At The Physios, we understand the importance of early intervention and tailored physiotherapy treatments in supporting the healthy development of children.

Whether your child is experiencing delayed milestones, a musculoskeletal condition, or recovering from an injury, our expert physiotherapists are dedicated to helping them achieve optimal physical function, mobility, and quality of life.
Paediatric Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the physical health of children. It aims to assess, treat, and prevent physical issues related to movement, posture, and physical development in children. Children’s bodies are unique, and paediatric physiotherapists are trained to recognize the differences in a child’s growing body to provide age-appropriate treatments that cater to their needs. From congenital conditions to developmental delays and injuries, paediatric physiotherapy helps address a wide range of conditions, ensuring that children reach their full potential.
The early years of a child’s life are critical for their physical and neurological development. Any issues during this phase can have lasting impacts on their health and overall development. Paediatric physiotherapy is crucial in preventing these issues from becoming more serious in the future. By detecting and treating physical concerns early on, physiotherapists can ensure your child’s body develops properly, minimizing the risk of chronic pain or disabilities as they grow. Moreover, paediatric physiotherapy encourages children to engage in physical activities that help improve their motor skills, coordination, and balance, fostering their overall wellbeing and confidence.
Paediatric physiotherapists at The Physios are experienced in treating a variety of conditions, including but not limited to:
At The Physios, we take a child-centered approach to physiotherapy. Our experienced paediatric physiotherapists begin by conducting a comprehensive assessment, which includes understanding the child’s medical history, conducting a physical examination, and evaluating their overall development. Based on this assessment, a personalized treatment plan is created that is designed to meet the individual needs of each child.
Our treatments are evidence-based and use a variety of techniques, including manual therapy, exercises, strengthening routines, balance training, and stretching. We also incorporate play-based therapy to keep children engaged and ensure that they enjoy the process of recovery.
Our therapists work closely with parents and caregivers, providing education and home exercises to continue treatment outside of the clinic. This approach fosters collaboration, making sure that your child receives the best care at every step.
