NDIS Services at Longevity Edgecliff
Today, Longevity Exercise Physiology Drummoyne, Edgecliff, Marrickville, Bella Vista, Randwick, Pymble, Neutral Bay and Balmain discuss how NDIS (National Disability Insurance Scheme) services are run in Edgecliff and how you can benefit from them.
WHO DO WE HELP UNDER THE NDIS?
Longevity has been providing exercise physiology and personal training services for over 10 years to the Eastern Suburbs community. Our Exercise Physiologists are NDIS registered and provide a gold standard of clinical exercise interventions to help improve the health and wellbeing of clients under the NDIS who have permanent and significant disability, from children and adolescents to adults aged under 65.
Funding for exercise physiology can come from the improve health and wellbeing and improve daily living categories within the capacity building budget (https://www.ndis.gov.au/participants/using-your-plan/managing-your-plan/support-budgets-your-plan#capacity-building-supports-budget) of your NDIS plan.
We work with a wide range of NDIS clients including those with:

- Cerebral Palsy
- Autism Spectrum
- Down Syndrome
- Intellectual disabilities
- Stroke, traumatic or acquired brain injury
- Chronic pain
- Mental health (PTSD, anxiety, depression)
- Schizophrenia
- And many more!

HOW CAN AN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST HELP PEOPLE ON THE NDIS?
For those with a disability, exercise is much more than becoming a little fitter. An exercise physiologist will help you improve your quality of life by:
- Building strength, function, and fitness
- Improving your physical and mental health
- Preventing future health conditions
- Becoming more independent and make activities of daily living easier
- Increasing community engagement and social skills e.g. participation in sports
Longevity’s AEPs are experts at evaluating, designing, and delivering safe and effective exercise programs tailored to your specific needs, preferences, and goals.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN WORKING WITH AN EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGIST?
We will be with you every step of the way, progressing at a suitable pace to match your ability and fitness level. Our aim is to make exercise as fun and enjoyable as possible and we love to get creative with physical activity by incorporating games, challenges, and sport specific movements.
Types of training we use include:
- Cardio Training
- Resistance (Strength) Training
- Functional exercises
- Flexibility and Mobility
- Balance
Longevity believes trust is a big key to success, which is why we aim to build long-lasting relationships with each and every client. To provide the best possible outcomes for NDIS clients, Longevity has developed strong connections with many service providers and support coordinators, and we hold weekly team meetings in which the skills of all our team members are utilised during case discussions.
We have 6 EP’s at Edgecliff; Angela, Courtney, Nate, Ellen, Shannon and Guy. We will match you with the Exercise Physiologist who best meets your goals, interests and personality. Get to know us here: http://longevitypt.com.au/meet-the-team/
