Paediatric physiotherapy

Therapy that looks like play, because it is

Home, school and daycare visits for children who need a hand with movement — gross motor delays, coordination, tone, mobility. Sessions the child actually looks forward to.

Children do their best work where they're comfortable

A clinic can be an intimidating place for a child — and twenty minutes of a forty-minute session can vanish into warming up to a strange room. At home, in their own space with their own toys, children settle faster and try harder. The therapy is woven into games they choose, so effort feels like play.

School and daycare visits work the same way: we see the child in the environment where the challenge shows up, whether that's the playground equipment, the classroom floor or the stairs to the library, and work with the teachers who are there every day.

Parents are the program

The physiotherapist visits weekly; you're there every day. Every session ends with you knowing exactly what to practise and how to fold it into normal life — bath time, the walk to the car, kicking a ball in the yard. Small doses, every day, is how children progress.

We work alongside your paediatrician, OT and speech therapist, and our NDIS reports are written to support your plan reviews with measurable, goal-linked progress.

Care is available directly in Cantonese, Mandarin and Vietnamese, which matters as much for the conversation with parents as it does with the child.

What a visit looks like

The practical details

Play-based sessions

Therapy hidden inside games the child chooses — effort that feels like fun.

Home, school or daycare

We go where the challenge shows up, and work with the adults who are there daily.

Team players

Coordinated with your paediatrician, OT, speechie and teachers — one plan, not four.

Funding: Most of our paediatric families use self- or plan-managed NDIS funding (typically Improved Daily Living). Private visits are also available — some families start privately while an NDIS access request is underway. More on fees & funding →

Good questions

Asked all the time

What ages do you see?
From toddlers through to teenagers. The approach shifts with age, from play-based for little ones to more gym- and sport-flavoured for older kids, but the home or school setting stays.
Do you work with schools directly?
Yes, with your consent. School visits include time with the teacher or learning support officer, so the strategies keep working all week — not just while we're there.
My child gets anxious with new people — how do you handle the first visit?
Slowly, and on the child's terms. The first visit is often mostly play and observation, building trust before we ask for effort. A familiar home setting does half the work for us.
