The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) has revolutionised the way Australians living with disabilities access support, enabling greater independence and an improved quality of life. At Wanneroo Physiotherapy, we’re proud to work with NDIS participants to help them achieve their physical health goals. Whether you’re plan-managed or self-managed, our dedicated team is here to support you on your journey.
Understanding Physiotherapy and the NDIS
Physiotherapy is a vital component of many NDIS participants' plans, particularly for those with physical disabilities or conditions that affect mobility, strength, or coordination. It focuses on improving movement, reducing pain, and enhancing overall function, helping participants live more active and independent lives.
The NDIS provides funding for "reasonable and necessary" supports that are directly related to a participant's disability. Physiotherapy often falls under this umbrella, especially when it contributes to achieving goals outlined in the participant’s plan, such as improving mobility, increasing independence, or managing a chronic condition.
How Physiotherapy Can Help
At Wanneroo Physiotherapy, we’re committed to delivering personalised care tailored to each participant’s unique needs and goals. Here’s how we work with NDIS participants:
Initial Assessment and Goal Setting Our journey with NDIS participants begins with a thorough assessment to understand their condition, challenges, and aspirations. We work collaboratively with participants, their families, and support teams to develop a treatment plan aligned with their NDIS goals.
Evidence-Based Treatment Plans Our physiotherapists use evidence-based techniques to address a range of physical issues. Treatments may include:
Strengthening and conditioning exercises
Mobility and balance training
Pain management strategies
Postural and movement education
Ongoing Progress Monitoring Regular reviews and adjustments to treatment plans ensure that participants continue to make progress. Our team provides detailed progress reports that can be shared with NDIS plan managers or coordinators to demonstrate outcomes and justify ongoing support.
Flexible Service Options We understand the importance of flexibility in delivering care. Wanneroo Physiotherapy offers:
In-clinic appointments: Conveniently located in Wanneroo, our clinic provides a supportive environment for therapy sessions.
