Whether you’re a self-managed, plan-managed or agency-managed NDIS participant, we can cater for you.
What can physiotherapy and exercise physiology help with?

- Chronic pain conditions & arthritis
- Improving range of movement and strength
- Falls prevention & management
- Neurological rehab

Our skilled therapists will work with you at your first visit to determine a diagnosis, a plan of action and draw up a service agreement. We will liaise with your plan manager (if you have one) and ensure you get back to the best possible health in a fast, cost-effective manner.
Our service is centred around you and your needs. We can provide home or aged-care facility visits within a certain distance of our clinic, please get in touch with us to determine if this would be possible in your case.
We hold our NDIS patients very dearly, and we would love to help you in any way that we can.
What’s the difference between physiotherapy and exercise physiology?
Good question! There’s a lot of overlap between the two, but basically physiotherapy tends to intervene earlier in the process in order to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the need for other services such as imaging or surgical consultation.
Exercise physiologists design exercise and movement programmes with a view to improving health & wellbeing and rehabilitating certain injuries or surgical procedures. Generally speaking, patients tend to start with a physiotherapist then transition to an exercise physiologist once we’re happy that no further manual therapy or diagnostic procedures are required.
However, lots of patients do commence with exercise physiology without first seeing a physiotherapist if they already know that their condition simply requires an exercise programme. For example, if their GP or specialist has referred them directly to this, or if they know that their condition has already had the hands-on manual therapy treatment that it requires.
Contact us to ask any questions you may have, we’re more than happy to help.
