Jump Start Kids Physiotherapy

Many of us have peanut balls or gym balls lying around at home! Why not set up a great core and trunk stability exercise for your kids to try :) You can do any variation or twisting or reaching to the floor to engage the core!

It's time for another exercise idea!!! Planking is an amazing exercise that works core and shoulder strength and control. Have a try at home doing variations of planks with your kids... It's great for everyone!!

As the changes to the NDIS have been implemented over the past couple of days, I just wanted to share with you about the rate for physios and what it means for a small business like us. Whilst the rate for therapy services seems high, this is a rough breakdown of how costs are distributed as we try to provide quality, patient-centred care. Changes to the NDIS make it challenging to cover the costs as well as the viability of the business. This is also based on the original rate of $193.99 - physio rates have decreased to $183.99/hr and the cost for travel has been reduced to $91/hr. It is more sustainable for us to remain in the clinic and have patients travel to us; however we know that a lot of children need to be seen in their own environments and that this is evidence-based. We love all our patients and will do everything we can to make sure everyone is cared for and given the services the need xx

EXERCISE FRIDAY! Have a go at home with the kids. Try sitting on a cushion with feet on the wall (or hold a bit of paper on the wall with your feet for a challenge) and reach to retrieve toys or play a game. A strong core means a strong body!!

Stand Up for Disability Support: Stop the NDIS Cuts

18/06/2025

With all the changes the ndis is trying to throw our way which is affecting our ability to do our jobs, we thought some bright happy shirts for physios were warranted! It is always a good day for physiotherapy!!

We love our jobs and the NDIS is making it very difficult for us to do our jobs effectively and provide the support to your kids. The NDIS is cutting the rate for physiotherapy and limiting how we can travel to see patients. With these changes going ahead, it is going to be a difficult road navigating providing services off site, paying our awesome physios who are dedicated to your kids and also looking after our own families. We do this job because we love it, we adore our kids and we love helping them thrive. I will be posting a petition soon, so if you would like to support us in advocating for a fully funded ndis, please sign it. Love Stacey, Jaci and Lulu

Did you know that physio doesn't have to be clinic-based? We travel all around to homes, parks, pools and have even done some sessions at flip out! We can meet our patients where they need and work on what's important to them :). We also travel to many schools and preschools as well. Physio needs to be fun and working toward YOUR goals :)

Our beautiful physio, Jaci, has come back from a well-deserved break from Vietnam! We have missed you and I'm sure all your patients have missed you too! She has brought back this super cool dragon too!

In Nowra, over the next 2 weeks, we will be offering Movement ABC-3 assessments for children aged 3 to 18yo. This assessment is used to assess where a child's gross motor, fine motor and balance/mobility lies compared to their age-matched peers. This is a great assessment to see where your child is and if they are on track or falling behind. For NDIS patients, this is excellent evidence to assist NDIS in identifying deficits and to support funding. If you would like an assessment, we are offering assessments (including a letter/report of results) for $150 (allowing approx 45min to conduct the assessment). Feel free to PM me, email on stacey@jumpstartphysio.com.au or call/text 0491601554 to book in
