NDIS Physiotherapy

Physiotherapists play a crucial role in support individuals with disabilities to improve their mobility, physical function and overall quality of life. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia, has seen a shift in how kids and adults with disabilities access therapy and have more control over their path. Whilst All Sorted Physiotherapy is NOT registered with NDIS, we accept self-funded and plan managed clients. Here’s how All Sorted Physiotherapy Gladstone can help with your NDIS journey: 

1. Assessment and Goal Setting: Physiotherapists (Kerrie) conduct thorough assessments to evaluate the individual’s physical abilities, limitations, and specific needs. They collaborate with the participant and their support network to establish goals that are meaningful and achievable.
2. Developing Treatment Plans: Based on the assessment findings and established goals, physiotherapists create personalised treatment plans. These plans may include a combination of exercises (play-based for children), manual therapy, assistive devices, and other interventions aimed at improving mobility, strength, coordination, balance, and pain management.
3. Implementation of Intervention: Physio’s provide holistic therapeutic treatment plans involving hands-on treatments and exercises to enhance physical function. They also educate participants and their caregivers on proper techniques for exercises and activities to promote independence.
4. Monitoring Progress: Throughout the treatment process, physiotherapists monitor the participant’s progress closely. They adjust treatment plans as needed, ensuring that interventions are effective and align with the participant’s evolving needs and goals.
5. Equipment Prescription: They assess the need for mobility aids, orthoses, and other assistive devices. Physiotherapists provide recommendations on suitable equipment and assist with fittings to maximize comfort and functionality.
6. Educational Support: Physiotherapists educate participants and their support networks on injury prevention, safe movement techniques, and strategies to manage physical challenges effectively. This empowers participants to maintain their health and well-being independently.
7. Collaboration and Coordination: Physiotherapists work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals, support coordinators, and service providers involved in the participant’s care. They ensure that interventions are coordinated and integrated into the participant’s overall support plan under the NDIS.
8. Advocacy and Empowerment: Physiotherapists advocate for the participant’s needs and rights within the NDIS framework. They empower participants by promoting self-management skills and encouraging active participation in their rehabilitation journey.

Overall, physiotherapists play a vital role in the NDIS by enhancing the functional capacity and quality of life of individuals with disabilities. They provide holistic care that addresses physical health, mobility challenges, and promotes independence, contributing to the participant’s overall well-being and community participation.
