Expert paediatric care
Supporting Your Child’s Physical Development
Paediatric physiotherapy involves the assessment, treatment and management of movement and physical development concerns in children aged 0 to 18 years.
Our Physiotherapists are trained to support children experiencing difficulties with gross motor skills, balance, coordination, strength, posture, and physical function. Therapy is guided by the latest research and delivered in an evidence based, family centred and age appropriate way to help each child reach their physical potential.
Whether concerns are acute, chronic, or emerging gradually through growth and development, we work alongside families to create practical, realistic plans that fit into everyday life.
