Paediatric Physiotherapy
Our paediatric physiotherapists specialise in treating children from birth to 19 years of age, focusing on disorders of movement, developmental delays, syndromes, respiratory conditions, orthopaedic issues, and neurological challenges. Through detailed assessments, we create tailored treatment plans that evolve as your child grows, addressing their unique needs in all aspects of life, including physical, educational, social, and cultural development.
Our physiotherapists work as part of a multidisciplinary team that includes families, paediatricians, neurologists, occupational and speech therapists, psychologists, nutritionists, and educators, ensuring a holistic approach to your child’s care. All therapists are highly trained, completing advanced courses in paediatric care to understand child development and its impact on body systems and function.
