NDIS Physiotherapy

Our physios use targeted interventions like stretching tight muscles, strength training, gait (walking) retraining, and functional task practice. We also provide advice on and prescribe assistive technology such as walking frames, orthotics (splints), and wheelchairs to enhance mobility and independence.

Rehabilitation focuses on re-learning motor skills, improving balance to prevent falls, building endurance, and increasing strength. Techniques include task-specific practice, vestibular rehabilitation, and graded exercise programs tailored to individual energy levels.

Core support includes intensive rehabilitation to maximise functional recovery, wheelchair skills and prescription, transferring techniques, and managing muscle tone (spasticity). We also focus on strengthening muscles above the level of injury and maintaining joint range of motion.

Our services help manage fatigue through energy conservation techniques, improve balance and coordination, maintain strength, and address walking difficulties (gait aid prescription). Exercise programs are designed to be manageable during fluctuations in symptoms.

For children, we focus on achieving developmental milestones like sitting, crawling, and walking. For all ages, we work on improving core stability, balance, coordination, and overall strength to promote participation in home, school, and community activities.

We provide early intervention to address delays in gross motor skills. This includes exercises and play-based therapy to improve sitting, standing, walking, running, jumping, and ball skills, facilitating greater interaction with peers and the environment.

Our physios use a sensory-informed approach to improve motor coordination, balance (postural control), body awareness, and participation in physical play and sports. We focus on making movement fun and functional.

We specialise in evidence-based exercises like LSVT BIG therapy, which amplifies movements. We also work on improving balance to prevent falls, freezing of gait, functional strength, and teaching strategies to overcome movement initiation difficulties.

We provide post-operative rehabilitation, pain management, gait retraining (potentially with a prosthesis), strengthening programs, and advice on joint protection and activity modification to maintain function and reduce pain.
