Paediatric Physiotherapy

Our physiotherapists are able to assess and provide treatment and therapy to children of all ages (from birth right up to 18 years). We understand that children are not little adults and require a unique approach that incorporates both therapy and fun.

We can provide a uniquely tailored programme to your child based on their needs. Our physiotherapists are able to provide a large range of interventions, including play-based therapy, casting and splinting (including serial casting), hydrotherapy, manual therapy and prescribe assistive technologies.

We are also able to work with the multidisciplinary team to provide holistic therapy for children with more complex disabilities, as well as communicate with NDIS planners and provide NDIS reports where required.

We accept parent self-referrals, referrals from paediatricians, community health nurses, other allied health professionals, general practitioners and those with NDIS plans.
