Author: All For One Physiotherapy Team

If you’re searching for NDIS massage in Yarraville, you’re likely looking for more than just relaxation.

You might be:

  • Managing persistent pain or muscle tension

  • Supporting mobility, comfort, or daily function

  • Looking for a provider who understands the NDIS, not just massage

At All For One, massage therapy is delivered as part of an evidence-based allied health approach, supporting NDIS participants to move more comfortably, participate more fully in daily life, and get meaningful outcomes from their plan.

This article explains:

  • What NDIS massage is (and isn’t)

  • Who it’s suitable for

  • How it fits within an NDIS plan

  • And what to look for in an NDIS massage provider in Yarraville and nearby suburbs

What Is NDIS Massage?

NDIS massage refers to therapeutic or remedial massage delivered by a qualified practitioner when it:

  • Supports your functional goals

  • Helps manage pain, tone, or movement restrictions

  • Complements other allied health supports such as physiotherapy

Massage under the NDIS is not about luxury or pampering.
It’s about improving comfort, movement, and participation in daily activities.

At All For One, massage is often used alongside:

  • Physiotherapy

  • Clinical exercise or Pilates

  • Long-term movement and strength programs

Who Can Benefit From NDIS Massage?

NDIS massage may be appropriate if you experience:

  • Muscle tightness, spasticity, or guarding

  • Chronic pain or discomfort

  • Reduced mobility or stiffness

  • Fatigue related to muscle tension

  • Difficulty tolerating exercise without manual support

We commonly support participants from Yarraville, Seddon, Footscray, Williamstown, Spotswood and the inner west, with a wide range of physical and neurological presentations.

Massage is always tailored to the individual — there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

How Massage Fits Within an NDIS Plan

Massage is typically funded under:

  • Capacity Building – Improved Daily Living

To be appropriate, it should:

  • Link clearly to your goals

  • Support function, comfort, or participation

  • Be delivered by a suitably qualified practitioner

In many cases, massage works best when it’s:

  • Integrated with physiotherapy (we do this too!)

  • Used to reduce pain or tone so movement and exercise are more accessible

  • Part of a longer-term plan, not a standalone intervention

If you’re unsure whether massage fits your plan, our team can help clarify this with you or your support coordinator.

What Makes NDIS Massage at All For One Different?

At All For One, massage is not isolated from the rest of your care.

We work as a multidisciplinary team, meaning:

  • Massage therapists collaborate with physiotherapists

  • Treatment aligns with your broader movement and health goals

  • Care is adjusted as your needs change over time

This approach helps ensure massage is purposeful, not passive.

Is NDIS Massage Right for You?

NDIS massage may be a good fit if:

  • Your plan includes Improved Daily Living funding

  • You want support managing pain or muscle tension

  • You value a calm, inclusive environment

  • You want massage that connects with physiotherapy and movement, not replaces it

It may not be appropriate if massage is being used without a clear goal or functional purpose — something we’re always transparent about.

Supporting Long-Term Health, Not Just Short-Term Relief

Massage can play a valuable role in:

  • Reducing pain and tension

  • Improving tolerance to movement

  • Supporting participation in daily life

But lasting change usually comes from combining hands-on care with active strategies, such as physiotherapy or exercise, at the right pace for you.

That’s the philosophy behind how we support NDIS participants at All For One.
