In-Home MND Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy

Practical, home-based therapy for NDIS participants living with motor neurone disease, delivered by AHPRA-registered clinicians across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Logan, Ipswich and Redlands.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOU

Motor neurone disease can change how a person walks, transfers, manages fatigue and completes everyday activities. As these needs change, therapy must be practical, responsive and based on the person’s real environment.

Our physiotherapists and occupational therapists assess movement, daily routines, equipment and accessibility in the participant’s home. This helps us recommend strategies and supports that are relevant to everyday life not based on what happens inside a clinic.

We work alongside participants, families, carers and support coordinators to address current priorities while preparing for future changes. Regular physiotherapy and occupational therapy reviews can help identify changing mobility, equipment and daily living needs.

RESPONSIVE MND SUPPORT

Therapy That Adapts as Your Needs Change

Everyone experiences MND differently. The order, timing and effect of symptoms can vary, which means therapy should be reviewed and adjusted as the participant’s abilities, routines and support needs change. Back2You Therapy provides ongoing in-home assessment rather than relying on a fixed treatment program. Our clinicians can identify new risks, trial practical strategies and recommend equipment before everyday activities become unnecessarily difficult or unsafe. MND Australia advises that assistive technology needs may change quickly and should be reviewed regularly.
Mobility, Walking and Falls Prevention

Physiotherapy assessment for changes in walking, balance, lower-limb function and falls risk, with practical strategies suited to the participant’s current abilities.

Support with moving between beds, chairs, wheelchairs, toilets and vehicles, including techniques and equipment that may make transfers safer.
Individually paced movement, positioning and daily activity strategies designed around fatigue, discomfort, stiffness and changing muscle function.
Occupational therapy assessment of seating, posture, wheelchair requirements and pressure-management needs to support comfort and safe positioning.
Recommendations for bathroom equipment, transfer aids, mobility equipment and other assistive technology that may reduce effort or support daily activities.
Assessment of entrances, bathrooms, bedrooms and movement throughout the home, with recommendations for changes such as rails, ramps, widened access or bathroom modifications.

The Back2You Therapy Difference for MND

Our approach brings physiotherapy and occupational therapy together around the participant’s changing functional needs.

Consistent Clinicians

Where possible, participants see the same therapist across ongoing appointments. This allows the clinician to understand established routines, recognise changes and build continuity with the participant and their support network.

Practical Recommendations

Assessments take place where daily activities actually happen. Equipment, transfer and accessibility recommendations are based on the participant’s home, current abilities and available support.

Coordinated NDIS Support

We communicate with participants, families, carers and support coordinators so that therapy recommendations, reports and future support needs are clearly understood.

PHYSIOTHERAPY & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

MND Support Delivered Where Daily Life Happens

In-home therapy allows our clinicians to understand the participant’s movement, equipment, routines and physical environment together.

Depending on the participant’s needs, support may involve physiotherapy, occupational therapy or coordinated input from both disciplines.

YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT

What an In-Home MND Therapy Session Looks Like

Your first appointment focuses on understanding what has recently changed, which activities are becoming difficult and what support is most important right now.

1. Discuss Current Priorities

The therapist speaks with the participant and, where appropriate, family members or carers about mobility, fatigue, daily activities, equipment and immediate concerns.

2. Assess Function at Home

The clinician observes relevant activities such as walking, transferring, positioning, personal care or moving through the home.

3. Review Equipment and Access

Existing equipment, seating and home access are reviewed to identify safety concerns, unnecessary effort or emerging needs.

4. Agree on Practical Next Steps

The therapist explains immediate strategies and whether further therapy, equipment trials, reports or home modification recommendations may be appropriate.

5. Coordinate Ongoing Support

With consent, we can communicate relevant findings and recommendations to the participant’s family, support coordinator and broader care team.
