• Our approach

  The clinic aims to provide best quality physiotherapy based on the latest research and treatment techniques, with sessions tailored to each child's individual goals and needs. Treatment is personalised and adapted to meet unique requirements, with an active, empowering approach that encourages children to participate in their recovery. Sessions typically involve assessment and hands-on physiotherapy techniques combined with exercise programs. The clinic offers access to their own hydrotherapy pool, pilates studio and gym facilities to support rehabilitation and progression. Education for the child and family about the condition and benefits of physical therapy is combined with treatment interventions.

• Working with families

  The clinic works closely with families and carers to create comprehensive treatment plans. Family education is a key part of sessions, with therapists educating parents and carers about their child's condition, the benefits of physical therapy, and how to support their child's progress. The team collaborates with families to ensure treatment aligns with the child's goals and needs, and provides support with progress reports and functional assessments for NDIS plan reviews where relevant.

• Meet the team

  The children's therapy team includes physiotherapists (Danielle, Sophie, Bec, Mahlie, Ana, Elano, Zoe, Annie and Anna) and a physiotherapy assistant (Kate). The team also includes occupational therapists (Michelle, an Accredited Hand Therapist, and Renae), an Exercise Physiologist (Alana), and swim instructors (Jackie, Hayley and Mitch). All therapists are qualified professionals with experience in children's therapy services.

• Your first visit

  At the first appointment, the physiotherapists carefully assess each patient to provide personalised treatment that is safe and effective. The assessment identifies the child's condition, goals and any underlying contributing factors. This is typically combined with family education about the child's condition and the benefits of physical therapy. The therapists will discuss exercise programs and treatment interventions appropriate for the child, and work to develop a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the individual's needs.
