NDIS Physiotherapy at Beaumaris Physio & Health

Physiotherapy can support people living with disability to work towards physical  and functional goals that  are important to them.

Every person has different  abilities, challenges and goals, so our physiotherapy programs are individually tailored.

Depending on your needs, physiotherapy may focus on areas such as:

• Strength
• Mobility
• Balance
• Walking and gait
• Physical conditioning
• Coordination and movement
• Flexibility and range of movement
• Functional activities
• Exercise participation
• Maintaining physical capacity
• Building confidence with movement
• Increasing independence with everyday activities

Your physiotherapist will assess your current physical function and discuss the goals that are important to you before developing an appropriate treatment and exercise program.

Who Can Access Our NDIS Physiotherapy Services?

Beaumaris Physio & Health provides physiotherapy for NDIS participants
whose relevant funding is:

• Self-managed
• Plan-managed

If your NDIS funding is self-managed, you manage payment for your supports and make claims according to your plan.

If your funding is plan-managed, your plan manager manages  payments for eligible supports on your behalf.

If you are unsure whether you can use your NDIS funding for physiotherapy at Beaumaris Physio & Health, please contact our team or speak with your plan manager before making an appointment.

What Can NDIS Physiotherapy Help With?

The goals of physiotherapy will depend on your disability, current physical abilities, NDIS goals and individual circumstances.

Physiotherapy may assist with areas such as:

• Improving or maintaining strength
• Improving mobility
• Improving balance
• Walking and gait rehabilitation
• Building physical capacity
• Maintaining joint mobility
• Improving confidence with movement
• Developing an individual exercise program
• Improving ability to perform everyday physical activities
• Increasing participation in exercise and physical activity
• Falls prevention and balance training
• Developing strategies to support greater physical independence

For some participants, the goal may be to improve a particular physical ability. For others, physiotherapy may focus on maintaining existing physical capacity and helping them remain as active and independent as possible.

Individual Exercise & Strength Rehabilitation

Exercise rehabilitation can form an important part of NDIS physiotherapy.

Rather than providing the same exercise program to everyone, our physiotherapists develop programs based on your current abilities and individual goals.

Our Beaumaris rehabilitation facilities include:

• Pilates Reformers
• Trapeze Tables
• Ladder Barrels
• Free weights
• Squat racks
• Strength and rehabilitation equipment

Having access to a range of equipment allows exercises to be adapted and progressed according to your abilities.

Your program may begin with simple supported exercises and gradually progress towards more challenging strength, balance and functional activities where appropriate.

NDIS Physiotherapy for Strength & Mobility

Strength and mobility can influence many everyday activities, including walking, getting out of a chair, using stairs, moving around the
community and participating in recreational activities.

Your physiotherapist can assess your current strength and mobility and develop exercises appropriate for your abilities.

Rehabilitation may include:

• Lower limb strengthening
• Upper body strengthening
• Core and trunk exercises
• Walking practice
• Functional strengthening
• Mobility exercises
• Balance exercises
• General physical conditioning

Exercises can be modified and progressed over time according to your response and goals.

Balance, Walking & Falls Prevention

For participants experiencing difficulties with balance or walking, physiotherapy may focus on improving physical capacity and confidence with movement.

Your physiotherapist may assess areas including:

• Balance
• Lower limb strength
• Walking
• Functional mobility
• Transfers
• Movement strategies

An individual exercise program can then be developed based on the assessment findings and your goals.

Where appropriate, physiotherapy may also include strategies aimed at reducing falls risk and improving confidence with everyday mobility.

Physiotherapy to Support Independence & Everyday Function

One of the important roles of physiotherapy can be helping people develop or maintain the physical abilities required for everyday life.

Your goals might include being able to:

• Walk further
• Improve your balance
• Become stronger
• Get up from a chair more easily
• Manage stairs
• Participate in exercise
• Return to a recreational activity
• Improve confidence with movement
• Maintain your current physical abilities
• Become more independent with everyday physical activities

We work with you to understand which activities are important to you and develop your rehabilitation around meaningful and achievable goals.

NDIS Home Visit Physiotherapy

For participants who have difficulty attending our Beaumaris clinic, home visit physiotherapy may be available in selected surrounding suburbs.

A home visit allows your physiotherapist to assess your mobility and physical function within your everyday environment.

Depending on your needs, a home physiotherapy session may include:

• Strength exercises
• Balance exercises
• Walking and gait rehabilitation
• Functional mobility
• Exercise prescription
•  Falls prevention strategies
• Home exercise programs
• Advice relating to everyday physical activities

Home visit availability depends on your location and our physiotherapists’ schedules, so please contact Beaumaris Physio & Health to discuss whether we can provide a home visit in your area.

Clinic-Based NDIS Exercise Rehabilitation

Where participants are able to attend our Beaumaris clinic, our rehabilitation facilities allow us to provide progressive exercise programs using both Pilates-based and traditional strength equipment.

Depending on your abilities and goals, this may include:

• Clinical exercise
• Pilates-based rehabilitation
• Strength training
• Balance exercises
• Functional exercise
• Mobility training
• General physical conditioning

Programs can be adjusted and progressed over time as your abilities and physical capacity change.

Working Towards Your NDIS Goals

Your physiotherapy program should relate to your individual needs and goals rather than simply focusing on a diagnosis.

At your initial  appointment, we will discuss what you would like to achieve and assess your current physical function.

We can then develop a physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation program based on your individual circumstances.

Your progress can be reviewed over time and your program adjusted as your needs and goals change.
