For heel/arch pain, Achilles irritation, shin splints and ankle sprains, we use load management, exercise programs, taping and gait retraining to support recovery and daily movement.

We Support the NDIS. Registered NDIS Provider

NDIS Podiatry Support in Nowra

Navigating the NDIS can sometimes feel like a full-time job, but you don’t have to do it alone. Our Physiotherapy team in Nowra is experienced in working with NDIS participants to create clear, funded roadmaps that align with your specific goals. We focus on “capacity building,” which means we don’t just focus on the therapy session itself—we look at how we can support you to be more independent in your home and community.

We also believe in a team approach. Because we have multiple disciplines under one roof, we can easily hold Case Conferences where your Physiotherapist talks directly to your Occupational Therapist or Dietitian. This ensures everyone is on the same page regarding your funding and your progress, so you don’t have to waste energy repeating your story to five different people. We handle the reporting and the planning, so you can focus on living your life to the fullest.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you generally do not need a referral to book a private appointment with us. However, if you are claiming through Medicare (under a Chronic Disease Management plan), DVA, or WorkCover, you will need a referral from your GP before we can bill those funders directly.
Our standard initial consultation is usually 45–60 minutes. This gives us enough time to listen to your history, assess your movement, and build a plan together. Follow-up sessions are typically 30–45 minutes, depending on the complexity of your needs and your funding plan.
Yes, we can support NDIS participants who have funding allocated for Improved Daily Living or Health and Well-being. We will work with you (and your Support Coordinator if you have one) to map out a service agreement that uses your budget effectively to support your independence.
Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. If you are seeing us for a knee or leg issue, shorts are helpful. If it is for a shoulder issue, a singlet or loose t-shirt is best so we can see how your joints are moving without restriction.
Yes, we have a 48-hour cancellation policy. If you need to reschedule, please let us know at least 48 hours in advance. We frame this as a mutual commitment—it ensures that appointment slots are available for other clients who may need urgent support. Cancellations within 48 hours usually incur a 100% fee.
