"I am so grateful to Simon for not immediately placing me [as others have - all my life] in his 'too hard basket' [due to my significant physical disability] the day I presented myself off the street, to his Clinic! In fact, I learned very quickly, Simon does not even have a 'too hard basket' ... for anyone!
In four (4) months of attending the Melbourne Sports & Allied Health Clinic, my physical strength; overall fitness; activities of daily living functionality and, my mental health - have all improved beyond what I even thought would be possible!
I'm not stopping my attendance at the Clinic any time soon!" Mary

Assessments - measuring mobility; balance; strength; stamina; body composition (muscle mass, bone mineral density, & body fat); health and injury considerations. 

Getting started with an individualised assessment

During our first meeting with NDIS participants, we establish a strong understanding of the participants desires and goals, and then develop the most effective action plan of individual or combined services to improve health, wellbeing, functional capacity, and daily living skills.

To ensure that intervention methods are targeted to individual needs, we are extremely well resourced with high precision technology and expertise, to provide individualised assessments with the capacity to quantify, and better understand:

• movement and mobility characteristics
• pain and discomfort
• muscle and joint dysfunction
• symmetry between left and right limbs
• anatomical & physiological capacity
• risk of trips/falls/injuries
• risk of developing chronic diseases or other co-existing complex conditions

Once assessed, the high precision and robust data is interpreted, and the findings put into practice with the most appropriate level and frequency of service/s. Our comprehensive reports include professional recommendations for your ongoing support needs and is also a valuable resource for your NDIS area coordinator when it comes time to reviewing your NDIS plan.
