EQUIPMENT FOR PHYSIOTHERAPY, EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY, OT AND NDIS PROVIDERS
You already see it. Now measure it and train it.
For clinicians who can see how balance, the brain and movement connect, and want the tools to do something about it. Build a balance, dizziness, concussion or falls service with equipment we use in our own clinic every week.
For physiotherapists, exercise physiologists, occupational therapists, clinic owners and NDIS providers.
Sound familiar?
The things clinicians and clinic owners tell us before they start.
“Clients plateau once the pain settles, and we can see why.”
PHYSIOTHERAPISTS
“We want to add a balance, dizziness or concussion service.”
CLINIC OWNERS
“Our NDIS participants need sessions that are engaging and measurable.”
NDIS PROVIDERS
“More of our older clients are worried about falling.”
EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS
“Our best clinicians keep asking for better tools.”
CLINIC OWNERS
“We’re fitting out a new rehab gym.”
PRACTICE MANAGERS
Built for your profession
Same equipment, used three different ways.
Dizziness, concussion, neck and balance, in one room.
Graded rotation, head-eye work, neck training and reactive balance, with the data to show progress.
Vestibular and dizziness programs
Controlled spinning and harness-supported walking and turning, graded to each client.
Vestibular Training
Concussion and return to sport
Combine neck and vestibular work, then load reaction and decision-making before return to play.
TopSpin360 · Vestibular Training · SMARTfit
Reactive balance and falls
A floor or treadmill that tilts without warning trains the reflexes that recover a slip or trip.
Reax Board · Reax Run
Neck strength and control
Multi-direction neck training for athletes and robust return-to-load.
TopSpin360
Dual-task gait and cognition
Walk, reach and balance while solving targets on the wall.
SMARTfit
Two routes in. One nervous system.
You already know it: the client in front of you isn't just a joint or a muscle. These tools let you work both routes into the nervous system, and show the change.
BOTTOM UP
Sensory input and reflexes
Graded rotation, head movement, unstable surfaces and moving loads challenge the balance system (vestibular system), the eyes and body sense, and the reflexes they drive.
Vestibular Training · Reax Board · Reax Run · TopSpin360
TOP DOWN
Attention, decisions, dual-task
Cognitive targets on the wall make the brain plan, choose and drive the movement: walking while thinking, reaching while deciding, balancing while remembering.
SMARTfit
MEASURE, TRAIN, RE-TEST
Show clients the change.
Reaction and performance data give you a baseline and something to re-test against. At Ikigai Shift we re-test every 12 weeks so clients can see their own progress.
FOR NDIS PROVIDERS
Engaging sessions. Objective progress.
Participants come back for sessions they enjoy, and planners want to see what's changed. We work with NDIS participants every week at Ikigai Shift, so we know what both sides need.
Use it inside your therapy sessions
Games scale from simple to complex, seated or standing, so the same kit suits a wide range of participants and goals.
Data for progress reports
Reaction and performance results give you objective measures to track against each participant's goals.
Safe, supported practice
Harness-supported walking, turning and reaching lets participants practise movements they'd otherwise avoid.
If a participant needs their own equipment
That's assistive technology, funded through the participant's plan under NDIS rules. Mid-cost items ($1,500–$15,000) need written evidence; high-cost items (over $15,000) need an AT assessment and a quote. Check current NDIS guidance.
From equipment to a new service
Most clinics don't want more gear. They want a service clients ask for by name. Here's how we help you get there.
1
Choose your focus
Balance and dizziness, concussion, falls, neuro, kids or performance.
2
Match the kit and space
The right equipment for your caseload and your room.
3
Train your team
Screening, dosing, progressions and re-testing, in a package priced separately.
4
Measure and re-test
Baselines and regular re-tests so clients see their progress.
5
Tell people
Launch the service within AHPRA advertising rules, using de-identified results.
See it in a room like yours
Two starting points. Send us your room size and a few photos, and we'll suggest a layout.

What the evidence supports
The approaches these tools deliver are well studied. The tools themselves mostly aren't yet, and we say so.
Vestibular rehab works
Across 39 trials, vestibular rehabilitation beat control for dizziness in people with inner-ear balance problems (OR 2.67), with no adverse effects reported.
McDonnell & Hillier 2015, Cochrane
A strong recommendation
The US clinical practice guideline strongly recommends offering vestibular rehabilitation for one- or both-sided vestibular loss.
Hall et al. 2022, J Neurol Phys Ther
Exercise cuts falls
Exercise reduced the rate of falls in older people by 23%, and balance and functional exercise by 24%.
Sherrington et al. 2019, Cochrane
Reactive balance helps
Perturbation-based balance training reduced the risk of falling (RR 0.71) and the rate of falls (0.54) in older adults and people with Parkinson’s.
Mansfield et al. 2015, Phys Ther
Neck and vestibular after concussion
In a small trial, 73% of patients given neck and vestibular rehab were cleared to return to sport within 8 weeks, versus 7% of controls.
Schneider et al. 2014, Br J Sports Med
Dual-task: real but modest
Across 91 trials in older adults, motor-cognitive training gave small gains in gait speed and balance, but not in dual-task walking.
Teraz et al. 2022, Front Psychol
Ways to bring it into your clinic
Start with one piece of kit, or let us build the whole service with you.
1 · EQUIPMENT
The kit, set up
