We assess each child’s current functioning level and create an individualised plan to help them reach their maximum potential. Our therapies are fun, engaging, and tailored to meet their unique needs.
Developmental physiotherapy is aimed at helping children achieve their physical milestones. This includes improving key gross motor skills (such as sitting, crawling, and walking).
Our physiotherapists use play-based activities to make therapy fun and engaging helping to promote a child’s physical development and aim at future independence.
Dynamic Movement Intervention is a cutting-edge therapy that focuses on improving motor skills, strength, and coordination. DMI is suitable for children with motor impairments and helps them achieve greater independence.
This groundbreaking approach involves a carefully curated set of exercises and techniques that challenge and stimulate the neuromuscular system.
Our paediatric physios use the LiteGait and GaitKeeper Rehabilitation treadmills for specialised treatment focusing on enhancing balance, coordination, and strength, enabling children to move more efficiently and confidently.
The harness system provides partial weight bearing support for children who cannot walk independently.
Intensive physiotherapy in early intervention provides high frequency, targeted therapy to maximise neuroplasticity, promote motor development and improve functional outcomes in young children with disabilities and mobility challenges.
Hydrotherapy, or physio in water, is a fun way for children to improve their rehabilitation and exercise outcomes, with the reduced gravity and buoyancy in the pool assisting a child to do things they may not be able to do on land.
Water provides five times the resistance of air allowing more effective cardiovascular fitness improvement, and helps to strengthen both the limbs and the core simultaneously.
We’ll work with you to find the best solutions for your child’s needs with equipment prescriptions such as complex seating, standing frames, wheelchairs and orthotic management.
Following a thorough initial assessment and discussion with you and/or your child regarding their goals, we will recommend an appropriate frequency of intervention for your child. The frequency of sessions will generally vary depending on a wide range of factors including:
Your child’s goals - Some children require and benefit from regular weekly appointments, whereas others require a light touch approach with less frequent sessions.
Other commitments - Physio often forms part of a multi-disciplinary approach to your child’s rehabilitation, so other allied health and medical appointments and commitments such as school often dictate what intervention may look like.
Please get in touch to discuss your child’s physio needs or to discuss possible appointment times and openings.
A referral from a doctor or health professional is welcomed, but not necessary.
Tell us your child’s needs by phone or email and we can decide on the best plan for you and your child.
