NDIS sports physio team, Five Dock and Gladesville
Seven clinicians. Three have worked in Paralympic sport. Our team includes clinicians who have worked at the Wheelchair Rugby World Cup, with the NSW Paralympic Football team and with the Australian Paralympic Volleyball team. For an NDIS participant with a sporting goal, that is direct knowledge of what para-sport asks of a body and what it takes to get there.
