NDIS & Home Visit Physiotherapy Pakenham

For some people, travelling to a physiotherapy clinic can be difficult. Mobility limitations, disability, transport, fatigue, or other circumstances may make receiving care at home more practical.

At Racecourse Road Family Health – Pakenham, physiotherapy focuses on meaningful goals such as mobility, strength, balance, physical function, and greater independence with everyday activities.

NDIS Physiotherapy in Pakenham

Physiotherapy may form part of an NDIS participant’s broader plan where it relates to their individual functional needs and approved supports.

Our physiotherapists can provide individualised programs focused on areas such as:

Support is based on the participant’s individual needs, abilities, and goals.

Physiotherapy focused on your goals

NDIS physiotherapy should have a practical purpose.

Rather than focusing solely on exercises performed during appointments, treatment can work towards activities that are meaningful in everyday life.

Goals might include:

• Moving around the home more independently
• Improving walking capacity
• Building strength
• Improving balance
• Participating in community activities
• Completing everyday tasks
• Maintaining mobility
• Increasing confidence with movement

Your physiotherapist can develop and progress exercises around these goals.

The benefit of physiotherapy in your own environment

Being assessed at home can provide useful insight into the activities you complete every day.

Your physiotherapist may be able to consider practical tasks such as:

• Moving between rooms
• Getting up from a chair
• Walking around the home
• Managing steps
• Completing everyday movements
• Performing a home exercise program

This can help make rehabilitation directly relevant to your daily environment.

Strength & Balance Exercise Programs

Exercise programs can be adapted according to your physical capacity and the equipment available.

These may include:

• Strength exercises
• Balance training
• Resistance-band exercises
• Mobility exercises
• Walking practice
• Functional movements
• Home exercise programs

Programs are reviewed and progressed according to individual response.

Working within a broader care team

Some patients receive support from multiple healthcare and disability professionals.

Where appropriate and with relevant consent, physiotherapy can form part of this broader approach to care.

Having access to multiple health services through Racecourse Road Family Health may also help support continuity of care.
