Physiotherapy

A Physiotherapist works with children of all ages, from infants to adolescents.
Their role is to address a wide range of physical challenges, in relation to movement, posture, strength and coordination, with the aim of supporting a child's overall development and well-being.

Our Physiotherapist believes in conducting in-depth assessments to evaluate your child's movement patterns and motor skills through observation, physical examinations and standardised assessments.
This is an important step in identifying movement challenges or impairments, in order to create a personalised and goal-driven therapy plan.
Our Physiotherapist works alongside other professionals such as Teachers, Speech Pathologists, Occupational Therapists and Paediatricians, to ensure a comprehensive approach to coordinating therapy goals and wholistic development.

Motor skill development:
- Improving gross motor skills such as walking, running, jumping, and coordination.
- This involves exercises and activities designed to enhance strength, balance and flexibility.
Rehabilitation:
- Assisting with recovering from injuries, surgeries, or medical conditions, where therapy is used to assist with restoring function and mobility.
Postural movement correction:
- Addressing issues related to posture, alignment, and movement patterns, by helping to develop more efficient and effective ways of moving and using their bodies.
Pain management:

Assistive devices/equipment prescription:
