Paediatric Physiotherapy Services

We provide paediatric physiotherapy services designed to help children improve physical function, build confidence in movement, and achieve greater independence. Our programs encourage active participation and support developmental milestones for kids of all ages.

Gross motor skills include big movements like crawling, walking, running, and jumping that build strength, balance, and coordination. If your child is struggling with these skills, paediatric physiotherapy can help improve mobility and confidence through tailored exercises and play-based therapy.
Fine motor skills involve smaller actions such as grasping toys, drawing, and buttoning clothes. Our physiotherapists support children to develop these skills, making everyday tasks easier and promoting independence.

We treat common injuries such as rolled ankles, knee pain, heel pain, and overuse injuries from running, jumping, and high-impact sports. Our physiotherapists assess what’s causing the problem and create tailored treatment plans to reduce pain, restore strength and flexibility, and prevent future injuries so your child can get back to soccer, netball, athletics, or playground play with confidence.

Strength, flexibility, and posture are essential for everyday activities like sitting comfortably at school, climbing on playground equipment, riding a bike, and carrying a backpack. If your child struggles to sit upright for long periods, tires easily, or shows poor posture, paediatric physiotherapy can help. Through fun, targeted exercises and play-based strategies, we work to improve core strength, range of motion, and alignment so your child can move and sit with ease.

Paediatric continence physiotherapy supports children aged five and over with bladder and bowel control issues such as bedwetting, daytime leaks, constipation, and toileting delays. We work closely with families to make toileting easier and reduce stress for both children and parents.

Balance and coordination are essential for activities like sitting, walking, running, and playing. If your child often trips, falls, or struggles with these skills, paediatric physiotherapy can help improve stability and movement control through fun, targeted exercises. Our goal is to build confidence and support safe, active participation in everyday life.

Growth-related pain can make everyday activities like walking, running, and playing uncomfortable for some children. Conditions such as heel pain (Sever’s disease), knee pain (Osgood-Schlatter disease), hip pain, or back pain during growth phases can affect participation in sports, dancing, and school PE. Paediatric physiotherapists can assess what’s causing the pain and provide strategies to reduce discomfort, improve flexibility and strength, and keep kids moving confidently as they grow.

We use approaches like the BSPTS Rigo Concept, a PSSE method similar to Schroth, to teach 3D posture correction, strengthen core muscles, and improve symmetry. Our physiotherapists also work alongside bracing prescribed by orthopaedic specialists, helping your child maintain strength and flexibility during brace wear and transition phases.

Free scoliosis screening is available to check for signs such as uneven shoulders, hips, or clothing not sitting straight. Early assessment means we can guide you on the best next steps for your child’s care.

Home, school and clinic visits

We offer flexible physiotherapy sessions in the environment that works best for your child whether at home, school, or in our clinic. This approach ensures therapy is practical, convenient, and tailored to everyday routines. We collaborate with families, teachers, and support teams to help children achieve their goals in real-life settings.

Walking and running gait plays a big role in how children move, participate in sports, and avoid injuries. If your child walks or runs with an unusual pattern, trips often, or complains of pain, paediatric physiotherapy can help. Our physiotherapists assess gait to identify what’s going on and provide tailored strategies to improve movement, reduce discomfort, and support confident, efficient walking and running.

Neurological and neuromuscular rehabilitation supports children with conditions that affect movement, strength, and coordination, such as cerebral palsy, functional neurological disorder (FND), spina bifida, neuromuscular disorders (including muscular dystrophy), brain injury, or developmental delay. Our physiotherapists assess your child’s abilities and design tailored programs to improve mobility, posture, and functional skills using play-based therapy and evidence-based techniques. We focus on building independence and participation in everyday activities at home, school, and in the community.

Aquatic physiotherapy is similar to hydrotherapy and uses the warmth and buoyancy of water to make movement easier, safer, and more enjoyable. This gentle, play-based therapy improves strength, balance, and coordination while reducing pain and joint stress. It’s ideal for kids with developmental delays, neurological conditions, or musculoskeletal challenges. In a supportive, sensory-rich environment, paediatric aquatic physiotherapy boosts confidence, encourages social interaction, and turns physiotherapy into fun

Braces/Harness’ for DDH (Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip) are prescribed by a doctor or specialist to promote healthy hip development in babies and young children. Our physiotherapists can assist with fittings and reviews of Pavlik harness’ and Rhino braces. A referral from your doctor or orthopaedic specialist is required before starting treatment. Families receive education on safe handling, and positioning and we also provide home visits for reviews.

Serial Casting and Splinting

Serial casting and splinting help improve joint position, muscle length, and function for children with conditions such as cerebral palsy, toe walking, or post-Botox treatment. We can also fit Turtle braces and provide advice around night splinting options.

For more complex needs, our joint clinic with Momentum offers a collaborative approach, bringing together physiotherapists and orthotists to deliver the best care for your child.

Equipment Prescription

We provide tailored advice and prescription for equipment that supports your child’s posture, mobility, and independence. This includes standing frames, walking frames, postural support garments, and orthotic advice. Our goal is to ensure every recommendation fits your child’s needs and promotes comfort, safety, and participation in daily life.

Developmental checks for babies and infants

Developmental checks for babies and infants help ensure your child is meeting important milestones for movement, strength, and coordination. Our physiotherapists assess skills like rolling, sitting, crawling, and early walking, and provide guidance if delays or concerns are identified. Early assessment means we can support your baby’s development with practical strategies and play-based activities to build confidence and independence.
