Paediatric Physiotherapy for Children of All Abilities

Children with cerebral palsy may experience stiff or floppy muscles that make balance and movement challenging. Our physiotherapy sessions focus on improving muscle control and flexibility through gentle, play-based exercises. We help children gain confidence in standing, walking and exploring their world more freely.

Children with ASD sometimes find certain movements or sensory experiences difficult. Through play and structured movement, we build coordination, motor planning and sensory confidence, helping each child feel more comfortable with movement, touch and changes in their environment.

Genetic conditions such as Down syndrome can affect muscle tone, joint stability and coordination. Our physiotherapists use targeted strengthening, balance and posture activities to help children develop smoother movement patterns, better control and greater independence in everyday play and self-care.

When mobility is affected by structural or progressive conditions, maintaining comfort and movement is key. We use gentle stretching, strengthening, and supportive bracing to enhance function and reduce discomfort, helping children move safely while enjoying as much independence as possible.

For children with DCD, everyday tasks like writing, catching or tying shoes can feel frustrating. We simplify movements into fun, achievable steps, combining coordination games and skill-building exercises that improve control, precision and confidence in daily activities.

When a child’s development progresses more slowly than expected, every achievement matters. Our therapists blend movement practice with play-based learning to build balance, strength and motor skills, allowing children to develop at their own pace while enjoying every success.

If your child over- or under-reacts to sounds, textures or movement, sensory activities can help them feel more secure and engaged. We combine sensory play with gentle physical exercises to help the body regulate and respond comfortably, making play and learning more enjoyable.

Paediatric physiotherapy helps children move, play and grow with confidence. It focuses on building strength, coordination and motor skills through exercises and play tailored to your child’s age and needs. Our physiotherapists work closely with families to support each child’s physical development, comfort and independence.

Yes. The NDIS can fund physiotherapy if it’s considered reasonable and necessary for your child’s goals or daily function. Our team can help you understand how funding applies to your child’s plan and assist with any documentation you need.

In many cases, yes. Physiotherapy that supports your child’s daily activities or independence may qualify as part of your NDIS core funding. Medicare may also subsidise allied health services if you meet certain clinical criteria. 

If you’re unsure, we’re happy to help you explore your options or connect you with the Australian Physiotherapy Association for more guidance.

Your first session is all about getting to know your child. We’ll chat about their development, observe how they move and play, and set some goals together. From there, we’ll create a personalised therapy plan that feels realistic, supportive and fun.

Absolutely. Our mobile physiotherapists can visit your home, school or community setting — wherever your child feels most comfortable. This approach makes therapy convenient for families and helps children practice their skills in familiar environments.

That’s completely okay. Many children feel unsure at first, especially when trying something new. Embedding play in physical therapy sessions (considering the child, the environment, and the family) helps increase engagement, motivation and therapeutic benefit. Our therapists use play, games and encouragement to make each session enjoyable and engaging. We focus on building trust and confidence so your child looks forward to therapy.

Our physiotherapists are experienced in working with children who have complex needs, including cerebral palsy, neuromuscular and genetic conditions. We collaborate closely with families and other healthcare providers to design safe, effective, and individualised programs that support your child’s unique goals.
