OUR MISSION
MISSION STATEMENT
At Atlas Physio, our mission is to support our clients through times of ill-health and distress, to work in collaboration to build, improve, and sustain our clients' capabilities to access and respond to the unique demands of their lives and the world around them, and to engage with physical activity in an easy, painfree, and minimally effortful manner.
OUR PRINCIPLES
Atlas Physio works to deliver high-standard treatment for a broad range of problems, in a manner that is Supportive, Accessible, Flexible, Effective and Respectful. These five qualities inform everything done in the clinic, from the first time you speak to us to the last time you walk out of our door. We strive to support the health, wellbeing, and fullness of life of our communities, and this is reflected in our principles.
SUPPORTIVE
We work to support our clients through injury and rehabilitation. This involves thorough education and planning in clinic, as well as liaison with clients outside of the clinic to ensure safety. This also involves liaison with medical professionals, referral to specialists and advocacy for care. Support through healthcare is the foundation of a healthy client-therapist relationship and has been proven to be essential in ensuring good patient outcomes.
ACCESSIBLE
FLEXIBLE
We offer flexibility in scheduling, service delivery and in planning. We offer an accessible schedule and will do our best to accommodate changes in individual availability, as well as changes in individual capacity. We are happy to provide services in homes, nursing facilities, and in the community. We are happy to accommodate requests for changed appointment times with sufficient notice. We are happy to accommodate changes in patient planning, timeframes and treatment models, and to make these changes promptly to minimise treatment disruptions.
EFFECTIVE
We promise effective, evidence-based treatment conducted in a professional and forthright manner. We will deliver this treatment after discussion of its effects, within the context of a plan, and under continued monitoring and review. We will provide this treatment with a view to enhancing patient independence, so that gains made within the clinic can be retained in daily life. This will often involve the creation of a treatment plan in collaboration with the patient, as well as the development and refinement of that plan as time continues.
RESPECTFUL
We recognise and respect the identity, dignity, and individuality of our clients. We work in collaboration with our partners, acknowledging their lives, their preferences, culture and their lived experiences to ensure that the services we offer inside and outside of the clinic are meaningful and of value to them. We offer accommodations for all of our patients, across all ages, cultures, and creeds, recognise the uniqueness of every individual identity, and take care to provide treatment in a comfortable, caring, and considered manner.
