What a2z helps with

Physiotherapy

Treatment that uses movement, exercise and hands-on techniques to improve physical function, strength and mobility. For children, physiotherapy often targets gross motor development, balance and coordination; for adults it addresses pain, injury recovery and long-term conditions.

Occupational Therapy

A therapy that helps children and adults develop the everyday skills needed for daily life — from dressing, writing and play to sensory processing and school participation. Occupational therapists assess what is getting in the way and design practical strategies to build independence and confidence.

Occupational Therapy for Kids

NDIS registered and approved occupational therapy services for children to reach their full potential and increase functioning in everyday life.

Exercise Physiology

Structured, evidence-based exercise programs designed and supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist to improve physical health, manage chronic conditions and support disability. For children it can target motor development; for adults it often addresses pain, metabolic conditions and mental health.

Dietetics

Evidence-based assessment and advice from an Accredited Practising Dietitian on food, nutrition and eating behaviours. For children, this often covers fussy eating, growth concerns, food allergies and healthy development; for adults it covers medical nutrition management and general health.

Clinical Pilates

Hydrotherapy

Therapeutic exercises performed in a heated pool under the supervision of a physiotherapist or occupational therapist. The water's buoyancy reduces joint stress and allows movement that may be difficult on land, making it beneficial for children and adults with physical disability, chronic pain or low muscle tone.

Massage

Clinical massage therapy provided by physiotherapists to relieve tension, stress and pain.

Bracing

Mobilisation and rehabilitation using braces as an important part of physiotherapy treatment.

Aged Care

Allied health and support services for older Australians to maintain independence, manage health conditions and participate in daily life. Services include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietetics and social support, delivered at home or in residential aged care settings.

Mobile Physiotherapy

Allied health services delivered at client locations.

Meet the team

Your first visit

At the initial consultation, the physiotherapist or occupational therapist will perform a thorough physical and developmental assessment to understand your child's specific needs and goals. Once the assessment is complete, the therapist will explain their findings to you and discuss the recommended treatment approach. For physiotherapy, this initial visit typically takes around 40 minutes. Treatment will be tailored to your child's condition, combining hands-on techniques with exercise programs and education to help your child regain function and confidence.
