Our paediatric physiotherapy sessions are tailored to your child’s individual needs. We focus on assessment and goal setting by understanding your child’s abilities and injury/condition and apply therapy interventions including manual therapy and rehabilitation.

We then provide the parents/caregivers with education and support to be able to help their child progress within the physiotherapy sessions.
