NDIS and Exercise Physiology

When it comes to supporting individuals with disabilities in achieving their health and wellbeing goals, the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) plays a crucial role.

One area where the NDIS has made significant strides is in the field of exercise physiology. By recognising the importance of tailored exercise programs and therapeutic interventions for people with disabilities, the NDIS has opened up avenues for improved physical and mental health outcomes.

Exercise physiology focuses on using exercise as a means to enhance overall health and function. It involves developing personalised exercise programs that cater to individual needs and abilities. Through the NDIS, individuals can access funding for exercise physiology services as part of their disability support plan.

The integration of exercise physiology into disability support has proven to be transformative for many individuals. By working closely with qualified professionals in this field, people with disabilities can experience a range of benefits such as increased strength and mobility, improved cardiovascular fitness, enhanced mental well-being, and better management of chronic conditions.
