Physiotherapist NDIS Registered

NDIS Physiotherapy refers to physiotherapy services that are funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) to support individuals with disabilities. The goal is to help participants achieve their rehabilitation and functional goals, such as improved mobility, reduced pain and enhanced quality of life.

Eligibility for NDIS Physiotherapy is determined by the NDIS criteria, which generally require that the individual has a permanent and significant disability affecting their mobility or motor skills. Once eligible for NDIS, a meeting with a planner will be scheduled to set up a personalised plan, which may include physiotherapy services.

Under NDIS Physiotherapy, the scope of treatments is designed to meet your specific needs. Here are common treatments:

• Exercise Programs: Custom exercise plans aim to improve muscle strength, coordination and flexibility.
• Manual Therapy: This includes hands-on techniques like joint mobilisations and soft tissue work.
• Gait Training: Specialised exercises improve your walking and balance.
• Pain Management: Techniques like electrotherapy or dry needling can be used to manage chronic or acute pain.
• Respiratory Techniques: Breathing exercises and techniques are employed for those with respiratory issues to improve lung function.
• Neurological Rehabilitation: Specialised exercises and techniques target functional independence in conditions like stroke or multiple sclerosis.
• Equipment Prescription: Assistive devices like wheelchairs or orthotics can be prescribed based on your specific needs.
• Functional Skills Training: Focused on activities of daily living, this helps you achieve greater independence.

The treatments aim to fulfill your NDIS plan objectives and improve your overall quality of life.

NDIS funding can cover various physiotherapy services aimed at improving mobility, managing pain, and supporting daily living for individuals with disabilities. These services can include exercise therapy to improve strength and flexibility, joint mobilisation to address stiffness, and soft tissue massage to help with muscle tension. Gait training to improve walking and balance, neurological rehabilitation, and pain management techniques such as electrotherapy and dry needling are also commonly available. 

Eligibility for physiotherapy funding under the NDIS is determined based on meeting the program’s criteria, which generally require a significant disability affecting movement or motor skills. Once eligibility is confirmed, a planning meeting is conducted to create a personalised support plan. This process can help ensure that the services included align with the participant’s specific needs and goals.

Physiotherapists offering NDIS-funded services are often registered with the program, meeting all required standards to deliver care within the NDIS framework. Registration helps ensure that the care provided aligns with the necessary guidelines and supports the individual needs of participants. Consult our physiotherapists, NDIS registered, for assistance.
