Where Our Mobile Physiotherapists Visit
We provide mobile physiotherapy across Adelaide, from Gawler to Marion and east to Mount Barker. Visits to the outer southern suburbs and other parts of the Adelaide Hills may also be available on request.
Our physiotherapists visit people at home, in supported accommodation, residential aged care facilities and other suitable community locations. Seeing how you move in your everyday environment helps us tailor exercises and mobility advice to your goals and the spaces you use.
The map shows our approximate service area. Availability and travel fees depend on your location, the service you need and therapist availability. If you’re unsure whether we visit your suburb, get in touch and we’ll confirm your options.
Our physiotherapists support people to improve their movement, strength, balance, coordination and overall physical function. We work with teenagers and adults living with disability, neurological conditions, injuries and other complex health needs. Support is tailored to each person’s goals, whether they want to move more confidently, participate in everyday activities, maintain their independence or improve their overall wellbeing.
How Our Physiotherapists Can Help
-
Our physiotherapists provide rehabilitation for people with a wide variety of diagnoses. This includes conditions such as stroke, acquired brain injury, spinal cord injuries, Parkinson’s disease, Motor Neurone Disease and Multiple Sclerosis. We work with you step-by-step to help achieve your short and long-term goals.
-
Improving your balance can increase your capacity to transfer and mobilise, ultimately supporting greater independence in the home and community. People who have reduced balance are at much higher risk of falls which can lead to long term injury and disability. We work with you to improve your balance whilst implementing strategies to ensure your home environment is safe and the risk of falls is reduced.
-
Our physiotherapists incorporate strength training into physiotherapy to build strength, improve stability, and enhance mobility. We conduct thorough assessments of your strength so that we can tailor exercises to your individual needs. We can also create home exercise programs you can complete in the comfort of your own home.
-
Physiotherapist-led hydrotherapy offers pain relief, enhanced mobility, safe muscle strengthening, improved balance, and accelerated recovery in a supportive, low-impact water environment.
Our experienced physiotherapists offer one-on-one hydrotherapy at Parafield Gardens. However, we are often able to provide services at a pool local to you on request.
-
Our Physiotherapists can work with you to improve the safety of your gait (walking). They will thoroughly assess your mobility and determine whether you may benefit from a gait aid such as a walking stick or walking frame. They will measure and fit the aid to your individual needs and teach how to safely use it.
-
We can assess your ability to transfer and mobilise and develop a manual handling plan. This plan can be used to guide your formal or informal supports so that they can best support your daily needs. We also offer manual handling training.
-
Assistive technology is any specialised equipment that enhances the learning, working and daily living for people with disabilities. Our physiotherapists work with you to determine whether you may benefit from any assistive technology.
-
Our physiotherapists provide evidence-based guidance to help manage pain. This may include advice regarding ways to self-manage your symptoms and the formulation of a plan to get back to activities you enjoy. We can also assess for pain relief assistive technologies such as a TENS machine and provide education so that they are implemented effectively and safely.
-
Our physiotherapists focus on enhancing cardiorespiratory fitness and endurance through targeted exercises. By strengthening heart and lung function, they help individuals improve aerobic capacity, respiratory strength, and overall endurance. This supports clients in managing health conditions effectively, promoting better performance in daily activities.

Benefits of Mobile Physiotherapy
Assessment in Your Own Environment
Your physiotherapist can see how you move around your home, including getting up from a chair, walking between rooms or managing steps. This helps them understand the activities you want to improve.
Exercises That Fit Your Space
Your physiotherapist can develop an exercise program around your goals, abilities and the space and equipment available at home.
Mobility and Balance Practice
Practising movements in your usual environment can make sessions relevant to daily life. Depending on your goals, therapy may include walking, transfers, strength and balance exercises.
Support With Assistive Technology
Your physiotherapist can observe how you use equipment such as walking aids at home and provide advice on using it as you move through your usual spaces.
Rehabilitation Without Travelling to a Clinic
Home visits can make physiotherapy more accessible if getting to a clinic is difficult due to reduced mobility, fatigue or recovery from illness or injury.
Support for Families and Carers
Where helpful, your physiotherapist can show family members and carers how to support your exercise program or assist with movement and transfers at home.
