Physiotherapy can begin as early as infancy, particularly when a child is born with a condition that affects their physical development, such as cerebral palsy, torticollis, plagiocephaly (flat head), or other developmental delays. Pediatric physiotherapy can help identify any potential issues and provide early intervention for your baby or child’s optimal growth and development. Premature and NICU babies may require physiotherapy to help them develop their muscles and prevent associated complications. Our physiotherapists are equipped to support babies post-NICU discharge. They can provide specialised developmental assessment tools (e.g. General Movement Assessment) and intervention for fragile newborns and infants.

Our team of experienced therapists can provide a broad range of interventions which include and are not limited to:

• Early intervention
• Play-based gross motor activities
• Child and family-focused goal setting
• Tailored exercise programmes
• Prescription and adjustment of equipment
• Formal motor assessments (e.g. General Movements Assessment)

Our physiotherapists are AHPC-certified and highly skilled to manage infant and paediatric conditions. They are able to provide both clinic-based or home-based sessions to best suit your needs.

The frequency of physiotherapy sessions varies for each child and is dependent on their specific needs and the nature of their condition. After the initial assessment, our therapists will recommend a therapy schedule that would best suit your child’s needs. This could range from several times a week to weekly or fortnightly sessions. Regular sessions help to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. It’s also crucial to continue prescribed exercises at home to maximize the benefits of therapy.

Deciding on the type and intensity of physiotherapy that your child needs involves a detailed assessment of their current physical abilities, medical history, and individual goals. Our therapists conduct a comprehensive evaluation to understand your child’s unique needs. Based on the results of this assessment and in consultation with you, we create a personalized therapy plan that aligns with your child’s requirements and objectives. This tailored approach ensures the therapy is most effective for your child.

Parents play a crucial role in their child’s physiotherapy. Active participation and collaboration with our therapy team can significantly enhance the effectiveness of the treatment plan. Parents are often involved in sessions to understand the therapy process, learn techniques, and know how to assist their child with exercises at home. This ensures a consistent approach to supporting the child’s physical development and rehabilitation goals.
