Paediatrics
Paediatrics is a highly specialised area of physiotherapy, which focuses on creating movement experiences to encourage motor development for babies, children and adolescents.
With an in-depth understanding of gross motor development and biomechanics, our physiotherapist takes a fun approach to rehabilitation, with the use of games, toys and engaging activities to encourage strengthening and confidence to experience movement.

- Babies and toddlers showing delay in achieving gross motor milestones
- Babies with torticollis (tight neck muscle) and/or plagiocephapy (misshapen head)
- School aged children experiencing difficulties with gross motor skills, posture, balance or co-ordination
- Hypermobility and Ehlers Danlos syndrome
- Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
- Juvenile orthopaedics
- Rehabilitation after surgery
- Eating disorders – safe exercise therapy programs, including osteopenia/osteoporosis rehabilitation
