NDIS services available at Advanced Health
The following services at Advanced Health can be funded under relevant NDIS support categories:
Chiropractic — NDIS support
Andrew Cunningham provides NDIS chiropractic care for participants with musculoskeletal conditions, chronic pain, or physical disabilities that benefit from spinal and joint management.

Andrew’s integrative approach — combining adjustment, soft tissue therapy, and dry needling — is appropriate for NDIS participants with complex or long-standing musculoskeletal presentations.
See our Chiropractic page for service details.
Remedial Massage — NDIS support
NDIS remedial massage is provided by our degree-qualified therapists for participants whose disability or chronic condition involves significant muscle tension, pain, or restricted mobility that responds to remedial massage. Remedial massage typically falls under Improved Daily Living. Regular therapeutic massage can meaningfully improve comfort, mobility, and quality of daily life for participants with physical disabilities, chronic pain conditions, and neurological presentations.
See our Remedial Massage page for service details.
Clinical Pilates — NDIS support
Clinical Pilates at Advanced Health is supervised by Andrew — an AHPRA-registered chiropractor — using Reformer, Trapeze Table, and mat equipment. For NDIS participants, clinical Pilates falls under Improved Daily Living and can also be funded under Improved Health and Wellbeing where relevant. Clinical Pilates is particularly appropriate for NDIS participants working on core stability, balance, posture, and functional movement for daily tasks.
See our Clinical Pilates Preston page for service details.
Personal Training — NDIS support (Capacity Building)
NDIS personal training at Advanced Health is provided by Andrew Cunningham — a chiropractor with 15+ years of personal training experience. Personal training under NDIS falls under Capacity Building — Improved Health and Wellbeing. Sessions focus on building functional strength, improving cardiovascular fitness, and developing the physical capacity to participate in daily activities and community life.
Personal training sessions are conducted at Snap Fitness Preston — around the corner from the Advanced Health clinic — giving participants access to full gym equipment in a supported, supervised environment. Andrew’s clinical background means he programmes appropriately for participants with physical disability, chronic pain, or movement dysfunction.

FAQs about NDIS allied health in Preston
Is chiropractic covered by NDIS?
Chiropractic can be funded under NDIS under the Improved Daily Living support category, depending on your plan goals. It’s not automatically included in all plans — it needs to be linked to a specific goal in your plan related to managing a physical condition or improving daily function. Your plan manager or support coordinator can advise on whether your plan supports chiropractic funding.
Does NDIS cover personal training?
Yes — personal training can be funded under the Capacity Building — Improved Health and Wellbeing support category. It needs to be linked to a health and wellbeing goal in your plan. Andrew provides NDIS personal training at Advanced Health through Snap Fitness Preston.
Can I use my NDIS funding for multiple services at Advanced Health?
Yes, if your plan includes funding for those categories. Many participants use NDIS funding for both chiropractic (Improved Daily Living) and personal training (Capacity Building) simultaneously. Check your plan to confirm which categories are funded and at what level.
