Do you see NDIS patients?

The team at Village Physio all abide by the NDIS Code of Conduct and are registered physiotherapists with the Australia Physiotherapy Association. However, as the majority of our patients are self-funded and private, we are not registered NDIS providers. This means that NDIS participants who are Plan Managed or Self Managed can been seen by us as standard private patients. The patient can then claim back the expense through the NDIS. Unfortunately, those with plans managed through the NDIA will need to seek treatment through specialized NDIS registered clinics.

Your Local Sports Injury Clinic

At Village Physiotherapy, we’re leading the way in running and sports injury treatments. From marathon runners and elite athletes to social players, we treat people with a wide range of sports-related injuries, including inflammation, sprains, muscle tears, tendon and joint pain, and post-surgery rehabilitation.

It’s vital to get proper medical advice and treatment, and make sure you’re fully recovered, before you start participating in your favourite sport again. Getting back too early could cause more, even permanent damage.

At our sports injury clinic in Golden Grove, we can develop a treatment plan that will get you back doing the sport you love as quickly as possible – but also safely and pain free.

Injury Prevention

As well as treating new and chronic injuries, our physios can provide advice on preventing injuries in future. This might include doing pre-workout exercises, wearing the right footwear, and improving your posture and form.

Talking to a physio before you join a gym or start a new sport could prevent serious injury down the track, especially if you haven’t been physically active previously.
