NDIS participants in Adelaide often need tailored, consistent physiotherapy support — whether it’s for managing a chronic condition, improving mobility, or supporting daily function. But figuring out how NDIS physiotherapy works, and how to access it in a way that’s convenient and effective, can feel overwhelming.

In this post, we’ll break it all down for you step by step — so you or your loved one can get the support you need, right in the comfort of home.

✅ What Is NDIS Physiotherapy?

Physiotherapy funded by the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is designed to help people with disability:

  • Improve physical function and independence
  • Recover from injury or surgery
  • Manage chronic pain or conditions
  • Prevent falls and mobility decline

At Ariston Rehab, our experienced mobile physiotherapists travel across Adelaide to provide in-home therapy for NDIS participants — with treatment plans tailored to individual goals.

🧾 Step 1: Check if Physiotherapy Is Included in Your NDIS Plan

NDIS funding is divided into three support budgets. Physiotherapy typically falls under:

  • Capacity Building Supports → Improved Daily Living

To check:

  • Log into your NDIS portal or ask your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager
  • Look for line items like “physiotherapy,” “physical therapy,” or “Allied Health supports”

If you're not sure, we can help you interpret your plan and identify what you're eligible for.

🧑‍⚕️ Step 2: Choose the Right Physiotherapy Provider

You have the freedom to choose a provider that suits your needs. In Adelaide, that can mean:

  • Clinic-based providers
  • Mobile physiotherapy (like Ariston Rehab – we come to your home)

What to look for:

  • Experience working with NDIS participants
  • Mobile/in-home therapy availability
  • Friendly, qualified and NDIS-aware clinicians
  • Transparency with session pricing and service agreements

Even if your provider is not NDIS-registered, you may still be able to use them if you're plan-managed or self-managed — Ariston Rehab works with both.

🗓 Step 3: Set Up an Initial Assessment

Once you choose a provider, you’ll need an initial appointment to:

  • Review your NDIS goals
  • Assess your physical function, mobility, pain, etc.
  • Design a personalised treatment plan
  • Discuss how often you’ll need sessions (weekly, fortnightly, etc.)

This also helps build your progress notes and reports, which are important for NDIS reviews.

At Ariston Rehab, we provide friendly, low-pressure assessments that put your comfort and goals first.

💪 Step 4: Begin Therapy at Home – With Support That Fits You

Once your plan is in place, therapy begins. A good physiotherapy program for NDIS clients is:

  • Goal-driven
  • Outcome-focused
  • Flexible with your changing needs
  • Coordinated with your Support Coordinator or Plan Manager (if applicable)

We use hands-on therapy, tailored exercises, education, and assistive strategies to support a wide range of needs – from neurological conditions to post-surgical rehab.

Because we come to your home, you avoid the stress of travel and get care in your natural environment — which often leads to better results.

🧾 Step 5: Track Progress and Report Outcomes

NDIS requires service providers to document therapy outcomes — both to demonstrate effectiveness and to help with plan reviews.

Ariston Rehab provides:

  • Clear, easy-to-understand reports
  • Regular progress updates
  • Coordination with your care team

We help ensure your funding is used effectively and that you get the most value from every session.
