I'm so grateful I found about Health Next Door! As a mother of 1 year old twins, I was looking for someone who could travel and start as soon as possible. Also for a physiotherapist who could help each of my twins with their own specific needs. Thank you!

Health Next Door has helped me achieve my mobility, my NDIS goals. You can also have talks where you want to go - to the gym and to work your muscles, even the swimming pool! It makes it easier for you to build your muscles in the pool. I would highly recommend Health Next Door's Physiotherapy Services for all NDIS participants.

After tearing my rotator cuff, I was struggling with pain and limited movement, which made work really tough. The mobile physio sessions at my local gym have been a game changer. Having a physio guide me through rehab in a familiar space with the right equipment has helped me get stronger and back to work faster. The hands-on treatment and tailored exercises have made a huge difference—I feel more confident lifting again and have way less pain.
May
Having a mobile physiotherapist for my mother has been invaluable. The gentle massage has eased her arthritis pain, and the exercises have made her stronger and more stable. She’s had fewer falls and is moving with more confidence. Not having to travel for care has made a huge difference in her comfort and independence.
David
The mobile hydrotherapy service has been really helpful. Having a physiotherapist come to a pool near me has made it much easier to keep up with therapy. The warm water takes the pressure off my joints, making movement less painful, and I’ve noticed improvements in my strength and mobility. It’s not always easy, but having that support in the water makes a big difference.
