Paediatric Physiotherapy
Therapy support for infants and children who need extra guidance reaching movement and developmental milestones.
Understanding Paediatric Physiotherapy
Children reach movement milestones at different paces, and some need focused support to build strength, coordination, or muscle control. Paediatric physiotherapy uses play-based, age-appropriate exercises to support each child's development.
Conditions We Treat
Delayed Motor Milestones
Support for infants who are slower to sit, crawl, or walk than expected.
- Your child has not reached an expected movement milestone
- Your paediatrician has flagged a developmental delay
- You want guidance on activities to encourage movement
Torticollis (Tight Neck Muscles)
Gentle exercises to ease neck muscle tightness that causes a persistent head tilt.
- Your baby consistently tilts or turns their head to one side
- You notice a flat spot developing on one side of the head
- Your doctor has identified a neck muscle tightness
Low Muscle Tone
Building strength and stability in children with reduced muscle tone.
- Your child seems unusually floppy or low in tone
- Your child tires quickly during physical activity
- A doctor has raised a concern about muscle tone
Gait or Walking Concerns
Addressing unusual walking patterns as a child begins to walk and move independently.
- You notice an unusual walking pattern in your child
- Your child frequently trips or loses balance
- You want reassurance about your child's walking development
Coordination and Balance Support
Therapy to build coordination and balance in children who struggle with physical play.
- Your child seems less coordinated than peers of the same age
- Your child avoids physical play or activities
- A teacher or doctor has raised a coordination concern
Mobility Recovery After Illness or Injury
Helping a child regain movement and strength after a hospital stay, illness, or injury.
- Your child has lost some mobility after an illness or injury
- Your child is recovering from a hospital stay
- A doctor has recommended physiotherapy for recovery
Recovery & Rehabilitation
From an initial movement assessment to steady progress, paediatric physiotherapy follows each child's pace.
Assessment
Movement & Development Review
A therapist observes movement, muscle tone, and milestones to understand your child's needs.
Treatment
Play-Based Therapy
Age-appropriate, play-based exercises build strength, coordination, and movement skills.
Recovery
Steady Progress Building
Sessions build on each other as your child gains strength, control, and confidence in movement.
Follow-up
Milestone Tracking
Progress is reviewed against developmental milestones, with the plan adjusted as needed.
Paediatric Physiotherapy questions
Get answers about supporting your child's movement and development.
If your paediatrician has flagged a delay, or you notice your child consistently behind peers in movement milestones, an assessment can clarify whether therapy would help.
Paediatric physiotherapy can help if:
- Your child has not reached an expected motor milestone
- Your baby shows a persistent head tilt or tightness
- Your child seems low in muscle tone or tires easily
- You have noticed an unusual walking or balance pattern
- Your child needs mobility support after illness or injury
Therapy built around play, not pressure
Sessions use age-appropriate, engaging activities so children build strength and movement skills at a pace that suits them.
