Did you know that hydrotherapy can help in the management of acute or chronic pain?

Hydrotherapy is a cornerstone of our signature rehabilitation program, which is available for both individuals on an inpatient or day therapy basis.

This soothing, water-based exercise program supports recovery from a variety of conditions, whether you're managing chronic pain, recovering from surgery, or undergoing rehabilitation.

Benefits of hydrotherapy in managing pain
💧 Pain relief: Hydrotherapy can help reduce pain, decrease muscle spasms, and improve joint range of motion.

Did you know that post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most common mental health disorder after depression?

Trauma can have a devastating effect on people’s lives. Any one of us can be affected and the psychological impacts can be deep and complex.

They can affect any of us physically and emotionally, and the way we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. The problems that arise after trauma can be complex and impact our wellbeing.

According to Phoenix Australia, about 5.5% of Australians will experience PTSD at some point in their lives. That means that at any one time over 1.5 million Australians have PTSD.

It’s predicated that 3 in 4 Australians will experience an event that can cause psychological trauma in their lifetime. Psychological trauma comes in many forms and impacts people from all walks of life.

The problems that arise can be complex and impair our physical and emotional wellbeing.

However recovery is possible.

Matilda Nepean at Kingswood runs a private mental health program that is focused on the needs of people living with PTSD and other stress-related conditions.

The program provides a safe and nurturing environment for participants to access the tools and strategies they need to address their specific symptoms and needs.

The program helps address trauma and stress-related emotions and develop new thought patterns to better manage the symptoms associated with trauma and stress.

You can read more about the program here: https://matildanepean.com.au/service/post-traumatic-and-stress-disorders/.

It can be accessed either as an inpatient or on a day therapy basis.

If you would like to speak to someone further about the program, your suitability or admission arrangements, please contact Jacki Maher on tel: 8123 6790 or email: mentalhealth@matildanepean.com.au.

A short stay in a "sub-acute" rehabilitation hospital like Matilda Nepean can be a helpful "bridge" between an acute care hospital and home.

This is particularly the case for people recovering from a surgical procedure, older people, or those with more complex care needs.

It provides an opportunity to fully recover and regain strength, mobility, and independence with the support of an experienced multidisciplinary care team before going home.

If you’ve recently had a surgical procedure, our team can develop a program tailored to your needs to help you regain your strength and mobility before you go home.

For older people or those with more complex care needs, we can focus on strengthening mobility and independence to support and enable a safe transition home.

When you or a loved one is nearing discharge from an acute care hospital, we can also organise the transfer directly with the hospital on your behalf.

To learn more or to have a confidential discussion about your or a loved one's needs, please contact Alicia Wozniak on tel: 8123 6789.

We'd like to introduce you to Dea, our in-hospital Dietitian at Matilda Nepean.

She focuses on your nutritional well-being, providing individualised dietary advice to patients to support their rehabilitation and recovery needs.

We also asked her to share two "insider" tips on the easiest way to improve your diet. Her advice?

1. Eat colourful fruits and vegetables every day
2. Drink more water

This week (April 8 to 14), we're celebrating Dietitian's Week and focusing on the importance of nourishing the mind, body, and brain.

In this, Dietitians Week, we'd like to say a big thank you to Dea for all that she does for our patients at Matilda Nepean and recognise the important work of Dietitians working in a range of roles across the Nepean.
