• Our approach

  At Move Play Grow, therapy is delivered in a family-centred, goal-directed way that focuses on what matters most to your child and family. Sessions are held in a fun, inviting clinic environment and include assessment, therapy tailored to your child's individual needs, equipment prescription, and water-based hydrotherapy to develop gross motor skills and water confidence. The team believes therapy should be creative, motivating, and play-based, recognising that children learn and participate most actively when they're enjoying themselves. Evidence-based practice underpins all sessions, whether delivered in the clinic, community, or home setting.

• Working with families

  The practice operates on a family-centred model, meaning your involvement and input are central to your child's care. Jacinta Jones, the Customer Engagement Officer, manages all client and family enquiries and is your point of contact for questions and administrative matters. Your family's goals and priorities guide the therapy plan, and the physiotherapists work collaboratively with you to empower your child and achieve the outcomes that matter to your family. Communication happens throughout the therapy journey to ensure you're informed and involved at every stage.
