The NDIS & physiotherapy

Physiotherapy is included in the Improved Day Living category under the NDIS Capacity Building budget.

This category offers support and therapy as well as assessment. It can also include a range of therapies provided by allied healthcare services like physiotherapists.

While they can help with many things, physiotherapists often focus on mobility and mobility. They also teach breathing techniques.

Does the NDIS include physiotherapy?

If the NDIS covers physiotherapy, it may be covered if the need is directly connected to a disability. If your disability is not the reason you need physiotherapy treatment, it won’t be covered.

While physiotherapy can be an effective pain management strategy, the NDIS may not cover it if the pain is due to a disability.

You should be aware that the NDIS may not pay for physiotherapy needed to treat patients following surgery. This service can be provided by the health system.
