Drift Health has been working with the NDIS community across Sydney for more than 8 years, and more than 130 families have worked with our team.
Our physiotherapists work alongside our exercise physiologists, so if your goals need both, we can talk about how the two would work together.
We’ll assess where you’re at now, talk through your needs and goals, and create a personalised exercise and physiotherapy plan. Then we’ll work on it together, each and every session.

Ask about physiotherapy in your areaYour first visit is mostly about understanding how you move in your own space. It’s a conversation and an assessment, not a workout.
Here’s what your physiotherapist will usually cover.
A chat about what has become difficult and what you’d like to do more easilyWatching you do the activity that matters, such as standing up from your chair or managing the front stepChecking the strength, balance and mobility behind that activity, and explaining what they seeLooking at where you do it, like the hallway, stairs or bathroom, so practice fits your homeAgreeing a first few exercises you can manage between visitsTalking about who you’d like involved and how you prefer to communicateOur connection-first approach starts with getting to know your child: how they communicate, what interests them and what helps them feel comfortable.
Through play, we work on the strength, balance and coordination your child needs to join in with games and manage more of their day independently.
Drift Health also works with children and adults across the NDIS, including people with other disabilities. We’ll talk through your movement goals and how physiotherapy could help.
Explore physiotherapy for children
Your plan can focus on moving more independently or keeping the mobility you have. We’ll work on the strength and balance behind daily activities, such as managing the steps at home.
We’ll also talk about how you prefer to communicate and who you’d like involved in your care. Your goals and choices guide the sessions.
Mobile physiotherapy for adults
Learning to balance, climb or change direction can make it easier to join playground games. We break movement skills into manageable activities and adjust the challenge to your child’s abilities.
You’ll understand what we’re working on and why. We can also talk through ways to practise between sessions that suit your child and your family’s routine.
