What is NDIS Physiotherapy?

NDIS physiotherapy provides personalised care designed to help participants improve physical function, reduce pain, and enhance independence. Whether the goal is to regain mobility, manage the physical effects of a disability, recover after surgery or injury, or improve strength and flexibility, physiotherapy supports participants to achieve outcomes that matter to them.

Physiotherapists working with NDIS participants have advanced knowledge of how disabilities and chronic health conditions affect the body. They conduct detailed assessments and design treatment plans tailored to each person’s abilities, challenges, and lifestyle. Support focuses on improving movement, promoting functional independence, and increasing confidence in daily activities.

CarePhase connects participants with physiotherapists who deliver goal-oriented care and adapt therapy strategies to suit changing needs and preferences over time.

Explore NDIS physiotherapy services

NDIS physiotherapy includes a wide range of services designed to help participants reach their personal goals. Your physiotherapist will recommend a combination of therapies based on your individual situation.

Initial Assessments and Evaluations

Your physiotherapist will begin with a thorough assessment of your mobility, balance, strength, posture, and how your physical challenges affect daily life. They will discuss your goals and develop a clear, achievable plan that supports your personal priorities.

Customised Exercise Programs

You will receive a structured exercise program tailored to your ability level and goals. Exercises focus on improving strength, balance, flexibility, endurance, and coordination. The aim is to make movement easier, safer, and more comfortable, helping you complete daily tasks with less effort and greater confidence.

Manual Therapy and Joint Mobilisation

Your physiotherapist may provide hands-on treatments such as joint mobilisation, muscle stretching, and soft tissue massage. These techniques are used to reduce stiffness, relieve pain, improve range of motion, and support better physical function.

Pain Management Techniques

Living with chronic or acute pain can be challenging. Physiotherapists use evidence-based methods including pacing strategies, movement exercises, gentle manual therapies, and pain education to help you manage discomfort and improve quality of life.

Functional Task Training

Therapy sessions may focus on daily activities such as dressing, moving between a bed and chair, using the bathroom, preparing meals, or completing household tasks. Functional training supports greater independence and promotes safe, confident movement at home and in the community.

Assistance with Mobility Aids

Your physiotherapist can assess whether you may benefit from mobility aids such as walking frames, crutches, or wheelchairs. They can recommend appropriate equipment, make necessary adjustments, and teach you how to use aids safely and effectively.

Neurological Rehabilitation

If you are living with a neurological condition—such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, or motor neurone disease—your physiotherapist can provide rehabilitation therapies that support movement control, reduce muscle stiffness, and promote independence.

Respiratory Physiotherapy

Participants with breathing difficulties related to conditions such as COPD, asthma, or neuromuscular disorders can benefit from respiratory physiotherapy. Your physiotherapist can provide breathing exercises, airway clearance techniques, and strategies to conserve energy and improve lung function.
