The Functional Fix!

Welcome to the first instalment of The Functional Fix!

Before we introduce ourselves, please enjoy a little about Four PointTherapy:

Four Point Therapy was founded in 2021 on the belief that everyone - regardless of disability, personal circumstances, or individual needs should have access to high-value, evidence-based healthcare that supports their health, wellbeing and quality of life.

The meaning behind the name reflects the principles that guide how we deliver therapy. At Four Point Therapy, we focus on supporting the physical, mental, emotional, and social aspects of our participants’ lives through a holistic, person-centred approach. Our therapies are tailored and delivered in real-world environments to support meaningful change.

Our team of therapists all bring experience working within the NDIS and deliver care in line with our values-based approach. This is reflected in their warm, respectful interactions and their commitment to providing ethical, consistent support in their clinical practice.

As part of our services, Four Point Therapy offers mobile occupational therapy, exercise physiology, physiotherapy, and psychology services to NDIS Participants across greater Melbourne and parts of regional and coastal Victoria. In addition, we also offer in-clinic and Telehealth services across all disciplines. This flexible service model allows us to service participants how they prefer, supporting therapy that fits naturally within their everyday routines and environments.

We, the authors, are Tori and Jess – a little bit about us:

Tori is an experienced occupational therapist and director/founder of Four Point Therapy. Tori has enjoyed a diverse career as an OT, working across public health (in both Australia and New Zealand!) before discovering NDIS community work. Since becoming a mum Tori has enjoyed a change of pace, primarily working to support a growing team of therapists. Tori is also behind several business improvements, and some would say she is a self-taught IT expert.

Jess is an experienced occupational therapist, and one of our two team leads. Jess has worked across public health, aged care and the NDIS. Jess has been working at Four Point Therapy for four years – can I say staff retention?! Working across both roles allows Jess to enjoy a balance of clinical and supervision work. Jess is not a self-taught IT expert 😂

 Every month, feast your retinas on our blog! We will be bringing you:

·       NDIS updates (we will do our best to keep up, may need to invest in some running shoes)

·       Meet the team (spot the beautiful faces responsible for all the behind-the-scenes work)

·       Therapist spotlight (spot the beautiful faces hitting the roads to support participants)

·       Fun insights into the life of a community therapist (can anyone say 'where is the closest toilet?')

·       Company updates (keep up with us, your besties)

·       Myth busters (do OTs only do shower chairs and grab rails? Stay tuned to find out!)

·       FAQ (a lot of you have been asking…)

 

That’s us for now, see you next month!
