Gentle, effective physiotherapy for children of all ages, supporting their growth and development. Our specialized paediatric physiotherapists create a fun, engaging environment where children feel comfortable and motivated to reach their full potential.
Paediatric physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy dedicated to assessing, treating, and supporting the physical development of infants, children, and adolescents. Our qualified paediatric physiotherapists understand that children are not simply small adults, they have unique developmental needs, growing bodies, and require different approaches to treatment. We focus on helping children achieve their developmental milestones, improve motor skills, manage congenital or acquired conditions, recover from injuries, and build confidence in their physical abilities. Treatment is delivered through play-based, child-friendly approaches that make therapy enjoyable while being highly effective. We work closely with families, schools, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive, holistic care that supports your child's overall wellbeing and development.
Paediatric physiotherapy benefits children with a wide range of conditions and needs. Infants and toddlers who are delayed in reaching developmental milestones like rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking can receive early intervention support. Children with neurological conditions such as cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, or developmental coordination disorder benefit from specialized movement therapy. Young athletes dealing with sports injuries or wanting to prevent them through proper training can access expert care. Children with postural issues from prolonged screen time, heavy school bags, or growth spurts receive assessment and correction. Those with respiratory conditions like cystic fibrosis or asthma learn breathing techniques and airway clearance. Additionally, children recovering from fractures, surgeries, or accidents, as well as those with chronic pain conditions or hypermobility, all benefit from our family-centered, compassionate approach.
Your child's first visit begins with a comprehensive assessment in a welcoming, child-friendly environment. We observe how your child moves, plays, and interacts, while discussing your concerns and goals. Assessment may include evaluating muscle strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, posture, and achievement of age-appropriate milestones. Based on our findings, we create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your child's specific needs and interests. Treatment sessions incorporate play-based activities, games, exercises disguised as fun challenges, and age-appropriate equipment to keep children engaged and motivated. We provide hands-on guidance, manual therapy when needed, and teach exercises that can be continued at home. Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, with frequency depending on your child's condition. Parents are actively involved throughout, learning how to support their child's progress between sessions. We celebrate every achievement, no matter how small, to build confidence and enthusiasm for continued improvement.
