists at Dr7 are registered health professionals with a wealth of knowledge to help you become pain-free and functional.

We welcome all patients referred for a motor vehicle-related injury.

Who is ICWA?

ICWA, known as the Insurance Commission of Western Australia is a corporation owned by the Western Australian government. They provide funding to those who are injured as a result of a motor vehicle accident. Vehicle registration fees provide ‘compulsory third party insurance’. This allows ICWA to provide compensation for injured parties when they involve in a motor vehicle accident.

Who is entitled to Motor Vehicle Accident claim?

Any of the following individuals who have sustained an injury or medical condition as a consequence of a motor vehicle accident can apply for an MVA compensation claim:
• Driver
• Passenger
• Pedestrian
• Cyclist

Eligibility for funding, reimbursement, or compensation is decided by ICWA. ICWA will investigate your claim and establish who was at fault. Liability must be accepted by ICWA for your claim to be accepted.

How do I make a Motor Vehicle Accident claim?

If you have sustained an injury or illness directly related to a motor vehicle injury follow these basic recommendations:
1. Seek medical attention
2. Report the crash to the police via the Online Crash Reporting Facility (https://www.crashreport.com.au/ocrf/) – this will provide you with a crash reference number
3. Call the insurance commission on (09) 9264 333 to investigate whether they require any additional information or forms to be lodged
4. Consult with your GP and request a referral to your allied health professional (e.g. Physiotherapist)

If you are considering a Motor Vehicle Accident claim and require more advice we recommend seeking legal advice.

How do I get referred to Physiotherapy?

When attending Physiotherapy services under a Motor Vehicle Accident claim it is important that you present with the correct documentation.

Before presenting to Physiotherapy you will need the following information:
• A Doctors referral stating the following:
o Name of practice and practitioner you intend on seeing
o Date of accident
o Injured areas to be managed
o Modalities of treatment (e.g. Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, exercise rehabilitation)
• Claim number (if provided)
• Confirmation that you were not at fault by ICWA

If liability has not yet been determined we may kindly request that you pay the fees upfront and seek reimbursement once your claim has been accepted.

If you are unsure what information you need to provide, we recommended speaking to our friendly receptionist on (08) 9349 1777 for more information today!

What Conditions Physiotherapy Treats, Prevents, or Manages

A physiotherapist is trained and licensed to diagnose physical abnormalities, promote physical activity and proper function, maintain physical function, and restore physical function and mobility.

This is why physiotherapy, similar to what Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry offers, is beneficial for people of all ages, but most especially, for seniors in home care or aged care residences. With musculoskeletal functions going through changes as people age, any strategy that can help deal with such problems would be most welcome.

Conditions That Can Be Treated by Physiotherapy

Arthritis

This is a condition that can cause joint pain, stiffness, and heat. Physiotherapy can help manage symptoms and provide pain relief through exercise and other forms of therapy. There are exercise programmes that you can take advantage of.

Asthma

Physiotherapists can help asthma patients by showing them how to retrain breathing and to breathe in a more relaxed way. They can also recommend activity and exercises that can help manage asthma.

Back Pain

Managing back pain is among the speciality of physiotherapists and seeing one can mean speedy recovery and future prevention. Physiotherapy may involve manual treatments, exercise, acupuncture, and other ways to treat and prevent back pain.

Osteoporosis

Don’t wait for osteoporosis to lead to broken bones, especially when you are at an age where falls and fractures are common. Once diagnosed, you should see a physiotherapist right away, so he can recommend ways to prevent thinning of bones, strengthen bones and muscles, manage pain, and reduce falls.

Chronic Pain

Physiotherapy can help manage the condition and minimise its impact on a patient’s life. If you are suffering from chronic pain, reducing its intensity is a welcome relief. Physiotherapists can also provide massage, hands-on treatments, and other options to manage long-term pain.

Neck Pain

The kind of neck pain that physiotherapists treat is unlike the ordinary pain that you may sometimes experience. It is a musculoskeletal disorder that also includes repetitive strain injury and back pain. Apart from hands-on treatments, such as acupuncture and manual therapy, physiotherapy will also create exercise programmes and provide tips that meet your needs and provide pain relief.

Cardiovascular Disease

Heart attack, stroke, and angina are just some of the problems that seniors may face. One way to prevent these is to exercise and stay active, something physiotherapy can help with. But that’s not all. Physiotherapists also offer cardiac rehabilitation programmes that can improve your quality of life and health.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Pulmonary rehabilitation programmes are considered extremely effective in treating this particular condition, and a physiotherapist is one of the most important health professionals who make up the team that runs the programmes.

Falls and Fractures

What physiotherapist can do is to improve balance, help reduce the risk of falling, strengthen bones, and advise on activities that will maintain or improve your mobility.

Diabetes

What physiotherapists can offer diabetes patients are strategies to help manage lifestyle changes and ensure blood glucose levels are kept under control. These include a healthy diet, exercise regimen, and assessment for a foot splint in case a dropped foot is developed.

Cancer

Research shows that exercise can increase a cancer patient’s chances of survival or prevent some cancers from coming back. Physiotherapy can help keep patients active and find ways to treat side effects such as lymphoedema, osteoporosis, and tiredness.

Other conditions that physiotherapy can treat, prevent, and/or manage are high blood pressure, Parkinson’s disease, incontinence, and multiple sclerosis.

The same health professionals will also provide recommendations for occupational health and rehabilitation programmes.

Needless to say, young and old alike can benefit from what physiotherapists can offer, whether they are affected by the conditions listed above or not. With the kind of preventative tips that they can provide, seeking their help will definitely work to your advantage.

With this in mind, get in touch with Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry on 9349 1777 to make a booking.

What To Expect From Physiotherapy

If you are heading into your first physiotherapy consultation, you might be feeling nervous. You are already in pain, might be worried about the condition and the prognosis and additionally, you might also be uncertain about the session itself. You don’t know what to expect. Even if you’re dealing with a medical professional, you probably can’t help but feel a little unease. Are they good? Experienced? All this confusion is normal. At Dr7 Physiotherapy Perth and Inner Northern suburbs, we will make you at ease and set you on your path to recovery.

To help ease these concerns, we’ll outline how a typical treatment plan will go. We hope that this will help you better understand how the process works.

The initial session begins with our experienced physiotherapist looking for a way to gain an understanding of the patient. The source and the cause of the discomfort is the focus, but the questions will vary.

In many cases, relevant documentation and a full examination are the starts. Questions asked may include things like medical history, general physical condition, and any existing illnesses or problems. The key here is getting a complete picture of you along with the condition that needs treatment.

You’ll want to keep your clothing loose and comfortable. Physiotherapy assessment often requires you to move or do some physical tests, as a means of assessing mobility , strength and range of motion.

Reflex and nerve testing might happen. It varies based on the condition.

In cases where clothing covers the pained area, you might be asked to remove it. This is, so the therapist gets a better view of the troubled area. Try to not wear anything tight or clothing that would take a long time to remove or put back on. You will be in a screened-off treatment area and draping with towels are used as appropriate.

After the observation, you’ll get a proposed treatment plan.

The therapist will determine how many sessions are needed. What might just be a few sessions for one could end up taking weeks for another. There is no singular approach, but instead, things are adjusted to fit specific individuals. Different conditions and different degrees of the same condition will affect treatment session and progress.

The average session lasts only about half an hour but this will vary based on the individual.

Treatment techniques vary and may include massage, joint mobilisation and manipulation, taping , acupunture ( dry needling ), electro-therapy such as ultrasound, interferential and TENS, laser. Specific exercises will be outlined for your condition. Education and advice is a vital part of a good physiotherapy session. Hands on treatment is important in most cases, but ironically it’s the physio’s knowledge and their words that will benefit your recovery the most.

Dr7 Physiotherapy is here to help. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

Dr7 Physiotherapy has provided clinical placement for Notre Dame Students (Fremantle campus) for the past 10 years. Around 20 students each year will go through our clinic and gain valuable experience for their physiotherapy studies. The physio students work closely with our experienced physiotherapists and hydro-therapist on a daily basis to gain insight into patient treatment and management. “We wanted to help in any way possible to educate and teach the interns to better prepare them for the future”, as quoted by Ryan our head physiotherapist.

A normal day for the interns:

They would sit in on initial assessments and learn how the physio would assess a new patient and proper treatment if any on the first visit.
Students would learn the many injuries and treatments ranging from workers compensation, motor vehicle accidents and sports injuries.
The hydrotherapy pool would be a main focus for the students as Doctor 7 Physio and Podiatry are one of the only practices in Perth with a hydrotherapy pool in it.
Interns will get into the pool and help out the physios teaching the proper exercises and movements to the patients.

What an intern would learn from the internship:

How to properly prepare themselves if they choose to work in a private practice.
How to diagnose patient’s injuries from the initial assessment and the proper treatment methods they should undertake.
Observing and teaching patients on how to execute the proper stretches and exercises for their rehabilitation.
Gaining knowledge and experience of treatment of patients in the hydrotherapy pool

Dr7 Physiotherapy and Podiatry has also taken in students internationally from other Physiotherapy schools. A student from Germany came to have an internship with us in 2016, staying with us for 3 months before returning back to Germany to begin her career.

We will always welcome students from local or international universities to come and undertake an internship with us. If we can accommodate students, we will do our best in showing them how a private physiotherapy and podiatry practice is operated.
