  • Our approach

    At First Step Therapy Services, physiotherapy is designed specifically for children, recognizing that they are not mini adults and their bodies and movement systems are constantly growing and changing. The team believes children respond best to therapy in environments where they feel safe, supported, and comfortable, so sessions are offered in natural settings including their home, childcare, school, local parks, and other community spaces. The approach is evidence-based and creates a calm, engaging environment where children feel comfortable and confident. Each therapy plan is tailored to the individual child's needs, supporting families through NDIS-funded services and emerging Foundational Supports like Thriving Kids.
