The NDIS aims to empower people with disabilities by funding a wide range of services tailored to their specific needs and goals. At Compass Allied Health we provide services funded by the NDIS including physiotherapy, exercise physiology, assistive therapy and support workers to support you. The NDIS enables us to help individuals to take greater control of their care, promoting independence and encouraging active participation in their communities.
Exercise physiology is the study of the body’s response to physical activity and exercise. It involves using exercise as a therapeutic tool to prevent, manage, and treat various health conditions, such as chronic diseases, injuries, and disabilities. Exercise physiologists assess an individual’s physical fitness, design tailored exercise programs, and monitor progress to improve strength, endurance, flexibility, and overall well-being. They work with people of all ages and abilities, from athletes to those with health challenges, to enhance functional capacity and improve health outcomes through evidence-based exercise interventions.
Physiotherapy is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing physical problems related to movement and function. Physiotherapists use a variety of techniques, including exercises, manual therapy, and education, to help individuals recover from injuries, manage chronic conditions, and improve mobility. Physiotherapy is effective in treating a wide range of conditions, from musculoskeletal injuries and neurological disorders to respiratory issues and post-surgical rehabilitation. It aims to restore physical function, reduce pain, and improve the overall quality of life for patients of all ages.
Support work involves assisting individuals with disabilities or other support needs in their daily lives to help them live more independently and engage in their communities. Support workers provide personalised care and assistance with various activities, such as personal care, meal preparation, transportation, household tasks, and social participation. They work closely with individuals to create tailored care plans and provide emotional support, ensuring that clients feel empowered and supported throughout their day-to-day activities.
Therapy Assistance, aka Allied Health Assistance (AHA), refers to the support provided by trained professionals who work alongside allied health practitioners, such as physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and exercise physiologists, to deliver care and services to individuals. Therapy assistants help implement treatment plans, assist with therapeutic activities and provide support in clinics, hospitals or community settings. Their role is vital in ensuring that clients receive consistent care, helping them progress with their rehabilitation or therapy while assisting in daily tasks to improve overall well-being.
Hydrotherapy, also known as warm-water or aquatic therapy, involves the use of warm water to aid in the rehabilitation, treatment, and prevention of various medical conditions. This therapy is performed in a warm water pool, where the properties of water—such as buoyancy, resistance, and temperature—are used to facilitate movement and exercise. Hydrotherapy is often recommended for individuals with musculoskeletal, neurological, or chronic conditions, as it provides a low-impact environment that reduces stress on joints and promotes healing.
Remedial massage is a therapeutic technique that focuses on treating musculoskeletal pain, injury, or dysfunction. It involves the use of various massage techniques, such as deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and stretching, to target specific areas of tension or injury in the body. The goal of remedial massage is to improve mobility, reduce pain, promote healing, and restore function by addressing both acute and chronic conditions. It is often used for conditions like muscle strain, joint pain, and postural issues.
