From PhysioTots's website.

  • Our approach

    PhysioTots is a family-centred practice that uses play-based therapy grounded in evidence-based principles including Motor Learning, CME, Bobath, NDT and neuroplasticity. Sessions are tailored individually to each child—not a one-size-fits-all approach—with purposeful strength-based goals designed to achieve functional independence and opportunities for play and recreation. The practice emphasises relationship building, developing close and respectful connections between child and family, while always considering the child's future in therapy planning. Therapists collaborate with local multidisciplinary teams to maximise each child's potential in a nurturing and safe environment.

  • Working with families

    PhysioTots is explicitly described as a family-centred practice that works closely with children and their families to help them reach their functional potential. The practice develops close, cooperative, and respectful relationships with the child and their extended family, and provides individualised programs that meet the goals families set for their child. Regular communication and collaboration with parents is built into the therapy approach, though specific methods of parent update or involvement details are not detailed on the website.
