Physiotherapy and NDIS Participants

Physiotherapy is just one of the many supports that can be utilised by NDIS Participants

Many NDIS participants can benefit from the services provided by a physiotherapist.

You might think of a physiotherapist as someone who treats sportspeople and athletic injuries only, but they do so much more than that!
