Experienced telehealth physiotherapy for people living with neurological and complex conditions — delivered to your home, anywhere in the state.
NDIS plan-managed and self-managed participants welcome.
Not sure whether your condition fits? Ask. We'll tell you honestly if telehealth physiotherapy can help.
Where most of our clinical interest sits, and the work we find most rewarding.
Long-term support that adapts as needs change.
Everyday goals that matter just as much.
Living with something not listed?
Ask. Most neurological, musculoskeletal and complex conditions respond well to physiotherapy.
Sessions are active — we work through exercises together, not just talk about them. Every program is built around these six things, adapted to what you need.
We guide you through movement and functional tests you can safely do at home, with a support worker or family member helping where needed.
This isn't a consultation where we talk and you listen. We work through your program together on screen — watching your form, correcting it in real time and adjusting as we go, exactly as we would in a clinic.
After every session you receive a personalised program with video demonstrations of each exercise and a printable PDF, so you're never trying to remember what we did.
We'll teach you and the people supporting you how to use self-myofascial release, braces, straps and taping where they help. Techniques you can keep using between sessions.
Documented goals, timeframes and measurable outcomes — ready for your NDIS plan review.
Support workers, carers and family are welcome. Often the most valuable thing we do is train the person who's there every day.
Telehealth days
Vidhi is an Adelaide-based physiotherapist, with clinical experience across hospital, private practice, sports and community health settings, including work as a team physiotherapist for soccer clubs.
That range matters for the people she sees now. She has worked with neurological conditions in both hospital and private practice — stroke, cerebral palsy, Guillain-Barré, muscular dystrophy and brain injury — alongside musculoskeletal and chronic pain work. Community health taught her how to reach people without easy access to services, which is most of why she built this one.
Her practice is evidence-based and movement-focused, with a consistent goal: restore movement, reduce pain, and build function that lasts. Trained in neuromuscular dry needling, Vidhi has a detailed working knowledge of myofascial and soft tissue pain — and over telehealth she puts that knowledge directly into her clients' hands, teaching them to use massage balls, foam rollers and other release tools to manage their own pain between sessions. The aim is always independence: people who understand their body well enough to look after it themselves.
Vidhi also brings a different perspective on movement to her physiotherapy. She is a Yoga Alliance qualified yoga teacher and meditation practitioner, and has been a Bharatanatyam dancer for over ten years. Dance and yoga train a practitioner to read a body — how it holds tension, compensates, protects itself — which is exactly the skill telehealth demands, where assessment happens through careful observation. It's also why breathing and relaxation work appear in her programs alongside strength and mobility.
Outside clinical practice, she has led large-scale medical camps, including one assessing and treating over 2,100 children with 40+ health practitioners. That work shaped how she thinks about access: good care shouldn't depend on where you happen to live. She plays badminton at community level, and knows from the other side what it takes to keep training through an injury.
Vidhi works in an Adelaide clinic part of the week and delivers telehealth across South Australia on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays.

For neurological and chronic conditions, most of the benefit comes from the right exercises, progressed at the right time and done consistently — and all of that works over video. Research on telerehabilitation after stroke has found outcomes similar to in-person rehabilitation for many people. If you need hands-on treatment, we'll tell you.

Any plan-managed or self-managed NDIS participant in South Australia with therapy funding in their plan. You don't need to be in a particular region — sessions are by video, so anywhere in the state works. This service is for NDIS participants only.
No. NDIS participants don't need a GP referral for physiotherapy. You can refer yourself, or a family member, support coordinator or plan manager can refer for you.
Physiotherapy is funded under Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living in your NDIS plan. Sessions are charged within the NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits, so there's no gap fee when you have therapy funding in your plan.
All of South Australia. Because sessions are by video, we see people from metropolitan Adelaide to the Riverland, Limestone Coast, Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas, Kangaroo Island, the Mid North and remote communities.
A phone, tablet or computer with a camera, a stable internet connection, space to move safely, a sturdy chair, and someone nearby if balance is a concern.
A secure video link that opens in your web browser or on your phone. We'll send it before each session and test it with you before your first appointment.
We'll set it up with you before the first session. Most people manage fine with a phone, and support workers and family are welcome to help.
Yes, and we encourage it. Training the people around you multiplies what we achieve between sessions.
We'll say so and help arrange local in-person care. Telehealth isn't right for everyone and we won't pretend otherwise.
Usually weekly or fortnightly at first, then spaced out as you progress. We decide together.
Yes. You receive a written plan with goals, timeframes and measurable outcomes, and we provide progress reports when your plan review is coming up.
Get in touch and we can talk it through. Sessions need to be funded by an active plan, but we can confirm what's needed so you're ready to start as soon as your plan is in place.
