Active+ Silverdale is celebrating the launch of its brand new custom built rehabilitation and physiotherapy centre – the
largest of its kind on the Hibiscus Coast.
Two years in the making, Active+ Silverdale boasts a daycare on the ground floor, while a medical centre, pharmacy,
dentist, a café and the Active+ clinic occupy the first floor. The clinic itself provides a vast range of rehab
services, including physiotherapy, acupuncture, vestibular retraining, PINC cancer rehabilitation, injury prevention,
Pilates, post-operative rehabilitation and Bradcliff Breathing therapy
Pip Catchpole, the director and a practicing clinician at Active+ Silverdale has been uncompromising in her search for
the perfect spot. She was delighted to find the ideal building at 3 Brian Smith Drive, Silverdale.
“I searched for a long time for a building that would offer easy access, plenty of parking and also the space for an
open interdisciplinary facility with a great outlook,” Pip explains. “My goal was to create a space where staff and
clients would feel really comfortable, and that’s exactly what we have achieved.”
“We want Active+ Silverdale to be a health hub for the community, where people can make contact and book in with a range
of health professionals,” she adds. “Within our clinic, we have occupational therapists, physiotherapists,
psychologists, hand therapists, podiatrists, and dietitians – enabling us to tailor treatments precisely to the people
that need us. We can provide client care from acute injuries, through to support within the home and community and
return to work following an injury or illness.”
As well as developing a multi-disciplinary healthcare hub that the community can trust for their rehabilitation needs,
Pip has no plans to stand still now the doors have been opened. The team at Active+ Silverdale are continuing to look
for and have plans to expand on what they offer to the community.
“We have already started conversations and are building relationships with local charities, offering our services to
some more vulnerable people in the community,” says Pip. “We are also looking forward to providing more employment
opportunities. We have the space for two additional physiotherapists within the Silverdale premises and as work volume
increases, this will be looked into. We currently have job opportunities for occupational therapists and we are looking
to add a message therapist to the team as well.”
